Wedding photographer in Cheshire, Lancashire and the North West
What a wedding to come back to! I’ve been living and working out in Tanzania for the last 4 months, having the time of my life, but returned last week to a packed wedding season. First wedding back, this beauty at Sandon Hall in Staffordshire…
Paul and Jen, I’ve absolutely loved spending time with you both and your wedding yesterday was amazing (lovely, beautiful…)! Have a fantastic honeymoon and enjoy your sneak peek!

So I may be sweltering in the heat of Tanzania at the moment (although I’m writing this in advance so I ‘think’ if all goes to plan at this point I will be exploring Zanzibar) but later on today I start the journey home and get back ready to photograph Paul and Jen’s wedding at Sandon Hall in Staffordshire.
Just before Christmas, on a frosty but thankfully rainfree day in December, I met up with Paul and Jen at Dunham Massey (where Paul proposed on Christmas Day 2011) for their pre-wedding shoot. We laughed a lot, wandered around trying to find the exact spot where Paul popped the question (we found it, see the last two images!) and saw lots and lots of deer.
Paul and Jen, see you in a few days, I can’t wait to shoot your big day!
Wowsers….look at that light! Lovely,natural photos Han 
What a beautiful set of images, these are so romantic, great work, Steve & Sandra.
I’ve been doing a lot of work over the last year or so with the brilliant Erica Stacey who designs stunning bespoke bridal dresses.
Heather designed and made her wedding dress with Erica, but didn’t have a professional photographer at her wedding so when she and Erica asked me if I fancied doing a post-wedding shoot I jumped at the chance!
Heather chose her grandparent’s garden for the shoot…but this is no ordinary garden! It’s full of little hidey holes, streams, bridges…it’s so good they regularly give tours of it!
So here are Heather and Max, all dressed up again in their wedding finery…how gorgeous is Heather’s dress? And how ace is her tattoo?!!
Max’s rather dapper suit comes from bespoke tailors A Suit That Fits and his buttonhole and Heather’s bouquet are by the genius that is Laura at Laurel Weddings.
I’ve gone from hardly posting a blog at all to not being able to cut down on my images when I’m posting…I think it’s when you get on so well with a couple and are such a part of their wedding day it becomes really, really hard to whittle down your favourites. Still, I’m not going to apologise too much…you visited this blog to look at photos, right?!
So Jay and Tor…cool as! They have great taste in music, Jay plays in an awesome band, The Kickstones (check out the last load of images to see him in action – email me if you’re looking for a wedding band and I’ll pass Jay’s contact details on) and how beautiful is Tor’s dress?!
Let’s not witter on anymore…here are a load of my highlights from their wedding at Soulton Hall, Shropshire.
This was my first wedding at Hyde Bank Farm, and Kat and James chose a near perfect day for it! Blue skies and sunshine…not bad for an English summer!
Kat had spent months putting together all the details for the day, sourcing old books, hunting for teasets and creating all the centrepieces, you can tell she’s a designer can’t you!
Here are my highlights…keep an eye out for Kat’s dad, who just happens to be a drummer in the wedding band as well as being on Father of the Bride duties…
Love the shot of the bride & groom with the pony, such stunning shots, Steve & Sandra.
