The wedding of Dave and Rachael was taking place in Salford just after a really cold spell that had snow,I was hoping for a bit more just for my selfish photo reasons.It didn't happen but got a blue sky day instead,not bad.

It was an early start,the ceremony at Buile Hill park was before noon so had to make it through rush hour traffic to get the bridal preps took.

We did an engagement shoot at the venue the week before so had some posed shots already in my head,I always try to do this ,you cant be over prepared,ha. The venue was a well lit room with sunshine blasting in from the windows,all went to plan,used my 16-35 mm wide angel lens to get all the guests in shot watching.After I did lots of shots around the bridal car and then lots more in the garden of the group shots.Then me and the bride,groom and their little girl did some posed shots around the back of the old manor house,these went well.Next was the speeches and then the meal,more shots done of the speeches and then a wait till the evening do where the first dance was performed.

The beautiful Browsholme Hall and The Tithe Barn was the place of today’s wedding ,set in the Trough of Bowland in Lancashire.What a fantastic backdrop for a wedding and certainly makes it easy for the photographer to take some really good pictures .Rain was forecast for the day so we had to plan the outdoor shots between showers,so being quite flexible and ready is a must. The bridal party was getting ready in Browsholme Hall itself,just a stones throw from The Tithe Barn.

As bridal prep places go this is one of the best,the room next door was very stately with coats of arms and suits of armour adorned across the room.We decided to shoot some bridal party pictures in here too.

Luckily the walk to the barn was a dry one ,though umbrellas were at the ready..The Tithe Barn was full of wedding guests,and Franziska walked down the Isle with her dad..

A beautiful ceremony for a beautiful couple,all went well .The light in the Barn wasn’t the best,but not the worse by far,the latest sensors in the recent Canon cameras compared to the ones I used ten years ago are on a total different level,so low light isn’t a worry like it used to be.

Just a short walk away there is a small body of water where we did the prewedding shoot,and we were lucky with the rain but only just.You have to make most of your short time you have with the newly weds,we always have a preset plan of the day for shoots ,where and when,we like being prepared.

After the meal and speeches we got ready for the evening party,cake cutting and first dance.the cake was a cheese based one ,a thing of beauty.There’s not enough cakes like this around in my opinion .
