Cheshire Wedding Photographer – Heesom Photography

This is the wedding, that I was a last minute subsitute on. A good friend needed an operation a few days before the wedding. So I stepped in to fulfill his contract for him. That is why it is incredibly usefull to have a good network of photographers around you.

I started the day with Kay, whislt she was getting ready, with her sister Jane, and Jane’s daughter Grace. Kay was super giddy, and happy – not a sign of nerves anywhere to be seen. I’d been hearing rumours about this wedding for a while, as I know Jane, so I was looking forward to seeing the wedding shoes (not in the fetish way you’re thinking). CONVERSE!!! How frickin’ cool!

Kay’s workplace sent up some gifts, 3 bottles of champagne…..Kay was VERY happy with these, in fact she told us not to tell Pete…..oops.

I then headed off to the Best Man’s house for some shots of the guys getting ready, and another cool thing going on, with some Super Hero t-shirts. I was having a good time already, and we were only just beginning.

The wedding was at Runcorn Town Hall, we’re very lucky to have a beautiful building like this here. The guests were arriving, the weather was really kind to them too.

The ceremony was filled with laughter, as Kay just couldn’t stop, well she could for the first kiss. Afterwards, we took some time for pictures, before heading over to Runcorn War Memorial Club “The Warmy” for some food, drink and a good ole knees up.

I hope you love the pics guys. Enjoy.

Nervous? Nope

It’s ok, Pete neither.

I still love the first time Brides and Grooms see each other.

Did I mention, Kay laughed during the ceremony

She still smiling here.

There are some cool pieces of art in the Town Hall, Runcorn, Cheshire

Outside, throwing Confetti

Shoes, ok ok, I may have a problem.

I love this one.

Our Beautiful Bride

This shot makes me smile.

I was enjoying our late bloom of sunshine, and thought I should include it in a shot.

Pete likes the statue, but couldn’t quite figure it out.

The Happy Couple.

They braved the autumn chill, to enjoy a drive with the top down.

Kay made the cake topper herself, and as people say Pete has a big head, she gave him a big head.

The corner of remembrance, including Kays mum, her grandparents, and her Cat.

Going all Gansta!!!

The speeches were not kind to Pete, but he took it VERY well.

Kay found it all rather amusing.

Petes speech included a poem, which began  Your name is Kay, which rhymes with Gay, which is what everyone thought I was….it was a top top poem.

The evening came, and the dancers came out in force.

I remember when I was that age, dancing was either just swaying side to side, or trying to be Michael Jackson style moonwalk/thriller

First Dance.

My last wedding in September, was actually meant to be my last wedding of the year, due to cancellations (but I eneded up standing in for a friend – full post coming soon), I was really looking forward to this one, as it was for a couple who saw me at another wedding. We then met up, hit it off and arranged for me to shoot their wedding, 1 year and 1 day to the day of the wedding they met me at…cool eh!

I started off at a little farm house in rural Cheshire, with all the girls….I love how chaotic every brides house is on the morning of the wedding, make up and clothes every where, people running round with drinks, curlers, eye lashes…you name it. I imagine this is what getting ready for a good night out is like, only with an earlier start.

I captured the goings on here, and had a good laugh stalking bridesmaids who didn’t want any pictures taken before being made up!

Outside and Genna was being driven in a Convertible VW Beetle drove by Andy, yes as in Ali and Andy!

From the cottage, we headed over to Pryors Hayes where Genna had set up the the room, to perfection….well it is her job after all. Even with a translator for Phils family, to help them chat to Gen’s more northern family

The ceremony was wonderful, and very Genna and Phil along with Jasmine their daughter. Even a little rain wouldn’t stop the guests staying outside, though it didn’t last long.

After the ceremony, we had the formals we had the speeches and then whilst people where waiting for the food to be ready, Genna, Phil, Jasmine and I headed off for some photo time. Carrie from Pryors Hayes drove me whilst Phil drove the other cart. Carrie also acted as a wonderful Child Minder for Jasmine, who was more than happy to stay cuddled into Carrie.

I was then time to head back and party with the guests, have a first dance, and a birthday cake for Phil’s sister Jess.

Oh and not that I ever go out to upset anyone, especially not my couples, but after reading one of the order of services, I made a note not to even possibly upset this couple, as they’d trained with Monks over in Asia, Phil is a Martial Arts Insrtuctor, and Genna has won a couple of medals….gulp!! I really hope you like these then

A couple of weeks back, I had the honour to help a friend out. He was due to photograph a wedding, but a few days before ended up in hospital in need of some surgery on his leg. This is exactly the reason why we have a network of photographers that we’re close to, and it’s nice to have some fellow geeks to chat to. So I stepped up, and honoured his agreement, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Kay and Pete are a wonderful couple, and great fun to be around.

Here is a sneak from their wedding.
