Another scorcher !!! It sooo makes our job easier when we don’t have to worry about the weather.
I met Siobhan at the house and was greeted by a very peaceful scene. All seemed under control and running to time.
Our Lady of Lourdes, Farnworth was the setting for the service and when I turned up the guys were ready to go. Martin didn’t seem nervous at all until Siobhan arrived in the car. It always seems to be this point when the grooms face changes !!!
It was a lovely service and we all then set off for The Last Drop Village in Bromley Cross. They had selected a room called the Demdyke suite which looked stunning and was the perfect room for their wedding breakfast,
I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did and ill see you next week !!

Another sunny day !!! Its almost like we are having a summer this year !!
A glorious day greeted us for Martin and Samantha’s wedding at St Marys Church in Prestwich. For those of you who don’t know this church its the one used in all the Coronation Street episodes. Its a stunning church and even better for the men there is a pub almost next door, shame it was closed though !!
We met the Samantha in the The Green Quarter in Manchester and spent some time with her and her bridesmaids. Ive got to say they were a lovely bunch !! After that we met up with Martin and his ushers etc. at the church. After the service Martin had a very special surprise for Sam, he had arranged for them to release 2 white doves. Luckily we managed to get a couple of shots of them before they disappeared over the horizon. After some time at the church photographing the guests we all went to The Orangery at Heaton Park, it was great to have such a nice day so the guests could get a drink and soak up some of the sunshine.
Martin and Sam, I’m sure you had a fantastic evening reception and I hope you have a great time Gran Canaria. See you soon !!

The Red Hall, Ramsbottom was the venue for Lee & Rachel’s wedding on the 5th of June. I’m getting a bit sick of saying this but it was another glorious day for a wedding and the main worry of the day was trying to keep people out of the very very bright sun.
The Red Hall always do a fantastic job of looking after their guests and today was no different. After finishing the family pictures we took Lee & Rachel to a local park for some time on their own and for the opportunity for us to get some personal shots of them.
I hope you both have a great break in Jamaca and ill see you in a couple of weeks !!

I love my local weddings and it doesn’t come much more local than Clair & Paul’s wedding on the 5th June 2010. We started at the lovely St Paul’s Church in the center of Ramsbottom, the weather was glorious (Again !!) and I started the photography at Claire’s parents house. Its great to knock on the door and see loads of familiar friendly faces (This is the second family wedding I have done). Everything was calm at the house and the same could be said for the guys when we met at the church later. I must make a point of thanking all the people at St Paul’s church, as photographers we are often treated as an inconvienience but I have to say its so nice when you are greeted with “Do what you like as long as you dont get in the way” so a big thankyou to St Pauls !!.
After the service we went to the Last Drop Village in Bolton and had a great time with Paul & Claire and their guests.
I hope you enjoy your honeymoon in Spain and see you when you get back !!!

Crabwall Manor is situated in beautiful, peaceful grounds on the outskirts of the historic city of Chester and was the venue for Paul & Claires wedding on the 2nd May. This wedding really brought back memories for me as the last time I visited this venue it was one of my first weddings ever. We were lucky with the weather again and we arrived in glorious sunshine and met the guys on the front lawn. Paul was totally relaxed and I took the pictures of him and his best man and best woman !! (It was his sister). The whole day went perfectly and all the guests had a fantastic time and we left as the sun was setting. I hope you have a great time in Florida.

The Last Drop Village Bolton was the setting for Adam & Ruth’s wedding on the 1st May. Luckily the weather has been kind to us recently and we were greeted with a glorious sunny day. I met Ruth in her room and was surprised to find how calm and peaceful it all was and to my surprise that didn’t change throughout the day. A sunny day definitely transforms a wedding and this was no exception. I t was lovely to see guests eating canapés on the lawn enjoying a glass of champagne. A lovely day was had by all and the Last Drop Village looked after us as usual. I hope the honeymoon in Jamaca was equally relaxing and see you when you come home.

2010 Women of The North
May 7, 2010 by Martin · Leave a Comment
Stirk House was the venue for this years Women of The North Luncheon. Its great to meet people who I have had the pleasure of photographing for a number of years now.
The Women of the North Luncheon is a social gathering aiming to bring together women from all walks of life – women who have contributed to the well being of society, or are outstanding in their own field.
The Luncheon has evolved into a prestigious occasion. Now attended by 300 women, with the added objective of raising money for chosen charities, it is a memorable event on guests’ calendars. The Women of the North Luncheon has raised thousands of pounds through the generosity of guests and in the individuals or companies who advertise in the souvenir brochure and donate gifts.
