Altimate Wedding Photography

23/06/2024

Hi All. After some serious thought I have decided that I will be hanging up my camera bag for the foreseeable future. Recent family illness plus my enthusiasm for my changed career and interests meant photography had already become a side line instead of a full time passion.
I have enjoying some absolutely wonderful and amazing days alongside many of you on your beautiful wedding days.
I am thoroughly enjoying my changed career working in a high school with all of the hustle and bustle of nearly 80 staff and 700 students, which starkly contrasts with 30 years of working solo or with my wonderful wife.
If I decide to return to wedding photography after a break it will be my pleasure to let you know on this page.
Thank you for all your help and for the privilege to be a part of your wedding days.

John.

What a wonderful day we had celebrating Danielle and Adams wedding. Congratulations to you both. What a delightful couple. It was a real privilege to spend the day with you both. We were so lucky that the weather didn't affect the day too much and those downpours came just at the right times.

Huge Congratulations to Jackie and Adrian who married at The Hilton Festival Park. What an absolutely adorable couple. I was laughing non stop all day and as you can see from the photos so were they! Sometimes I wish I could live the day again just for the fun of it. At least I have the memories and so do they!

Congratulations to Laura and Stephen who married at Three Horseshoes Country Inn & Spa. What a lovely couple and I had a wonderful time with them on their special day. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share it with you. Laura thoroughly enjoyed our short rock climbing trip up to the roaches in her pristine white dress. How her dress stayed spotless up there is amazing!

After photographing hundreds of wedding I can honestly say I have lived the vast majority of these scenarios but, wow🤣, this made me laugh my socks off.

Congratulations to the awesome Mr and Mrs De-ath who married this week at The Ashes Barns Wedding Venue & Country House Accommodation.
A very special, but very dark, damp and rainy day. As you can see it certainly didn't spoil the brides mood as this awesome sunny side up wonder, made the day as wonderful as any bright sunny wedding day. What a star!
You are a very fortunate chap Mr De-ath.

Congratulations to Chloe and Simon who married over the weekend at The Manor House Hotel, Alsager. Though the death of our monarch was very much on our minds and filled many conversations, we felt assured that the queen would have wanted the celebration to continue, and so it did, and it was a wonderful day!

Congratulations to Carys and Jack who married over the weekend at De Vere Cranage Estate. Cranage looked after the wedding superbly and we got some lovely photos as the weather was very kind for October! One very nervous groom delivered a superb speech and did a sterling job overcoming his fears! Carys chose a beautiful dress and she looked stunning!
Sorry for the delay getting the photos online (not helped by facebook being down). They are now on our website.
