Packing up

Another regular client is Tetra Pak based near to Wrexham in North Wales.

Tetra Pak is the Scandinavian company that design and produce those incredibly packaging materials especially those for holding liquids of various kinds.

We've photographed many aspects of their process from printing to shaping and filling and I love watching the automated processes in action. This time we were there to photograph the management team with some of their currrent products.

Peckforton Castle ♥ Amy and Adrian

St John's Church in Dukinfield near to Stockport is a wedding photographers dream as not only is it very beautiful but it has a gallery that overlooks the aisle so you can get some terrific aerial photographs of the ceremony.

Amy and Adrian showed their impeccable good taste in not only choosing this church but in holding their wedding reception at the spectacular Peckforton Castle near Tarporley using a gorgeous chauffeur driven Beauford car to get there.

There was hardly a cloud in the sky and the blue offset the sandstone of the castle beautifully. We stayed for the evening reception at this particular wedding and captured some lovely exteriors of the floodlit castle.

Ho.. ho... Hoseasons

When you get a telephone call from a travel company, your head immediately fills with images of working on white sandy beaches under a blazing tropical sun.

This image was quickly dispelled when instead, Nick at this particular travel firm for whom we have undertaken a number of previous commissions, brought me down to Earth by asking us to photograph a presentation to a Travel Agent in Chester.

Such is life but as it happens, this job was at our favourite travel agent in Chester, Deva Travel, who had received an award.

Quite a straightforward job although when there is very little company branding in evidence, getting the 'right' shot is never THAT easy

Peckforton Castle ♥ Emily and Craig

Peckforton Castle is an absolutely stunning location for any kind of event but especially for a wedding. Set in hundreds of acres of woodland and accessed via a long and winding road that meanders through the trees, nobody can fail to be amazed by this stunning venue. We are very proud to have been asked to be preferred suppliers of photographic services to Peckforton Castle.

Emily and Craig are a lovely couple with a beautiful son who it had to be said, did steal the show more than a little. Craig is in the services and has been in Afghanistan so we were particularly proud to have been chosen by them as their photographer and to have been there for them on this day.

They chose to have a blessing that the consecrated chapel that is within the grounds of Peckforton Castle. The chapel is very beautiful and quite a few couples choose to use it and it certainly adds another lovely dimension to the day.

Since the wedding, we have been asked to photograph Emily's sister's wedding which is a great endorsement for us and more of Charlotte''s wedding later no doubt.

Here are a few of the many photographs taken on the day.

Ruthin Castle ♥ Anne-Marie and Jim

I've said it before but it's well worth repeating... I love photographing weddings. It's so good to be part of one of the most important days of a couple's life and helping to make it special for them and to provide them (and their friends and families) with photographic memories they can cherish forever.

The wedding of Anne-Marie and Jim was simply lovely. The gorgeous Anne-Marie looked stunning in her amazing dress. Her hair and make-up was beautiful as was that of the bridesmaids who were breathtaking in their blue dresses.

The men as ever, looked very smart and so many ushers? Why is it that there always seems to be more ushers than bridesmaids? You girls need to do something about that!

The location for the wedding was the sumptuous Ruthin Castle in Denbighshire, North Wales. We have a long and happy association with Ruthin Castle and are very good friends with Russell the wedding coordinator. The castle is a superb location for a wedding and so romantic.

A great day was had by everyone and even the weather co-operated with us. As usual, here are a few photographs from the hundreds taken on the day
