Just the two of them at the end of the walkway at Brockholes? Actually, a family had walked into shot so I had to remove them. Can you tell where?

Charlotte and Paul Trailer
Charlotte and Paul Trailer

Last weekend I filmed the wedding of Charlotte and Paul at The Greenhill Hotel . I'm looking forward to working on their highlights film!

Take a look at my latest wedding. This was the marriage of Charlotte and James at Halifax Hall. This was the first ever wedding where I have had to bring in an associate photographer to cover for me due to ill health. I've always said that if I have to bring someone in then they will be as good as or better than myself so for this wedding I was lucky enough to get Rob Clayton to cover for me. The photos were taken by Rob and edited by me. Enjoy! :)

All my weddings are shot for the year so here's a look back at my weddings from 2021 (and a couple from 2020). Enjoy :)

Some of my favourite shots from 2019. Have a zen moment and find yourself :D

Louise and Reece cake cut.

I wasn't there to film yesterday but ended up doing this for Luise and Reece anyway as their cake was being affected by the heat and imitating the tower of Pisa. They decided to cut the cake while they still could and I filmed this so their guests could see later. One of the guests was kind enough to hold this camera for me while I took photos.

No weddings this weekend, but lots of Harry Potter! 😁

Shooting in #Liverpool today, we took a trip to the beach. I had DLQPhotography along to help out.

A selection from my 2018 weddings. It's what all the cool cats are doing these days. Can you see yourself in these?
