Sam enjoyed it, despite looking very nervous waiting at the ceremony for Caroline’s arrival. He needn’t have worried as she arrived in good time, looking a million dollars, very glamorous like a silver screen film star.

Thanks for letting us be part of your day. Hopefully see you guys again, next time we are back in Manchester.

Love Louise & Barry

When we arrived all the boys were suited and booted and were looking very dashing, with a lot of pacing and nicotine to calm the nerves while the girls were getting ready in a room upstairs. The first thing I noticed when going into the room was the dress, it looked amazing even in the plastic bag, a very vintage honey colour with lots of lace and detail -a jaw dropping Ian Stuart number, perfect for the romantic setting. The shoes matched perfectly with the little cameo, she was very lucky to still have them at the end of the day as we’ve got the same shoe size we have the same shoe size so was very tempted to give them try.

The wedding was so relaxed and enjoyable, full of friendly guests who were always up for a quick natter in between shots. The wedding was intimate, full of people they loved and that meant a lot to James and Joy. There was such (without sounding too hippy) a good vibe, everyone we spoke to thought so highly of the couple, a lotta love in the room. James is from New Zealand and it was so lovely that his mum was able to make it over to the wedding. She made a lovely speech with messages from his sisters back home which was a lovely touch. Hope you had a safe flight back Colleen! Joy and James will be joining her shortly when they move over to New Zealand to start their newly wedded life of bliss -with a short stop in Thailand first for a bit of sun

Joy has two wonderful sisters who took care of most things for the wedding, an unbelievably creative duo who can turn their hand to anything wedding, from hairdressing, making invitations, favours (amazing photo frames), flower arranging, creating centre pieces and cake making! Everything hand made with every attention detail. Who needs to spend money on wedding planners when you have such wonderful sisters. I have included some pics of their handy work below. Everyone is trying to convince them to start up a wedding design service…do it do it do it. Anyone interested in their services let us know

Thank you so much for allowing us to photograph your day, we had a wonderful time. We wish you every happiness for your future in New Zealand.
Take care Lou and Barry xxx

Emma and Tom had seen those photos and got in touch. I visited the lovely couple in Birmingham, Tom’s parents live there, and we went through the portfolio. It’s good to show couples full weddings to give them an idea of what they can expect to receive.

On the day of the wedding we met Emma at Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool, for some prep shots, and she looked gorgeous. Then on to the church, before the reception at Sefton Park, Palm House.

We enjoyed the day and ended up staying rather late, as the dance floor was packed with people enjoying the fantastic band, played a lot of 80′s.. Awesome.

It really was a great day for a great couple and an honour to be part of.

There were a few familiar faces, as this wedding was a referral from Tray and Sarah, so was nice to see Tracy and Sarah and a few other family members.

Many thanks for having me at your wedding, and all the best to the two of you and your growing family.

A nice moment captured.

It was a really relaxed day for all, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Everyone looked very excited to get stuck into the tiered cheese cake, with plenty of chutneys, grapes and crackers!

It was a great day, friendly guests and a lovely couple to be around.

Ramy is so tiny but very alert, and I think loved having his pictured taken. Don’t think he cried once.

Anoushka’s is such a natural with her little one and has a lovely family around her. No doubt we will be back in the Wirral to “Shoot the Shewhoraks” again!

Evan is up walking around now, so we decided to make the most of this and get some shots of him playing in his local park, as well as some of him playing with his toys. He likes his football, but undecided who to play for, Liverpool or Manchester City, fingers crossed its Liverpool!!

Evan is such a happy baby, and within minutes warmed to us, involving us in his games. All the best to the three of you, the disc is being sent out today. Hope to see you again sometime!

This was a tricky one, but I really like this shot, Louise took. It shows one of Amy’s bridesmaids looking into the church from outside. It captures the anticipation, excitement and nervousness of the 5 – 10 minutes leading up to the bride walking down the aisle.
