GOLDEN AUTUMNAL GROSVENOR PULFORD WEDDING

We started this wedding year back in January at Grosvenor Pulford so it was wonderful to be back towards the end of the year for James and Amy’s fabulous golden autumn wedding here.

The setting in the GrosvenorĀ  Suite truly magical with the autumn trees setting the scene and used to decorate the wedding reception later in the day too
Our dapper groom, Bestman, and two sons in dark green suits complimented the colour scheme perfectly.
Amy was being pampered by Samantha Gannon and Gemma Baxter and enjoying the preps with her girls before the ceremony
Amy looked so elegant in her Whirte Closset bridal dress, altered by Neil the Alteration doctor

The whole day just flowed perfectly and the weather played nicely with dry spells for the groups and portraits around the wonderful grounds and spa garden
Plenty of time for guests to mingle and enjoy the day.Ā  The sparkler fun kicked the evening reception off to a great start

A fabulous enjoyable day for everyone.Ā  Thank you Amy and James for letting us share and capture your magical day
Wishing you many years of happiness

BONFIRE NIGHT WEDDING MOTTRAM HALL

Our first visit to the luxury Cheshire wedding venueĀ  Mottram Hall for the wedding of Taylor and James.
What a delight it was too, even just forĀ  a few hours – one of our popular mico wedding packages

We first met Taylor on a Zoom call sorting out our bank accounts and insuranceS.
yes our bank account manager halving our home insurance bill too and a free Doce Gusto machine thrown in too
So glad we could capture some gorgeous salient images of their day.

It was a bit ofĀ  a wet day but Mottram Hall has beautiful inside spaces too
Just in time for pre-ceremony to see Taylor getting in her dress whilst the men were downstairs having some groom shots
The ceremony room was dressed amazingly, absolutely gorgeous – never seen so many candles!
The heart petals at the front are a trademark of the venue dressers Lasting Memories Wedding and Events

After the ceremony guests had drinks and canapes in the marquee and were entertained by a magician.
Guests mingled and we grabbed a few family groups and bride and group portraits
Plenty of time to mingle whileĀ  the ceremony was turned around for the wedding breakfast – again looked so decadent and luxurious with the flowers and candles
It was a lovely few hours and Taylor and James we wish you much happiness and health in the years to come.

Doubletree by Hilton Chester Autumn Wedding

Gorgeous Burgundy sparkly themed autumn Chester wedding

A long-awaited Doubletree by Hilton Chester wedding of Abbie and Scott for Pixsmiths just last month.
When your sister is sparkly queen Vikki of Wirral Weddings and a much sought after venue dresser – Sapphire Bespoke Events –
you know the venue will look amazing.Ā  She certainly didn’t disappoint.Ā  The staff at Doubletree Hilton also remarked how fabulous it looked.
The changes for the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the evening were perfectly coordinated.

Not only dressed the venue – and matched the dĆ©cor with her bridesmaid’s dress but being in the wedding industry knew the right suppliers for her sister.
Pixsmiths were honoured to be asked along with all the other amazing suppliers who contributed to this wonderful wedding day.
Unbeknownst to Abbie, Scott had been poorly in hospital early hours of the morning.Ā  Being so unselfish though he didn’t want to worry his bride.
When we found out we just said, take things at your own pace, rest if necessary.Ā  We always let our couple drive the day and not us.
You really wouldn’t know it from the pics though the story behind the day.Ā  Abbie and Scott, you just beamed all dayĀ  xx
Enjoy your highlights x

Likewise, the bridesmaids and flower girl were equally impressed.
Soon it was time to head down for the ceremony to a waiting Scott.

We did have a bit of a downpour but Doubletree Hilton Chester has good options for groups indoors in its light and airy conservatory.
The boardwalk by the lake and the fountain was far too slippery to risk walking on.
However, we did have a tiny window of dry weather and some blue skies so we grabbed a few outdoor portraits and you can see how happy Abbie and Scott were.
Plus the rain provided puddles for reflections!

