Last weekend saw me returning to my home county of Yorkshire to photograph Jess and Jay’s wedding in Halifax. I’ve known Jess’s father for several years through my commercial photography work and it was a real honor that he recommended me to shoot something as important as his daughters wedding.

I took in instant like to Jess and Jay they are such a friendly, couple and I share many interests with them so knew Saturday was going to be a blast – I wasn’t wrong! I was made so welcome, I felt like a guest with a camera than a hired professional.

Jess is my first bride with red hair, I do hope she’s not the last, she looked amazing!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from their day…

My couple seem to have all the luck with the weather these days and Chris and Katy were no exception with just the lightest of showers on arrival, from then on the weather was absolutely gorgeous. They were granted a special license to hold their ceremony in Chester university’s chapel which doesn’t usually hold weddings.

From the ceremony the 3 of us had a walk by the river for a few photos before heading to Convivio for their champaign reception and wedding breakfast.

Chris and Katy had a steel band entertaining their guests, the sound of which has always fascinated me from being a small child and I realised a childhood goal as I was kindly allowed to have a go.

Convivio is a converted church and a beautiful venue in its own right whith plenty of scope for creativity. They were all set to dance well into the night when I left them.

Paul and Megan’s wedding was held 23 Floors up behind glass in the fabulous Cloud 23 bar inside the Manchester Hilton. This was one wedding the weather never had a chance of spoiling, in fact the storm clouds have made for some stunning photographs.

Paul and Megan had a relaxed morning geting ready at Didsbury House Hotel before Paul made his way to the Hilton on a fabulous classic red bus leaving Megan to arrive in luxurious style by limousine with her 6 bridesmaids.

The ceremony took place over looking the city which is no place to be if you suffer from vertigo or are scared of heights – personally, I loved it!

We stayed at the Hilton a couple of hours before heading back to the Didsbury House Hotel on that very cool red bus for the wedding breakfast and evening entertainment.

After a week of snow and rain Stephen and Sarah were blessed with the most perfect weather for their Valentines day wedding at the stunning St. Barnabus church on Penny Lane.

Although no one should have to work on their wedding day, on this occasion the grooms profession as a dentist was needed for some emergency crown repair for his mum otherwise there would have been no big smiles from her on the day.

On to the Radisson SAS in the centre, yet another stunning Liverpool venue for the reception. I left them to party after capturing their first dance.

Here are a few more photographs from their day.
