Molly & Harry's stunning spring Temple of Minerva Bath wedding

Oh my gosh where to even begin with how fabulous Molly and Harry’s Temple of minerva wedding was! It was my first time ever visiting or shooting in Bath and it did not disappoint and I’m already planning a little weekend away. Spring was in bloom and everywhere was looking stunning in the beautiful (but cold) golden sunshine. The botanical gardens were full of blossoms and daffodils and it instantly made me smile when I walking around ahead of Molly and Harry’s wedding.

In the morning I headed over to see Molly, her bridesmaids and parents while they got ready and excited. Bubbles were poured and many laughs were had amongst everyone. It was the perfect relaxed and fun start to a wedding. I was completely obsessed with Molly’s stunning Ghost wedding dress, ruffled veil, freya rose block heels and where to even begin with my love for her headpiece!

Everyone dressed and glammed by Jen and Sam, I headed over to the Temple of Minerva situated in the botanical gardens, its the most dreamy location spot and florist Wren and May created the most gorgeous floral towers to frame Molly and Harry throughout their ceremony. Vows and rings exchanged it was time for a showering of confetti including a ginormous bag of dried petals that Molly’s grandparents had hand dried from their garden over the past 5 years! (That is dedication to the cause of confetti and I am all about it) A few tinnies, cupcakes and group shots later the guests piled onto a tour bus for a guided tour of Bath whilst Molly Harry and I walked through the botanical gardens and streets of Bath to get some portraits. The flowers and architecture mixed with the dreamiest sunlight had me so excited and these guys were total pros in front of the camera.

Once we arrived at the botanist guests gathered downstairs for 3 beautiful, emotional speeches delivered by Harry, father of the bride Neil and best man Matt before heading upstairs for a gorgeous meal. Everyone full and content it was back downstairs for an epic disco full of all the classics hit off with Molly and Harry’s first dance complete with confetti canons to legend Barry White You’re the first, the last, my everything- what a tune!

The most epic wedding and here’s just a few highlights, congratulations again Molly & Harry and thank you for having me along to document your day.

Catherine & Andy's wedding at York House, Twickenham

Let’s rewind to May last year when Catherine and Andy were married at York House. It was my first time visiting York House and fingers crossed not the last. A historic stately home in Twickenham surrounded by the most beautiful gardens along the edge of the river Thames it’s the perfect backdrop for beautiful portraits.

Their day was full of so many wonderful personal touches. Catherine is Australian and her bouquet, that was organised by friend Alyson, featured flowers native to Australia wrapped in lace from her grandmothers wedding dress. Alongside this she wore a beautiful opal necklace belonging to her mother.

Due to covid Catherine’s family dialled in via zoom to watch her brother walk her down the aisle before a gorgeous intimate ceremony.

Heading out into the glorious southern sun for a showering of confetti we made the most out of gardens and backdrop of the Thames with some family photos and portraits before everyone headed to the pub for a celebratory drink.

I absolutely LOVE sharing peoples intimate days. If you are getting married at York house or having your own intimate wedding drop me a message here. For now here is some highlights from Catherine and Andy’s gorgeous sunny day,

Rachel and Lee's intimate Oxwich bay wedding

I absolutely ADORE intimate weddings that break tradition and this is what perfectly describes Rachel and Lee’s day. Starting the day at the most beautiful holiday cottage tucked away in beautiful Swansea with a gorgeous coastal view it was the perfect backdrop for Rachel’s lace with grace dress.

Rachel and her bridal party spent the morning relaxing and getting ready before heading to The Beach house (the most beautiful restaurant sat right on the beach) for a personalised ceremony lead by bridesmaid Angharad. Post ceremony everyone headed outside for some champagne on the terrace overlooking the beach before heading in for an INCREDIBLE 5 course taster menu. A couple of hours and very full tummies later it was time for round one of speeches (the family friendly versions) before heading off to some of the most incredible views around the bay. I always love when couples take me to spaces they love and hidden gems and these were spots that made me so excited to have my camera in hand.

After spending time getting some portraits overlooking Oxwich bay we headed back to the holiday cottage for more food, champagne, round 2 of speeches (the x-rated versions) , a quick dress change and some dancing by the light of sparklers.

I’m such a firm believer in doing your day exactly as you want and ditching traditions and expectations you don’t want for your day and Rachel and Lee absolutely nailed this with their beautiful relaxed day by the sea.