Kings Church Wedding: Danielle & Dennis

Kings Church Wedding: Danielle & Dennis

Kings Church Birkenhead Wedding

Ā Brazilian and Welsh fusion feast of a wedding

Oh DanielleĀ  and Dennis what a glorious day and time we had with you at your Kings Church Wedding we loved every second!
Your welcoming home church where you worship.Ā  Such warm hearted people and church family to support you
The church was transformed by the Wedding Collection from Moreton and your personal touches
Their order of service was a clever fusion of the colours of their national flags morphed onto their figures.
A beautiful violinist played prior to the ceremony which was filled with heartfelt worship songs and a special message
Emotions running high, Dannielle, trembling as she bravely walked down the aisle by herself (her family in brazil) to her waiting Dennis
Such looks of love and prideĀ  you gave each other, made our hearts swell too!

From the moment we met we warmed to each other and was evidentĀ  their pictures were very important to them.Ā  Definitely our type of couple!
They deliberately chose an early ceremony on our advice for the time of year to give plenty of time for their pictures without rushing yet still being with friends.
Time to mingle with their guests and enjoy a finger buffet and cake and sweets – very important in Brazilian customs!Ā  before we left for Port Sunlight
The beautifully package favours of BEMN-CASADO represent the sweet union, sealed with love and mutual respect. According to BrazilianĀ  custom it has magical powers.
Every guest who tastes a BEM-CASADO will be blessed with the same happiness as the newly weds…just have to make a wish before the first bite.

They wanted to factor a good time in good light for their portraits in Port Sunlight so we had a good 2 hours to hop around to several locations
The tin cans rattling behind on Denni’s car told of their joy on their wedding date and fusion of their Brazilian and Welsh nationalities
Onto the Village Hotel Bromborough to rejoin with their guests for evening dancing and more cake!
A wonderful day of celebration of the marriage of such a warm hearted loving couple.
Danielle and Dennis we wish you much joy in this new chapter of your love story.
We trust these images will provide you with lasting memories.Ā  Sandy & Dave xx

Glorious Autumn Inglewood Manor Wedding Photographer

Weddings any time of year are special but an Autumn Inglewood Manor Weddings are extra special.
I know not supposed to have favourites …but just can’t resist.

It’s a gorgeous country house venue set in beautiful gardens and with attentive staff. Perfect for a wonderful wedding at Inglewood Manor.
When Chellsi and David announced their engagement there was a whoop of delight from us – we had met this couple before at previous weddings whereĀ  Chellsi was Bridesmaid
..and an even bigger cheer they asked us to cover their wedding at Inglewood Manor.Ā  We were available, it was a done deal!

Chellsi and David have been together for a few years, and have travelled widely so was no surprise to see an announcement when on holiday earlier this year.
We got to know them better on a pre-wed shoot in Ashton Park in West Kirby.Ā  Their joy and sense of fun were infectious, we knew we were in for a good day at their wedding whatever the weather
Their images from the shoot made a beautiful keepsake guest signing book, popular with our couples

Wedding Day Preps Inglewood Manor

Well, the day dawned clear and bright. Chellsi got ready at Inglewood Manor with her besties and cute flower girls
Her dress from Cherish the Bride was gorgeous and long! …took some getting down from its lofty perch but we managed
Was really happy could stay with the girls and get a lift to the church later whilst Dave went ahead
means can get so many more images – the girls loved their bracelets gifts
Plenty of time to get some shots with all the girls and get some sweeping shots of Chelsi on the stairs

