Our first wedding since our return from a brief holiday on the Greek Island of Crete (see our blog entry at www.barrieneil.blogspot.com for a few photographs).
Saturday, 7th November 2009 sees us at the extensive venue of Thornton Hall on the Wirral for the wedding of Lisa and Richard.
Neil and I are both looking forward to getting back into the swing of things again and this should be a good wedding with a very nice couple at a great venue

Wedding at Thornton Manor
The last of our three weddings this week was on Saturday, 10th October 2009 and saw us once again at magnificent Thornton manor on the Wirral for the civil wedding of Sue and Matthew.We'd met Sue and Matthew a couple of times before the wedding and they are a great 'fun' couple so we knew we were in for a great day - and so it turned out.
Sue looked amazing as did the bridesmaids in their hot pink dresses. The guys were not to be outdone though in their incredibly striking black suits with hot pink ties.
The venue of Thornton Manor is a photographer's dream as we have often mentioned and
come rain or shine, couples getting married here are assured of a great wedding and great photos too.Sue and Matthew are honeymooning in Thailand but as usual, I can show you a couple of the photographs from the wedding. We'll post a few more photos over on our wedding blog at www.barrieneilweddings.blogspot.com

Here are a small selection from the day. Sue and Matthew will see the many hundreds from the day when they return from their fab honeymoon in Thailand

Wedding at Llyndir Hall in Rossett
Neil and I have been so very lucky in that without exception, all of the couples we have been privileged to photograph have been really lovely people.Nichola and Andrew, whose wedding we photographed at Llyndir Hall in Rossett, North Wales on Friday 9th October 2009, are certainly no exception.
I don't think I have ever met anyone who smiles quite as much as the absolutely gorgeous Nichola and when she does, her whole face lights up. She has the most enormous smile and it's wonderful to see. Andrew is a lovely guy, so nice to be with and together, they make the perfect couple.
The weather forecast for the wedding was pretty grim with rain scheduled all day which obviously would have been such a great shame as the grounds of Llyndir Hall are delightful and particularly so in the Autumn. As it turned out, we had a beautiful day, just right for photography (we tend to be very lucky with weather at our weddings. I am convinced somebody looks after us!).The happy couple will soon be off on their honeymoon (Dubai and the
Maldives - oh what I would do for a bit of sun shine and relaxation right now). As usual, I can show you a couple of the photographs from the wedding. We'll post a few more photos over on our wedding blog at www.barrieneilweddings.blogspot.com

Wedding at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire
Monday 5th October 2009 saw us at the wedding of Stefanie and Adam.This has to be unique amongst weddings in that Stefanie and Adam met whilst both on active service in Afghanistan. It just shows that love can blossom even in the most difficult of conditions.
The day was absolutely gorgeous matched only by the lovely Stefanie and her very handsome husband, Adam (in his Household Cavalry dress uniform).Peckforton Castle near Tarporley in Cheshire always looks magnificent and is a wonderful setting for a wedding and it has never looked better bathed in the early autumn sunshine.
As usual, I can show you a couple of the photographs from the wedding. We'll post a few more photos over on our wedding blog at www.barrieneilweddings.blogspot.com

Weddings this week
Autumn is a very popular time for weddings with the glorious colours and so this week proves.
Monday (5th October, 2009) sees us at Peckforton Castle. We like this venue and haven't been there for an few weeks so looking forward to the wedding of Stefanie and Adam.
On Friday (9th October 2009), we are at the wedding of Nichola and Andrew at Llyndir Hall in Rossett. LLyndir Hall in autumn is brilliant as they have this wonderful Beech tree in the grounds that puts on it's own colour show at this time of year that takes some beating.
Last but by no means least, on Saturday (10th October 2009) we are at our favourite wedding venue of Thornton Manor on the Wirral for the wedding of Sue and Matthew.
We are looking forward to all 3 weddings that are at wonderful locations and most importantly, we will be meeting these lovely people again.
On Sunday, no doubt we will still be busy editing the thousands of photographs from the 3 weddings but on Monday 12th October 2009 I am definitely having the day off as it's my birthday (whoo hoo)

Wedding at the Queen Hotel, Chester
St Werburgh's Church slap bang in the middle of Chester is a magnificent building and provides a wonderful setting for a wedding service as it did on Saturday, 3rd October 2009 for the wedding of Heather and John.It is so bright and large that even with a large gathering of friends and family it didn't feel crowded. The weather had been really good although a little breezy and as there was going to be a baptism right after our wedding, we decided we would go to the park opposite the church for some family photos.
At this time of year with all the lovely autumn colours, the park would make an excellent setting for the photographs. Unfortunately though, the weather had other ideas and just before Heather and John left the church, the heavens opened and the rain started to fall.
Never mind, the Chester vintage bus had been booked to ferry passengers back and forth to the hotel from the church so we all piled on that for the short journey to the Queen Hotel and we did the photographs in the very unusual courtyard gardens of the hotel..Everybody appeared to have a great time and the bride and groom are no doubt enjoying the delights of Kuala Lumpar for a few days as I write this before heading further to Borneo - how exotic is that!
As usual, I can show you a few of the photographs from the wedding. We'll post a few more photos over on our wedding blog at www.barrieneilweddings.blogspot.com