Big thanks to Emily for coming along to second shoot with me and have a big sing along on the drive back north.

Best of 2021 blog

Where to even begin with 2021 - WHAT A WHIRLWIND!

Its taken me a good 2 weeks to process it all and finally feel ready to dive back in to what was a crazy year of weddings. 2021 took me all across the country with weddings spanning all the way from Scotland to Cornwall. It was a year of joy, laughter and so many heartfelt hugs.

The year that threw the wedding rule book out of the window and saw outdoor ceremonies, dancefloors and meals al fresco become the new norm. The height of the micro wedding and elopements becoming more of an option than ever. I absolutely adored the creative spirit embraced by each and every couple that allowed them to get married in spite of any obstacles they faced.

Whilst I could write a whole heap about each and every wedding I will save that for the next few weeks as I showcase so many amazing weddings for now here is a small look into an incredible year.

Once again a huge thank you to each and every couple who allowed me to document their day. To every photographer I worked with and to every person who has supported me throughout the past 12 months. I am as always eternally grateful to you all.

Much love

Frankie and Brad's West Tower wedding

I absolutely love shooting at West Tower in Ormskirk and was so excited to shoot there again for Frankie and Brad’s wedding.

Back when the weather was a lot warmer Frankie and Brad had a beautiful outdoor ceremony which was complemented perfectly by their pastel blue colour scheme. A confetti shower later everyone headed for a drinks reception on the lawn where guests were entertained with a magician- such an amazing addition to any wedding!

Following speeches and a yummy wedding breakfast we were treated to the most gorgeous sunset before heading in for an epic dancefloor

Kirsty and Jamie's Springkell wedding

Its not a recent wedding but ooooh is it a good one…Jamie and Kirsty were married at Springkell in Scotland which is just the most BEAUTIFUL venue. When I met Kirsty and Jamie before their wedding Jamie said to me everywhere is amazing you would struggle to take a bad picture there and oh boy was he right. From the minute I drove up the driveway I was super excited to shoot in the grounds.

Following their pre wedding shoot in Manchester which you can take a look at here. The wedding was filled with little nods to Manchester which I absolutely adored. The whole day was full of wonderful little touches like the ice cream van, model aeroplanes used for fun alternative group shots and cat Jurgen in cardboard cut out form. Finishing the day with an epic packed dance floor this was an AMAZING day from start to finish. Heres a few previews from the day.

Lauren & Chris' Mitton Hall wedding

Mitton Hall is defnitiely one of my favourite venues to shoot at filled with beautiful interiors and surrounded by masses of beautiful grounds in the heart of Ribble Valley- what’s not to love?! So I was really excited to return for Lauren and Chris’ big day.

After getting ready at their home Lauren and the girls set off to Mitton Hall in a beautiful campervan- swoon!

Lauren and Chris’ ceremony took place at Mitton Hall and was full of the biggest smiles and so much joy. Followed by a showering of confetti and some mingling on the terrace it was time to get the party started with DFC. Queue dance entrances, mid course sing alongs with napkins flying around above everyones heads and a round of Mr and Mrs… if you’re looking to get the party started and have a fun wedding breakfast then look no further than these guys!

Lauren, Chris and I slipped away to take in some of the breath taking gardens and views surrounding Mitton hall before heading back for drinking games, sunglasses and much more dancing.

What a day… take a look at a few highlights below.

Kirsty & Chris' Pilgrims Rest, Battle wedding

Where to begin with Kirsty and Chris’ stunner of a day! From the incredible venue heaped with history to the cosy decor and what to even say about the dress- GOALS!

Although based in Lancashire I am so lucky to have the opportunity to travel up and down the country and all over the world photographing beautiful weddings for amazing couples. I loved travelling down to Battle to photograph at this gorgeous venue.

I will forever be in love with Kirsty’s beautiful embroidered asos dress as well as not one but two pairs of irregular choice shoes… Wedding hack right there getting an awesome pair of heels and flats! With a morning of prep soundtracked to Disney I knew this wedding was going to be a bit of me and full of joy, love and happiness.

After an intimate ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest Kirsty, Chris and I headed into Battle to explore the village and get some beautiful portraits in the sunshine around Battle abbey.

Kirsty and Chris opted for a barbecue perfect for the sunny weather before kicking off the heels and starting their party as early as possible- my kind of wedding!

