Happy New Year, welcome to the first post of 2012.
Kathryn & Andrews wedding was at the exclusive Mere Golf and Country Club near Knutsford. A great venue with lots of space and opportunities for some fab shots.
Most brides can look forward to a little something as a pre wedding gift before the wedding but Andrew took that ‘little something’ to a whole new level and presented Kathryn with a Mini Cooper, how cool is that!

Somebody was looking down on Reena & Shailen at their two day Indian wedding extravaganza beginning in Bradford and concluding at Tatton Park in Knutsford. They had the most perfect days of wall to wall sunshine this year I can remember.
Indian weddings are a mix of religious ceremonies and cultural traditions and no two Indian weddings are the same. Apart from the actual marital ceremony which can vary from Brahman to Brahman, every family will have their own traditions and rituals to perform pre and post wedding, if you are not acquainted with the culture it can be easy to miss something going on elsewhere.
Dispensing with the traditional Samosas & Onion Bhajis, Reena & Shailen went out on a limb and opted for Tea & Tarts, a perfect choice after the ceremony to lounge around in the gardens of Tatton Park before the evening reception.
With so many picture opportunities it’s difficult to show all of them but here are a few snippets to enjoy:

Stephen & Natalie’s beautiful wedding in Stockport was followed by a great reception at my all time favourite venue, Heaton House Farm near Macclesfield.
The day was topped by a spectacular surprise in the evening from Stephen’s fancy footwork, Will Smith eat your heart out this groom is well, funky!!!. Not only fancy dancing but the DJ’s lighting setup was fantastic too which really added to the atmosphere.
Here’s a lovely message from them both:
‘ Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on our wedding day. The pictures are stunning and we are so pleased with them. I hope we work together in the future!’

It’s been a bit of a funny year with regards to the weather, i’ve never known it to rain on so many weddings. Last season was a wet year, but at least the weddings that I can remember seemed to dodge the shower days.
Alistair & Samantha held their reception at Kilhey Court in Standish, a lovely little place with some great areas for photographs, even though we were dodging showers all day I think we still came away with some amazing images capturing a very natural and relaxed day.

Is it me or has this summer just been a washout?
Regardless, it never put a damper on Emma & Phil’s wedding. The beautiful Parish Church in Old Glossop was the venue for the ceremony and the reception was at Smokies, Best Western Hotel between Ashton Under Lyne and Oldham.
This wedding had two very unique connections for me which made it all the more significant, Emma (brilliant child-minder) looked after my daughter when she was at nursery and Smokies used to be my old stomping ground back in the day when I was a young whipper snapper!
Despite the rain, we managed to get some brilliant shots, here are a few snippets to enjoy:

What a soggy Saturday! Has summer already disappeared?
I did the engagement shoot for Heena & Vinay this weekend. Really well done to both of them for braving such a damp and miserable day, their images look fab and it’s really quite difficult from the images to see how damp Manchester can be.
Their Indian wedding has yet to happen later this year at Davenport Green, but they’ve already had their civil wedding which was quite lovely and have sent me this fantastic email:
“Dearest Kiran,
Vinay and I really wanted to drop you a quick email to say a massive thank you for doing such a fabulous job (against all adversity!) at our saagai and civil wedding on 7th March 2010. The cold weather and tight schedule didn’t dampen your spirits or your ability to take some amazing photos, which in turn has given us a lasting record of our perfect day. Vinay and I are delighted with the superb, creative, unique and sheer quantity of photos you took – it is most certainly going to be a difficult selection to make for our storybook album.
You really captured the day for us and have given us precious crystallised moments to cherish – certain things we didn’t even get a chance to see for ourselves on the day. We look forward to you covering our pre and post Indian wedding and Wedding Reception.
Much love and happy married smiles, Heena and Vinay”

Well, what can I say about Heaton House Farm. It’s a real farm alright, with proper real smelly cows and big tractors, but behind the facade of sheds is a hidden gem. A labyrinth of interconnected marquees, with first class onsite accommodation (oh, and an onsite brewery, how good is that 
). I am surprised I have never been here before but it is absolutely perfect for an Asian wedding.
The weather was funny on the day, hale stone one minute, sunshine the next, on and off throughout the day. However, we managed to dodge the hale for some spectacular images and because it’s set high on a hill, we had spectacular views and were treated to a glorious sunset.
Here are a few sneaky pix, enjoy!

A freezing cold day, but after a week of rain, somebody was looking down on Heena & Vinay because it was non stop sunshine all day. Davenport Green Hall is a fab wedding venue and is quirky and funky at the same time. These are pictures from the civil wedding which was preceded by a small religious ceremony in the morning, the indian wedding will be later in the year, held again at the same venue but in the specially built marquee which is perfect for huge stylee Indian weddings.
Enjoy!!