St Paul’s Hooton Church Ceremony

We had photographed at St Paul’s, this gorgeous Italianate church before.Ā  Layered brickwork like a wedding cake, a lovely church to photograph in.
heartfelt readings and Sing Me Merseyside Choir added that personal touch to the ceremony too
It’s rare a church will do weddings on a Sunday – had to check a few times we had the date right! ..but St Paul’s do after their Sunday service
Chellsi was proudly led to her waiting groom by her mum,Ā  a stunning entrance she made
Sunshine was out so it was groups at the church so everyone could enjoy themselves at Inglewood Manor.
The wedding cars did a couple of trips which meant the newlyweds had a few precious minutes all to themselves, not even us around
Take time for these minutes brides …they are a rarity on your wedding day. so glad Chellsi and David had these moments together

Wedding at Inglewood Manor Wedding Reception

So we arrived at Inglewood Manor and made the most of the autumn colours,Ā  the trees had a glorious golden colour
Taking some time with some portraits as we knew it would be dark by the end of the meal.
The speeches were brilliant, Chellsi’s sister making an emotional speech, the best man with his well-timed quips – it was laughter all around
The merriment continued into the evening dancing, with Frank Keating on hand to keep everyone in the loop and provide his Mr and Mrs game
Sparklers rounded off a perfect evening – pitch black by then but we got the shots!

Many congratulations Chellsi and David on your autumn Inglewood Manor wedding.
It was truly a privilege to be with you and wish you many more years of joy and health
love Sandy & Dave xx

Jemma and Daniel’s Liverpool WeddingĀ 


ooh it had been a while since we met Jemma and Daniel to discuss their Liverpool wedding photography
We chatted about their plans and loved the story of how Daniel proposed with the help of their adorable twin girls
Rowing boat trip in the lake district and Daniel asks Jemma to get something out ofĀ a bag.Ā  T-shirt from the twins saying “Mummy will you marry Daddy“?
How cute was that!Ā  Well of course Jemma said yes!Ā Ā  and so they started to plan their day

Liverpool Wedding Preps

Jemma and Daniel were getting ready around the comer from each other so it was easy to cover both bride and groom preps
Jemma’s at her mum’s room was the busier with a total of 10 bridesmaids and flower girls so it kept us occupied!
Jemma was super organised and already had hair and makeup done when we arrived some 3 hours before the ceremonyĀ  Still lots of details and candids to capture before they left for the church
it was great to chat with the girls and to get to know them ahead of the day

Bridal prep details

 

Liverpool Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony took place at the renowned St Peter’s in Woolton.Ā  many visit here for the grave of Eleanor Rigby of Beatles fame
and also the resting place ofĀ  Bob Paisley, former Liverpool Football club manager. In fact one of his sons is the verger at St Peter’s
Today was all about celebrating a wedding though and we loved the banner greeting everyone as they entered this beautiful church
Delighted to be able to capture the reactions from in front and behind at this church
Jemma looked stunning in her dress with its gorgeous lace sleeve detail and all those bridesmaids supporting her
Daniel got to twirl in front of the guests in his dapper blue suit before Jemma entered
Emotional singing by one of the bridesmaids during the signing of the register, think a few tears were shed
Soon all the guests were spilling outside to enjoy the sunshine.
few formal groups done and confetti exit to the reception

Liverpool Wedding Reception – Devonshire House

The reception was taking place at the Devonshire House Hotel on Edge Lane
on the way we made the short stop to Reynolds Park – just a few mins from the church
A favourite place of Jemma and Daniels and the sunken garden and walled garden were perfect for some timeĀ  for them to relax from the guests
and to capture some gorgeous relaxed portraits for them.
The Devonshire House was a good option to have the large group shot so with the kind assistance of Les McGrath all the guests went outside for a quick pic
The room had lots of ambience with its purple/pink up lighting.Ā  Jemma and Daniel looked like Royalty on their top table thrones too!
Fish and chips before the speeches and an Chinese buffet for after the dance wen down really well
Well entertained with the band too – everyone had a great time on the dance floor

Thank you Jemma and Daniel for asking us to capture your day – glad it was everything you wanted and we enjoyed being with you and your guests
wishing you much happiness and loveĀ  Sandy & Dave xx