Here’s a little snippet of what their wedding looked like!

Jacob and Sophia's Broadoaks country house hotel wedding

Last summer, on what was set to be a very rainy day in August and made the journey from Lancashire up to the Lake District to the beautiful Broadoaks country house hotel for Jacob and Sophia’s wedding. It was my first time shooting at Broadoaks and I definitely hope it won’t be my last. I’m lucky enough to shoot lots of beautiful weddings in the Lake district every year and I was absolutely thrilled to be back again at Broadoaks country house hotel. Earlier in the year I had photographed Jacobs brother’s wedding in Blackpool which you can see here.

I absolutely loved Sophia’s beaming smile as she walked down the aisle towards Jacob and throughout the service. Despite the heavens opening and it raining for nearly the entirety of the day it was a beautiful day full of love - and proof that a little rain can never spoil your day and make for some epic portraits! In the mean time we made the most out of the beautiful rooms in Broadoaks for some intimate cosy portraits before heading through for the speeches and first dance.

Shellby & Ryan pre wedding shoot

Tomorrow is Shellby and Ryan’s wedding day at the beautiful White hart inn, Lydgate. Its such a gorgeous venue and one that I absolutely love returning to.

A couple of months ago we met for a walk, chat and a squeezed in some photos along the way. I love getting to know my couples throughout their wedding planning and getting to know all about their back story and plans for their big day on the pre wedding shoot.

Here’s a little bit of what we got up to…

Kirsty and Jamie pre wedding shoot in Manchester city centre

A couple of weeks ago I met with Kirsty and Jamie for their pre wedding shoot ahead of their wedding later this year. Having lived in the city centre and loving the architecture and history of the buildings they decided to walk around some iconic Manchester sites for their pre wedding shoot images.

After meeting at their flat and being infatuated with cat their Jurgen we headed out around Castlefield before heading over to Albert Square for some photos around the town hall and St Peters Square. It was great to meet up with Kirsty and Jamie once again ahead of their big day and squeeze in a few photos before heading for a drink and chatting over all things weddings.

What real couples have to say...

So by now I’m sure everyone will have seen I made regional finals for photographer of the year in The Wedding Industry Awards, something I was immensely proud of and as such plastered all over my social media- sorry not sorry!

The North West is full to the brim of AMAZING photographers so to be named amongst some of these was incredible. As part of the judging process couples from the previous year are asked to leave feedback and overall score of their service (with an overall score of 69.4 out of 70 I was over the moon!) Last night I read through all the lovely comments left by my couples on what really was the best year of weddings!

From the bottom of my heart I want to say a huge thank you to each and every couple that chooses me to document their day and for each couple who took the time out of their busy days to vote for me- THANK YOU, you’re the best!

So without further ado here’s what some previous couples have to say.

“I took a while choosing a photographer as I knew exactly what I wanted; someone to capture the love and happiness on the day without needing to pose for any photos! I knew Olivia was the right person straight away when she responded so positively to my email and I felt her enthusiasm. The photos we received were exactly what we wanted; natural, fun, expressive, colourful, emotive and just full of love. There wasn't an image that didn't make me smile and/or cry and relive every perfect moment!” 

Mr & Mrs Bristowe

“Olivia was absolutely amazing, she made us feel very at ease throughout the day and fitted in perfectly to our wedding. Olivia took some amazing natural photos which was exactly what we were looking for in a photography. I would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a photographer.”

Mr & Mrs Mapp

“Olivia was incredible from the day we met her! Our pre-wedding photo shoot was a beautiful day we will always treasure. Olivia took the time to get to know us, and teach us photography techniques that made our actual wedding day shoot fun and easy. Every single photo that Olivia took was flawless and she captured every element of our wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, and was always available on the phone or by email in the lead up to our big day. 5*! “

Mr & Mrs Latchayya

“Olivia was amazing from the onset. We didn’t want traditional line up wedding photos, we wanted her to capture our theme and the enjoyment of our guests in a very informal way. Olivia delivered this perfectly! Our wedding was Christmas themed including a surprise real life reindeer, even this didn’t phase her. We had some specific shots we also wanted her to capture and being the ultimate professional she didn’t disappoint. At time we forgot she was there, but have the photos to prove it”

