Crewe Hall ♥ Louisa and Ryan

A busy wedding this with lots of people, lots of travelling and a couple of celebrities thrown in for good measure.

Louisa and Ryan both got ready for their big day at Crewe Hall in Cheshire, a magnificent building set in stunning grounds just on the outskirts of Crewe town. The ceremony was taking place at St Bertoline's Church in the nearby village of Barthomley and whilst most of the guests were transported by minibus, Louisa naturally had a much more elegant mode of transport befitting the beautiful bride, in the form of a lovely cream Beauford car.

Once the ceremony was over, it was back to the magnificence of Crewe Hall for drinks, photographs and the wedding breakfast.

What of the celebrities I mentioned earlier you ask? The mother and father of one of the ushers are the well known actors Jessie Birdsall and Gwyneth Strong (aka "Cassandra" in "Only Fools and Horses").. photo below.

As usual, here are a small selection from the day.

The Office

Regular readers may have seen work we have previously been commissioned to provide by our great friends at the Lifestyle Services Group (LSG) based in Crewe in Cheshire.

They are in the process of revamping both their Internet and Intranet sites and commissioned us to photograph their working environment both in their Crewe offices and in a wholly owned subsidiary (STAMS) in Hersham, Surrey.

The requirement was to photograph the offices and the objects in them for a stock library of imagery they are building up. These will be images that can be used for the website, flyers, notices, press release in fact anywhere that images are required.

Here are a few samples to give you the idea of the photographs we produced.

Ringing the changes

Another of our valued regular clients is the Lifestyle Group (LSG). With head offices in Crewe in Cheshire they provide a variety of support services to the banking and mobile phone industries.

This commission was to photograph key people at their Crewe office as well as the offices themselves for use in recruitment material (printed, multimedia and on-line).

I have to say that I think the staff at LSG are some of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet and working there must be such fun. Everyone seems perpetually happy!

If it's Monday, it must be Crewe

Isn't it funny how things work out. Some days you travel all over the place and on another (like today) we have 2 jobs that have come in and both of them are in Crewe (very convenient).

We are photographing a young lady who has just received a national award recognising her voluntary work with the Victim's Support Organisation.

The second finds us photographing some trucks belonging to those good people at Rymans the Stationers at their Crewe Depot.

Two completely different types of work but it's what makes this job so very interesting
