Read MoreVivienne and Andy got married in June at the grand Belle Epoque Hotel, which is a stunning, iconic venue in the centre of Knutsford. It was the most beautiful wedding and the sun shone all day long!
Read MoreWith a cake cutting to start off the hilarious and very moving speeches (including a full set of props by Pippa's dad!) the guests were then entertained by the awesome Magic Kay's sleight of hand and tunes by the soulful Johnny Walker, setting up an evening full of so much laughter and dancing and silliness - Pippa and Kallum and I even managed to escape to the games room for a quick game of billiards (turns out our bride was a bit of a Shark!)

Read MoreI first landed at the stunning Standish wedding venue, Ashfield House, in April of this year. I had booked to second shoot the wonderful Debbie & Darran's wedding for Jonny Draper on the 1st of May but that night I was there exhibiting at an open evening alongside several other vendors including Kerry Baker MUA and the Rose Boutique, both of whom were going to be working on Debbie and Darran's wedding.
