Winter Wedding

This was a beautiful winter wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn in Cheshire.

The interior was decorated by Uplit Events, and looked like a gorgeous winter wonderland.

I was shooting this wedding on my own so I wanted to make sure that I was at the back of the room at the end of the ceremony, ready for these guys coming down the aisle.

They were showered in confetti so I wanted to make sure that I could capture all the fast movement in an environment that was a bit darker than a daytime wedding.

There are more images in this wedding slideshow video.

Hallmark Hotel Handforth Dean

Are you thinking of booking the Hallmark Hotel Handforth Dean as your wedding venue?

Then take a look at some of the images below.

The gazebo is a great location for some bride and groom pictures.

The flowers make a great backdrop:

The hotel also has some gardens which are a great location for portrait pictures:

And family formals:

There are lawn chairs for anyone that needs a little bit of a rest.

Inside, the main function room can be set up as a dancefloor, for the first dance:

And there’s room for all kinds of dance moves:

Tower House Hotel

The Tower House Hotel is a wedding venue in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

It’s in a great location, sitting in view of the Wainhouse Tower.

The ceremony room is a cute space for tying the knot.

There’s a little bench for photos with the bride and groom (or groom and best man!)

And a little garden area for more pictures.

That’s also a good backdrop for night photos.

Hazlewood Castle Ceremony

I love the natural smiles in this picture.

This was taken in the ceremony room at Hazlewood Castle.

The window off to the right was providing plenty of light, so it was a dream location to shoot.

Christina was tucked away in the other corner of the room, so was able to get some great shots of the groom from another angle.

Check out some more of these photo stories.

Lancaster Registry Office Wedding

Behind Lancaster Registry Office is this beautiful spot.

It’s a perfect location to grab some photos immediately after the ceremony.

These weren’t arranged beforehand but I’d spotted this place when I was scouting the location the morning of the wedding.

In the weeks before I’d been looking for scenic locations on Google Maps that we could visit without having to drive.

(The reception was in another location so we only had a bit of time here immediately after the ceremony.)

So I was really pleased that this was just behind the registry office.

It had been raining heavily all morning. There was still a bit of rain by this point but the bridal party had a few solutions:

Wedding at The Arkwright Rooms, Nottingham

This was a beautiful wedding. The ceremony room here was full of natural light and amazing features, making our job a lot easier!

The bride and groom were smiling and giggling throughout (again, making our job easier!)

There was a lot of emotion in the room. I was on the other side, trying to capture some of the reactions of the guests while also keeping the bride and groom in the shot.

After signing the register, we tried a couple of quick shots from the back of the room, to capture some of the awesome details, like the fans and beams above:
