Cheshire Wedding Photography, Engagement Shoot: Kathryn and Gary

Wowsers, this shoot feels like it was a month of so ago, not just over a week.

Gary, who is a pretty good photographer, Kathryn and I headed off to Tatton Park, in the heart of Cheshire for their engagement shoot. We wasted no time and headed straight into the gardens there, and they are pretty fantastic….we were a little concerned about getting into Tatton itself as there was a classic car show all weekend, so we decided to wait until the afternoon before heading there. We wandered round taking some pictures, and we stumbled across this cool tower with some ivy growing on it…..awesome much!!!!

Gary brought his camera along, to get a shot for the 365 (a shot every day for a year) he is doing to count down to his wedding. Check out his 365 from the eshoot here. Don’t forget to check out his other shots. Gary says he felt a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, but I reckon he done alright. Kathryn, has little choice but to act naturally infront of the camera, as she is Garys chosen model most of the time, and she does it very well too.

I must admit, photographing a photographer does make you a little paranoid, what are they thinking? Not just the usual, I hope my couples love my work, but the whole technical side of it too. Thankfully, Gary is nice and laid back so we get along great.

I really loved shooting at Tatton, and I hope to get back there with other couples in the future, I am really looking forward to shoot Kathryn and Gary’s wedding in November, it’s going to be awesome, I just know it…..even with the load of photographers coming along as guests watching my every move;)

North Wales Wedding Photography: Ian and Susan

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Ian and Susan. This was kind of a late booking, and I only got to meet them the Thursday before the wedding, when I drove down to see them at their wonderful home (you’ll see a picture below-the first image is their home). I already knew that I would get along well with Ian, having spoken to him on the phone a couple of times, so it was no surprise that we were laughing within minutes of meeting, and the same thing happened with Susan….these guys are a great couple.

Traffic was very kind on the day, and we (oh yes!!! we I had two very able assistants with me..TWO..I KNOW!!! Rob and Simon) popped in to see Ian getting prepared at home. It was so very easy to photograph Ian and his groomsmen as everyone was so laid back, and fun.

Then we drove down to the church, for a couple of shots before I nipped round the corner to check in on Susan, things were going well and Susan was pretty much ready. We then took a couple of minutes to grab some photographs in her parents back garden.

Back round the corner to the church, and everyone was ready to go, the church we were at is the church Susan goes to, St George’s, Rhos on Sea, what a beautiful church. The ceremony went well, with Ian and Susans friends taking a role throughout, one played the church organ, another sang a solo whilst they were signing the register.

Once outside we had to hold back the youngest bridesmaid with confetti until we got everyone out of the church, once we had the formal shots done, we got a bit of time with Ian and Susan, a few shots at the church, including a couple with a special friend of Ian’s who goes everwhere with him (even when he proposed), then over to the wonderful Bodysgallen Hall in Llandudno, I could easily spend a day shooting there and still want to shoot more, sadly we didn’t have a day. We made the most of the time we did have, and we got some awesome shots…just as we arrived in the gardens, Ian got down on one knee again, to kiss his brides hand…awesome!

We left shortly after, just as the new Mr & Mrs Ian Burton were sitting down to there first meal as husband and wife. I’d like to thank Rob and Simon for coming along, it’s great to allow people the chance to come along on occasion to help them learn wedding photography…and these guys are doing great.

I also have to thank Ian and Susan, thank you for such a wonderful day, you guys are awesome. Anyway on with the pictures.
