  • Hanna & Gary’s Sandburn Hall Wedding

    Hanna & Gary’s Sandburn Hall Wedding

    It’s funny how things work out.

    Back when my kids were in primary school I used to donate a photo shoot voucher as a raffle prize.  Disappointingly, despite there being a winner every time, it was very rare that people would actually claim their prize.

    There was this one family I do remember claiming their prize.  A lovely young couple named Hanna and Gary.  We spent about an hour together crafting memories.

    I have since come to find out that on that day, they both agreed that if they were to get married, they would like me to be their photographer, on the basis that Gary was not fond of having his photo taken but felt comfortable with me.

    Well, here we are, almost 6 years later!

    This wedding was a great pleasure to shoot.  Not only was it lovely to spend time with Hanna and Gary again, it was also my first visit to Sandburn Hall Golf Club.  Add to that almost perfect weather, and you’ve got a recipe for some spectacular photos.

    Speaking of which….

  • Sam & Paul’s Hornington Manor Wedding

    Sam & Paul’s Hornington Manor Wedding

    Every wedding I photograph is an honour and a pleasure, those who ask me know how much I love what I do. But when I’m photographing the wedding of someone I know it’s even more special.

    Playing such an important part of my old school friend Paul’s wedding day meant a lot, and having the chance to catch up with a few of the guys from school felt like the last 20+ years since we left never happened.

    Add to that the fact that it was an unbelievably mild February day in the beautiful surroundings of Hornington Manor, and I’d say 2024 is getting off to a pretty special start.

    The gorgeous venue: @horningtonmanor looked even better because of the stunning flowers by @hydeparkflowerclub.by.dotties​

    ​The bridal party looked stunning with help from @hair_by_ashley_mitchell​​ and @facesbylaurenrippin

    We were entertained by @lilykerbeymusic throughout the day, and @stangers_theband in the evening.​

    And my word, what a fantastic beef dinner by @thehogandapple.

    All this meant that the photos came easy for me (@jlmweddings) and @alex_wilden​.