Mrs & Mrs Fletcher Wilde

“Olivia was the most down-to-earth and relatable photographer!. We visited many wedding fayres and searched many social media accounts. Olivia visited us in our home, made us feel at ease chatting about herself, her cats and her career and discussed what we wanted from her on our big day. Olivia took on board what we wanted and advised what she thought would look/work well. It genuinely felt like we had a friend taking the photos, we laughed and shivered together in the cold December weather! “

Mr & Mrs Bennett

“Olivia felt like one of our wedding guests rather than our photographer on our special day. She instantly put us both at ease and created a bond from our pre-wedding photo shoot. Our guests commented on how hard she worked during our wedding and her professional mannerism. We were overwhelmed with the quality of our photographs when we received them”

Mr & Mrs Tobias Reid

“We choose Olivia because of her unobtrusive style and friendly laid back personality. We didn't want super formal pictures but we did want to capture the atmosphere and spirit of the day which Olivia did perfectly. Olivia put us completely at ease and was a reassuring sight at all times, snapping her way through our day and our evening - we couldn't believe she managed to capture as many happy moments as she did. “

Mr & Mrs Lawton

“I approached Olivia regarding our wedding photography after following her page for a number of years. I loved her documentary style and how she managed to capture all the individual points of our day. My husband and I felt anxious about having our photos taken but as soon as we met Olivia all nerves were gone. She made us and all of our guests feel at ease. Our photographs are absolutely amazing and there isn’t anything that I would change. Olivia’s true passion for her work really shows.”

Mr & Mrs Norman

“Olivia was discreet and charming. She captured our personalities as a couple and of the feel of the whole event. I couldn’t have wished for a better photographer. “

Mr & Mrs Whitworth-Foster

“Olivia was perfect from start to finish. She was so helpful in the run up to our big day, providing plenty of ideas when we weren’t sure about what we wanted. She helped us to feel so comfortable in front of the camera and all of our guests commented on how amazing she was on the day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful, we couldn’t have asked for anything more and they were presented in a beautiful glass box full of dried petals! We would definitely recommend Olivia to future couples. “

Mr & Mrs Reid

“Olivia is a fantastic photographer she is so friendly and professional. She made us feel at ease. We have just received are wedding photos and we both couldn’t be happier with them. Anything I asked Olivia was no trouble for her I would recommend her to anyone”

Mr & Mrs Taylor

“Olivia was amazing through our whole wedding experience, from the pre wedding shoot and on the big day! She was so approachable, always quick to respond to any queries and super supportive on the big day, helping to calm my nerves! We will cherish our wedding photo's forever, Olivia is an incredible photographer, we would highly recommend her! “

Mr & Mrs Lee

“We where so impressed with Olivia’s Photography Skills. She made us feel at ease and she was great with the guests. Our photos are perfect and help us to relive our day over and over again. We had a pre shoot and she made us feel comfortable and guided us through the whole thing from booking to receiving the photos. Our guests all commented on how they didn’t feel like they where constantly being disturbed for photos as all the photos where so natural! We recommend her to everyone. “

Mr & Mrs Makinson

“Absolutely incredible! Recommended to everyone we know.. my sister has booked Olivia for her wedding next year. Such a perfect day & the memories of it are even more amazing by having such incredible & beautiful photos to treasure”

Mr & Mrs Green

“Olivia captured our day perfectly! Her style fitted in with our festival wedding completely (she even brought along coloured smoke flares, which produced the most AMAZING photos). “

Mr & Mrs Cornell

“We were worried about picking the right photographer, as neither myself nor my husband like being in front of a camera. This wasn't a problem working with Olivia. An engagement shoot was included with the package so we could get to know each other before the day. She was incredibly personable, friendly and put us at ease. On the day Olivia was amazing! She was great with our guests and her style of photography meant she almost blended into the background. Our final photos are beautiful! “

Mr & Mrs White

“After seeing her work at my brother’s wedding, I knew that Olivia had to photograph our big day too. Olivia has been brilliant from the beginning. Everyone commented on the day how brilliant she was, Olivia was never in anyone’s face and photographs didn’t seem laborious as they often can at weddings. The photos are absolutely stunning, we are thrilled! “

Mr & Mrs Watkins

“We are over the moon with our photos that we have received from Olivia. She has completely blown us away with the finished product. We are extremely grateful to Olivia for capturing such special moments between our family and friends.”

