Last weekend on a wonderful winter’s day, we had chance to photograph Vicky and Rob before their big day. These guy’s are a real joy and we had a lot of fun photographing them around the grounds of Towneley Hall. Vicky and Rob make a gorgeous couple so we can’t wait to photograph their wedding day at Stanley House later in December.

Kate and Will Engagement Shoot Preston

Karl — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:08:53 +0000

A pre-wedding shoot is always a great idea as it helps dispel the insecurities most couples have of themselves when having their picture taken.

Kate and Will are no exception to this rule but they soon discovered as with all our couples, that pictures can be fun, relaxed and a wonderful experience.

This lovely couple were soon showing some love with a little help and direction from us but only helping to capture their true feelings towards each other and with the ‘so cute’ little Harry in tow the afternoon shoot was an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Here are a few of our favourites from the session. Enjoy!

Bolton Wedding – Jenny + Ben at the Ramada Hotel

Karl — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:11:58 +0000

Jenny and Ben tied the knot at the Ramada Jarvis in Bolton. It was a fantastic day and such a great atmosphere and from all the grinning that was done by Jenny and Ben I think they had a brilliant day. The speeches were lovely and sometimes emotional with an entertaining stand-up (should be a comedian) from the bestman!

We started the morning photographing Jenny getting ready at the hotel.

Part one. Dominika & Des wedding in Poland.

We enjoyed photographing the most fabulous wedding of the delightful Dominika and Des in Poznan, Poland. The whole day was enjoyed by everybody who attended… some from as far afield as Canada and we were privileged to be a part of this wonderful day. A special thanks goes to Dominka and Des’s family and friends who took us under their wing and made the whole experience absolutely enjoyable.

Here are just a few of our favorites from the day and doesn’t Dominika just look incredible! Please enjoy these pictures. Part two to follow soon!

Starting the day at Dominika’s mum and dad’s house…It was such a hot day… is it just me who thought Poland was cold!

Dominika’s mum and dads house is really lovely..and the garden is amazing…we used it for lots of the pictures…

Dominika’s lovely mum!

…And dad!

The dress is so elegant…fit for a model like bride!

Dominika looked beautiful in her wedding dress!

I’m thinking Dominika and best friend Mary were a handful when they were younger!

This is a beautiful church!

We catch up with Des.. looking a little thoughtful… before Dominika’s eminent arrival….

Part two to follow!

Eve + Simon – Pre-wedding shoot at Castlefield

Karl — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 21:21:25 +0000

We met up with the lovely Eve and Simon in Castlefield for their pre-wedding shoot. After a drink and a chat we then headed off to take some pictures local to The Castlefield Rooms, which is where Eve and Simon are to have their wedding day.

We had a lot of fun during our time together as Eve and Simon are just naturally relaxed with each other and with the camera…and I can honestly say that these guy’s didn’t stop smiling all through the afternoon! We managed to capture some really great pictures of the two of them and I just know their wedding day is going to be fantastic.

Here are just a few of our favourites from our day. Enjoy!

Eve and Simon, thanks so much for being great fun. See you soon.

Jenny + Ben + Sophie – A Family Portrait Shoot

Karl — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:19:22 +0000

We took Jenny and Ben along with their daughter Sophie, up to our usual haunt at Rivington, for a family portrait shoot. We were lucky with the weather as we had planned for earlier in the day but was raining buckets until clearing to a bright and sunny afternoon.

Our session gave us chance to meet up with Jenny and Ben before their big day and see how they react to being photographed and being the centre of attention…and I should report they were all marvelous…fun to photograph and I hope enjoyed our time together!

I know we’re looking forward to photographing Jenny and Ben’s wedding day in a few weeks time and I hope our session gave them some confidence when they see these great pictures!

Here are just a few of our favorites from the day. Enjoy!

We couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to have a pre-wedding shoot with Dominika and Des before their wedding in Poznan in Poland, in a few weeks time. The shoot was at Beacon Fell , a great location with amazing views and a place dear to both their hearts as it was here when Des popped the question to Dominika.

We had a great time with two fantastic people, both are annoyingly good looking and I just know Dominika is going to look absolutley stunning in her wedding dress! Thanks guys for bearing the cold, we had a great time taking pictures of you and can’t wait to photograph your wedding day. Poland here we come! Here a few of out favourite pictures from the shoot.
