On Saturday 7th Jan I covered my first wedding of 2012 which is going to be another busy and exciting year.

It was the wedding of Hannah & Ben who were married at St Stephens Church in Bodfari with the reception at Soughton Hall Hotel in North Wales.  Both are beautiful venues and despite being January the weather wasn’t too bad.  It was a pleasure to cover the wedding and to catch up with some of my previous brides & grooms who are friends of Hannah & Ben.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Kelly, wishing you many years of happiness together.

Thanks to Kayte of ImagesbyKayte for her help as my assistant/second photographer.

Many congratulations to everyone who was married in 2011 and to those who’ll be tying the knot in 2012.

I’d like to thank all the brides and grooms I had the pleasure of working with during 2011.  I truly love my job as it enables me to express my creativity and do what I really enjoy whilst also providing people with memories they can treasure forever.

I am really looking forward to 2012 which is already fully booked. There will be some amazing weddings to look forward to and every wedding I work at gives me the opportunity to create new and unique imagery.

I am taking bookings for 2013 onwards and dates can go quickly so please don’t delay in contacting me should you like my style and want me to cover your wedding.

I’ve really struggled this year trying to choose my favourite images.  From the many thousands of images I managed to choose 160 which meant I had to create two slideshows this year

The videos below show a small selection of images during the weddings I covered in 2011.   These images reflect my style of wedding photography in that whilst many are creative, I also enjoy capturing those candid moments which contain the many emotions visible during a wedding.

My aim at every wedding is to provide a record of the day in the form of creative & candid imagery to enable you to relive your wedding story time and again.

If the videos are slow to load, try watching at a lower resolution.  Please enjoy

Also, special thanks to my assistant Kayte of Imagesbykayte who does a great job and who is in the videos as I covered her wedding in 2011.

On Thursday 29th December I covered the wedding of Lisa & Ged whose wedding and reception took place at Thornton Hall Hotel, Thornton Hough, Wirral. This was my last wedding of a fantastic and busy 2011 and despite it being a very windy and cold day it was a beautiful wedding.

I’ve still got a few more blog posts from previous 2011 weddings to catch up on and then I’ll be creating a slideshow of my favourite images from 2011 so keep checking back

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Buckley, wishing you many years of happiness together.

One of my favourite places to work is Chester Zoo.  It may at first be considered an unusual wedding venue but once you’ve visited Oakfield Manor House and taken in the surroundings it really is a beautiful wedding venue.  All the staff work really hard to ensure your wedding day is perfect, especially Jane and Ian.  Having married my wife there in 2005 I have first hand experience of what a wonderful wedding venue it is

Here is a short video of some of the wedding images I’ve created at Chester Zoo.

If you are interested in booking Oakfield Manor for your wedding, you can contact the events team on 01244 650209 or Email them at events@chesterzoo.org.

I’m really looking forward to shooting the weddings of Carrie & Stephen, Rebecca & Adam and Emma & Andrew there during 2012.

On Satuday 5th November I covered the wedding of Hannah & Stuart who were married at St Marys Church in Eastham with the reception at Thornton Hall Hotel, Thornton Hough, Wirral.

Congratulations and wishing you many years of happiness together.
