Mitton Hall Wedding Photographs – Helena & David

I only had to wait a couple of days in to January for my first wedding of 2012 and what a fantastic way it was to start the New Year!

Helena & David got married at the beautiful Mitton Hall in Whalley, Lancashire. I love Mitton Hall, it is one of those venues that is fantastic in both summer or winter so Helena & David couldn’t go wrong. As it turned out, although Helena & David got married shortly after New Year the weather wasn’t too bad and we were able to take lots of photographs outside as well as inside:-)

I started the day with Helena as she got ready with her bridesmaids and from the moment I arrived everything flowed perfectly, the day couldn’t have gone any better.  Helena & David had included lots of really special touches and personal touches to their wedding day, including a wedding quiz in the bar area after the wedding breakfast – a great idea!

To Helena & David – thank you very much again for asking me to photograph your wedding, it was a fantastic day and it was an honour to capture it for you. It has been a real pleasure getting to know you both and I wish you a very long and happy marriage together x

Here are a selection of my favourite photographs from your wedding at Mitton Hall:

Graham Wynne - Wow, these are really excellent – the exposures, colours and compositions are all really spot on. Definitely a standard to try and aspire to.

Jo Spencer - Neil, I’m continually amazed at your work. You manage to convey real emotion in a modern, beautiful, Neil Redfern way…

It’s pretty obvious why brides are lining up for you to rock their weddings!

Belle Epoque wedding photographs – Kim & James

Just before Christmas last year, I had the huge pleasure of photographing Kim & James’s beautiful winter wedding at Brook Street Chapel and The Belle Epoque in Knutsford, Cheshire – and what a fantastic day it was!

Kim and James are such a nice couple and I have really enjoyed getting to know them over the past year or so. I don’t think any bride could have put more time and effort in to the planning of a wedding day than Kim had done (and I’m sure James too!) so I was so pleased for them when their wedding day turned out to be as perfect as Kim had planned. I started the day at Kim and James’ house where Kim was getting ready with her bridesmaids before driving to Knutsford to meet up with James and his groomsmen at Brook Street Chapel. The Chapel has special connections to James’ family which just made the ceremony even more personal.

After the wedding ceremony Kim and James invited me to join them for a ride in the wedding car (a Rolls Royce – without doubt the nicest car I have ever been in!) and we then took some photographs as the sun was setting over Knutsford – the light was just perfect and we even had some snow on the ground!:-)

We then traveled back to the Belle Epoque for the wedding reception. It was really nice that my last wedding of 2011 was at the Belle Epoque because I love working there and it is just perfect for winter weddings with the roaring fire and intimate feel:-)An extra bonus was that my very good friends The Leos Quartet were playing at the wedding too – my favourite quartet in my favourite venue with an amazing bride and groom – perfect!

To Kim & James – thank you so much again for asking me to be your wedding photographer. I am so pleased that you had the perfect winter wedding. It has been so know getting to know you both and I wish you both (and Isobel!) a very long and happy future together x

Martin Hambleton - It’s all great stuff, of course, but what stood out to me was your perspective during the ceremony. I love the idea of shooting it from the balcony. Really different.

Claire – English Wedding blog - Gorgeous. I love the photos in the snowy field, it looks beautiful! Kim is stunning – my favourite photo is of the two of them laughing: priceless.
And The Belle Epoque in white is different, creative and looks fab. I can tell from the pics this was a great party – I was smiling along with the dancers there towards the end.
Lovely – looking forward to the next one!