Mr & Mrs Heritage

“Olivia was diligent in her work and constantly made me, my husband and guests feel comfortable on our big day. She listened to what we wanted and also suggested things that we may like that we hadn't thought about. The quality of her work is outstanding and we will be forever grateful for the special pictures we have to remember our special day. She always went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable including an engagement shoot so we all felt comfortable together on the day “

Mr & Mrs Clayton

“Olivia is phenomenal I can’t fathom the words to express how at ease she made me feel. Thank you so much! “

Mr & Mrs White

“From the offset Olivia was friendly and totally understood the style of photography Joe and I wanted for our wedding. Throughout the process Olivia was efficient and professional. Her attention to detail was excellent and all of the little touches was just perfect. She perfectly captured our day and we can't thank her enough for it"

Mr & Mrs Woolmer-Brennan

Stevie and Simon's wedding at Hyde Bank Farm

After their rainy pre wedding shoot I was keeping everything crossed for a fine weathered day for Simon and Stevie’s big day…. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Stevie and Simon were married at the beautiful Hyde Bank Farm near Stockport, a gorgeous exclusive use countryside venue dating back to 1655.

A snowy drive to meet Stevie and her bridesmaids at Magpie cottages for morning preparations and receiving a beautiful gift from Simon the girls spent the morning getting ready while the snow continued to fall with friends helping with hair and make up.

Surrounded by their closest family and friends in an intimate ceremony in the Ann Hyde Suite it’s the perfect venue for a rustic relaxed wedding.

A brief spout of blue skies were the perfect time for a few portraits quickly interrupted by the beast from the east making a very cold arrival. These guys were amazing and braved the sun, wind, rain and snow whilst cuddling up for their photos.

After settling in for the speeches it was time to head to the dance floor and pull out all the moves after cutting the cake beautifully made by Simon’s mum- what a day! Thank you so much to Simon and Stevie for choosing me to document their day and for braving every weather element that mother nature pulled out.

Best of 2018

2018 was bloody fabulous ! So many incredible weddings and couples who did their day their way!

Working in Lancashire and up and down the country heading down to Cornwall and up to Scotland I really did cover the lengths of the UK photographing weddings over the past 12 months. Over 50 weddings later and I’m itching for 2019 weddings to start so I can dive into more unique days.

From 3 day long festivals to intimate elopements no two weddings have been the same which is exactly why this year has been so amazing! To each and every couple who chose me to document their day THANK YOU! I’ve absolutely loved documenting every laugh, tear, hug and epic dance off.

I’ve worked alongside some insanely talented photographers this year and to all of you who have second shot for myself or invited me to shoot alongside you I cannot thank you enough, I’ve had an absolute blast!

2019 is shaping up to equally epic with weddings in Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales and even Sorrento…. BRING IT ON !

Here’s a tiny snippet of what I got up to in 2018- enjoy!

Happy New Year !

Jenny & Pete's pre wedding shoot at Fairy Glen

A few weeks ago I met with Jenny and Pete at Fairy Glen ahead of their Ashfield house wedding. As soon as Jenny suggested meeting in Fairy Glen I was super excited, if you haven’t been its such a beautiful spot!

We walked through fairy glen chatting all about their wedding plans. I love meeting couples prior to the wedding for a chance to get to know one another and squeeze in some photos.

Here’s a little bit of what we got up to …

Rachael and Jimmy's pre wedding shoot at The Plunge Edenfield

A couple of weeks ago I met with Rachael and Jimmy at The Plunge in Edenfield ahead of their Last drop village hotel wedding. I was extra excited for this one as they were bringing along their two dachshunds YAS! As the biggest dog lover and someone who grew up with dachshunds I was super excited.

We walked down by the water and through the trees chatting planning and all things weddings. I love meeting couples prior to the wedding for a chance to get to know one another and squeeze in some photos.

Emily and Ed's colourful wedding at The Old Grammar School Middleton

The Old Grammar School in Middleton is such a hidden gem tucked away just out of the centre of Middleton. Standing over 600 years old its full of character and charm whilst being super close to Manchester city centre. As a Lancashire wedding photographer I love having the opportunity to explore venues for the first time.

I first met Emily when I photographed her brother and sister in laws wedding 2 years ago and was absolutely thrilled when she got in touch to see if I was available to shoot her big day. 

