I was really excited when Jen messaged to suggest that we shoot their engagement at Tatton Park. I hadn’t been there for a while and it’s such a beautiful place to visit and photograph.
We got to Tatton early and it was really quiet, it almost felt like we had the place to ourselves while we were walking around.
What a weekend I had capturing Zoe & Phil’s epic elopement adventure engagement shoot around the beautiful Lake District in Cumbria!
We covered a fair bit of ground while shooting around the beautiful Lakes from climbing the steep lakeside hills to capture the epic landscape to romancing around Brougham Castle in Penrith & walking along the nearby river Eamont banks to get that perfect picture. We ventured & trekked through the fields above Ullwater & came across some beautiful white horses peacefully grazing before we made our way to the jaw dropping Ullswater for a barefoot stroll in the lake.
It was the 3rd March, & the time had come for Rebecca & Shaun's wedding at the Cottons Hotel & Spa in Knutsford Cheshire. It was also the week that the "Beast from the East" had arrived bringing with it bitter winds, heavy snow conditions & sub-zero temperatures, but that wasn't going to put a dampener on the day going ahead as planned.
Since shooting Shaun & Rebecca's engagement shoot at Marbury Park, I had the pleasure of hearing some exciting news, Rebecca was pregnant & would be in her third trimester during their wedding day, completing their family & making the wedding day extra special.
After a busy morning chilling & prepping for the day ahead (and a few pre-nervous drinks later), Shaun was dressed to impress along with their son Rhys & best man Matt, while the ladies were relaxing & getting ready in the bridal suite making themselves look beautiful & being pampered.
The ceremony took place at The Cottons Hotel & Spa & there after day ran perfectly from start to finish & everyone's emotions were running high. There were lots of laughter & tears as the day unfolded.
It was a fun & relaxed wedding & I was made very welcome by family & friends as I mingled in & captured candid shots of Shaun & Rebecca's friends & family.
It was a pleasure shooting Shaun & Rebecca's wedding & witnessing them tied the knot & dance the night away.
I met lots of characters, which made the day one I won't forget anytime soon, & would like to take the opportunity to thank Shaun & Rebecca for having me photograph their special day.

When Rebecca met Shaun at a local Cheshire pub in Cheshire it was love at first sight she was telling me.
Rebecca went out for a meal with her mum when she noticed Shaun working behind the bar in the pub. She decided to approach Shaun & asked for a drink, to his surprise he couldn't understand a word she said because of her strong north eastern accent & he started laughing at her.
After the meal Rebecca & her family left the pub & she went back up north the day after and didn't see or hear from Shaun after that, until a month later Rebecca's mum bumped into him and she got his number and they got in contact and it went from there.
Since then they have been inseparable & have had a boy together they have some exciting times ahead with another baby on the way and get married at the Cottons Hotel & Spa in Knutsford in March next year.
Rebecca & Shaun brought Rhys along with them on the shoot which was the perfect opportunity for me to also get some shots of them as a family as well as them as a couple.
I got to know Rebecca & Shaun as we walked round Marbury Park in Cheshire chatting about how they met and their plans for their forth coming wedding. certainly can't wait to photograph their wedding next spring.
