RAIN RAIN and more RAIN !!!
Holcombe Emmanuel and Mitton Hall were the venues for Mark & Shelley’s wedding. I met Shelley and the girls at her house and all was calm apart from Shelley worrying that her dress was going to smell of the bacon butties they were all eating
Nothing had changed when I arrived at Holcombe Emmanuel Church in Ramsbottom. The rain was now bouncing off the road but we didn’t let it stop us doing the pictures of the guys, we just did them in the rain….
Once Shelley arrived the rain had stopped and we got some lovely shots with her and all her bridesmaids. The service was lovely and when we came out of church it was a summers day again !! All the families looked like they were having a great time and we got loads of shots at the church.
I’ve got to say Mitton Hall is one of my favourite venues and the staff are always willing to help wherever they can. We had a great time at the venue and as I left it looked like the rest of the day was going to be a blast.
Have a great time in Mexico and see you soon.

When Anthony & Lucy booked their wedding with me I was already booked for their day so Sue was to do their wedding pictures. What I didn’t know at the time was my wedding was so early that I was finished and was able to get over to Walshaw to help with most of their wedding pictures too.
St Osmunds Church, Breightmet was the setting for the wedding service and then a short drive to The Bolholt Hotel in Walshaw when most of the pictures were to be taken. Everybody was having a great time in the sun and this included Sadie & Alfie who never stopped for a moment. With 77 guests its nice that we can spend time and almost get to know everybody during the wedding day.
As we left the Bolholt Hotel the reception was in full swing and it looked like a good time was going to be had by all.
Have a great break and see you soon.

Sometimes you are just in the right place at the right time.
Simon & Donnas wedding was at St Mary’s Parish Church in Radcliffe, a church I do a couple of weddings at every year so not a place I would normally go and look at before a wedding. My son Jack was playing football at the park next to the church so i thought I would go and have a refresher. To my amazement I was greeted with something new – the church had been covered with scaffolding !!! All round the front door were metal barriers and big yellow signs saying “Danger of falling debris”
I was straight onto the phone to Donna and we concocted a new “Plan B”. Luckily the church has some nice gardens behind and in front so we were able to do all the pictures hiding the construction site !!
We were lucky and unlucky at the same time – we were unlucky that 2 pictures into the family groups the rain started, i made the decision that we would retire to the church so we all made a run for cover. As we got to the church the rain seemed to lessen so I made the quite unpopular choice to drag all the guests back into the drizzle to try and get the pictures we wanted. luckily the rain stopped and we completed all the pictures in the dry.
We all then went to The Red Hall in Ramsbottom, my 3rd wedding there in 2 weeks !! The venue looked superb as usual and the wedding breakfast room looked immaculate.
Good luck Simon & Donna and give me a bell when you get back from Antigua

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 !!