The day started off nice and relaxed with the girls getting ready together at Emily's mums home surrounded by bridesmaids, with flower girls Poppy and Ada excitedly waiting upstairs jumping on the bed. I was super excited to see Emily’s “light up” shoes and colourful bouquet that she had previously told me about and it did not disappoint! If you want to inject some colour and fun into your flowers then take note because this is how to do it!

After a drive in the appropriately named “Emily” wedding car Ed and Emily were married in a beautiful service at St Marie’s church in Bury surrounded by their closest family and friends.

A quick showering of rainbow confetti and time for some portraits of the pair outside of the church and it was time to head over to The Old Grammar School. The traditional stone and oak building looked incredible filled full of rainbow flowers and fairy lights – the brighter the better!

After an afternoon spent in the sunshine with family and friends Ed and Emily settled down for a BBQ and speeches before kicking off the dance floor to sound of The Midnight cats. Thanks so much for having me at your big day Emily and Ed it was beautiful !

Siobhan and Joe's wonderland wedding at Rochdale Town Hall

Back in February I photographed Siobhan and Joe's wonderland themed wedding and fitting with the theme it was wonderful! Starting with bridal prep at Siobhan's parents house I instantly fell in love with Siobhan's lipstick and eyebrow combination by the insanely talented bridal by frankie!  Full of laughs, amazing music and a book gifted from Joe with space to document their first year together as husband and wife I knew this was going to be a very special day.

After travelling up and down the country photographing weddings it was lovely to back photographing a Lancashire wedding in my hometown of Rochdale. The Town hall is so beautiful and full of history with amazing decor everywhere- it has serious Hogwarts vibes! *swoon* It was a beautiful ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends full of emotional tears, smiles and laughter;  with the accompaniment of a harpist to honour Siobhan's celtic routes- what more could a wedding photographer wish for!?

Following the ceremony we headed outside for a serious shower of confetti! Use this as inspiration- if you want a kick ass confetti shot you need so much more confetti than you initially think you need (confetti canons are always a bonus)! 

We made the most of the rare winter sunshine (even though it was freezing) to take some photos of the pair around the Town hall before heading back in for a reception filled with beers hand picked to match the wonderland theme and settle in for the speeches. 

I'm not going to lie I was waiting all day for Siobhan and Joe's dancefloor to kick off- not only because I LOVE the dancefloor and getting right in the middle of it all but because I knew Joe had created an incredible playlist and it certainly did not disappoint! All of the tunes and ALL of the moves and a sensible choice to chance footwear into something more comfotable I am so excited to share a small snippet of this fabulous day! 

Sarah and Glen's arcade couple's shoot in Blackpool

A couple of weeks ago I asked good friend and fellow wedding photographer Sarah to come along to Blackpool for some fun on the beach at sunset. As a first timer to Blackpool and *hold your breath* first time in an arcade I loved being able to show Sarah exactly what it is I love about Blackpool- the colour, the fun and the care free nature. 

I met Sarah and Glen outside of Coral Island on the beach front at Blackpool and we headed into the came to play on some classic arcade games- who doesn't love a 2p slot machine!? A quick round on Mario and the obligatory failed attempt to bag a teddy on the grabber machines we headed out onto the beach as the tide came in and the sun came down.  

It was so much fun dodging the water and going for a walk/ run across the sand. I can't wait to shoot more couples here and get planning more fun couples shoots. If you're interested in a natural couples shoot drop me a message or keep an eye on my social media for dates and locations I'd like to shoot at.

Laura and Sam's seaside wedding in Blackpool

Pets at bridal prep- check, the seaside- check, arcades- check, Elvis- check! Laura and Sam's wedding was SO much fun and was full of things I love. 

The day started at Laura and Sam's house for bridal prep which to my delight featured Lily the dog! After prep we heading to The wedding chapel which is situated right on the front of Blackpool promenade and perfectly frames the Blackpool tower. 

After taking a stroll along the promenade and onto North pier and taking a few photos of Laura and Sam we made a quick stop in the arcades *yay* The wedding party then headed to local Italian Nunzio's for the wedding meal and the all important speeches which included a lovely poem from Sam's mum. 

After being refuelled it was time for everyone to take a stroll down to The talk of the town for Laura and Sam's evening reception. Including some wedding crashers, a cake made of cheese and an extra special VIP .... ELVIS!! And to top it all off I managed to take Laura and Sam onto the beach (or as close to it as we could get in high tide) for some evening portraits...here's a brief glance of what their day looked like.
