Chantelle & Simon: A DIY Leigh Town Hall Wedding

The WONDERFUL Chantelle and Simon were the first of my 2017 couples to take me up on this crazy add-on service. Chantelle is herself a keen photographer and lover of all vintage and they were so excited for the possibility of film and showing off another perspective of the big day. After an absolute nightmare just five days before their wedding that neccessitated a last minute venue change - yes really! - my second shooter Jenn and I arrived at the beautifully classic Leigh Town Hall for a (very warm!) early summer family-filled ceremony.

Nina & Zakk: A Manchester City Centre Engagement Shoot

Nina and Zakk are one such couple and I was super stoked when these Sweden-based lovebirds told be that they'd be back in the UK for Christmas and we'd get a chance for their shoot ahead of their July 1st wedding. If you've been keeping up with me over the quiet period, you'll have seen a few of the sneak peeks I posted from their Manchester city centre pre-wedding shoot...these two are just amazing.
