Hannah & Phil's wedding photography

Firstly and foremostly I have to thank Nev for getting me to this wedding. Cornwall to Warrington is a long way by anyone's standards but setting off at 7.30 at night after photographing a wedding wasn't a journey for the faint-hearted. And then, as you other wedding photographers know, there is the crucial task of backing up photographs, clearing memory cards, charging batteries....not to mention the small issue of sleep.

Ah....the ideal solution....employ a driver (well maybe not actually pay him!). He drove, I backed-upm wedding photographs, then I slept and we finally arrived 'up North' at 2am in the morning. The next morning I was a bright eyed and bushy-tailed wedding photographer and ready to start again....I couldn't have done it without him!

Hannah and Phil's wedding was not only another fabulous wedding in another beautiful location with a lovely couple to photograph but an excellent chance to catch up with old friends. Hannah and Phil had seen me 'in action' in the Pump Rooms in Bath as I was the wedding photographer for her sister, Emily. So when the time came for them to tie the knot I was their first choice of photographer (phew!).

They chose the Fir Grove Hotel near Warrington to host both their wedding ceremony and wedding reception. Decorated in a contemporary, boutique fashion with the option to tie the knot in the open air it was a perfect setting for a wedding photographer!

Hannah had really gone to town on the flowers for the wedding and had opted for contrasting colours......it was very dramatic and very beautiful.

It seems that Hannah has 'bagsied' herself a good one too. When I arrived at the house in the morning to photograph her and her bridesmaids getting ready she was almost bursting with excitement. Knowing that she is always late, Phil had secretly sneaked a wedding present of a watch (set 10 mintues fast!!) into the house. And not just any watch. A Gucci watch! I just had to photograph it!

It was a stunning day, with lots of vibrant colours, a beautiful backdrop and lots of lovely people.

Can you guess what it is yet?!?

How's that for thoughtfulness.....

The man himself.....

Hannah had co-ordinated all the wedding flowers perfectly......

With exotic flowers in dramatic, contrasting colours......

The rain held of for the outdoor wedding ceremony....although the registrar looked slightly worried!

Beautiful bridesmaids......

Including Hannah's sister, Emily (I was her wedding photographer!)

Afterwards we nipped off for a few pictures of just the two of them....

He even helped with her wedding dress......this man is lovely!!

Hannah plays in a football team so we couldn't resist this photograph!!
