Thornton Manor and Thornton Hall

This week sees us photographing 2 weddings again.

The first is on Friday and sees us back at magnificent Thornton Manor in the beautiful Wirral village of Thornton Hough where we are delighted to be photographing the wedding of Jennifer and Andrew.

On Saturday, we head back to Thornton Hough for that other great venue in the area, Thornton Hall. Another civil wedding this time between the gorgeous Emma and her lucky husband to be, Lee. I do hope the weather keeps fine so that we can use the Pagoda in the garden for the ceremony. It really is a lovely place for a wedding and whatever the weather, you are sure of a great day with fantastic photographs.

The following photographs are a very small sample of a couple of recent weddings we photographed at Thornton Hall

Wedding at Thornton Manor

We've just got back in from an amazing civil wedding at Thornton Manor in Thornton Hough on the Wirral. It really is one of our favourite wedding venues and we are so proud at being recommended photographers to Thornton Manor.

The bride Sophie looked simply stunning in a beautiful dress with a veil that seemed to have a life of it's own in the gentle breeze we had today. Talking about the weather, the Gods were certainly smiling on us yet again as bright blue skies and fluffy white clouds were the order of the day.

Add this to the spectacular setting of Thornton Manor and you have the recipe for the most wonderful wedding and that's what we had today.

Once again, we have well over 1000 (yes, one thousand) photos from the day and editing will start almost immediately.Here are a few from the day.

Wedding at Thornton Manor

We are pretty blessed living where we do that we have so many wonderful wedding venues within our 'patch' (Cheshire, Wirral, Shropshire and North Wales).

Quite frankly, they don't get any better than Thornton Manor on the Wirral and that is where we are off to on Thursday of this week to photograph the wedding of the lovely Sophie and Nick. We are really looking forward to it. We are very proud to be photographers recommended by Thornton Manor and it is truly one of the greatest places we know to have a wedding ceremony and/or reception.

On Saturday, we head back up the Wirral to Oxton for the wedding of Rachel and Kristian. First wedding of August so let's hope the weather gets it's act together for a change

It's another week... what will it bring?

Well so far, we have the prospect of continuing to edit over 3,000 photographs from the three weddings we photographed last week. I am sure that most people are convinced that wedding photographers pop on a suit, turn up at a wedding for 'x' hours and there it is, job done.

It's not as simple as that I'm afraid. We spend many many hours editing the photos we take (averaging about 3 man days work) to ensure we get the very best out of them and so that our clients genuinely get the very best photographs possible of their special day. So whilst they are sipping cool drinks in some exotic location, we are slaving away on their wedding photos. Hmm.... I think we might have got the life workload balance a bit wrong there!

What else is there this to look forward to this week?

Well we have another assignment for our friends at John Lewis. This time photographing some new business suits for the partners at Waitrose stores. After that, we have Sophie and Nick's wedding at Thornton Manor on the Wirral (great couple, fabulous fabulous fabulous venue) and finally yet another wedding on Saturday (Rachel and Kristian in Oxton).

A busy busy week yet again but let's be honest, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Shrigley Hall ♥ Sara and Simon

What a fantastic day! We had a little rain (luckily, most of it was when we were all safely inside St Cross Church in Knutsford for the ceremony) and also had some sun but most importantly, everybody had a great day especially our happy couple, Sara and Simon.

I don't think I have ever met a bride who smiled and laughed as much as Sara did - it really was wonderful to see. If anyone was supremely happy, it was Sara yesterday (24th July 2009).

Once again, we have hundreds and hundreds of great photos to edit but just as a very small sample, here are one or two from Shrigley Hall in Cheshire where the reception was held.

Enjoy your family party today guys and enjoy your honeymoon in the Maldives (me.... jealous?)

Turn round quick guys, there's a bit of blue sky!

Weddings at Shrigley Hall and Forest Hills

We mentioned earlier that we have 3 weddings this week. The first was a civil wedding that took place yesterday (Wednesday) at Peckforton Castle (a couple of photos can be seen on our wedding blog (link).

The next is tomorrow (Friday 24th July 2009). Sara and Simon are having their ceremony at St Cross Church in Knutsford, Cheshire with a reception at the gorgeous Shrigley Hall.

The final wedding of the week is on Saturday (25th July 2009) and this will see Rachael and Chris getting married at St Laurence's Church in Frodsham with the reception at the nearby Forest Hills Hotel.

Can't wait!
