For our first wedding of 2023 we had the pleasure of shooting one of the happiest and craziest couples we’ve had the privilege of working with. Last month, these two incredible people tied the knot at the stunning venue, The Villa, located in the idyllic village of Wrea Green near Preston. As soon as I arrived at the venue in the morning to capture Sharon having her hair done by Kate Sutcliffe Hair and makeup done by Amanda Simpson, I could tell the day was going to be a laugh from start to finish and the numerous references to farts, toilet habits and practical jokes during the ceremony just went to prove it. I really don’t know how Cate and Nikki from Pink and Ginger Ceremonies managed to keep a straight face through all the funny stories they included in the ceremony.
Stepping out as a newly married couple to the front of the venue, the bride and groom were greeted by all their guests for the traditional throwing of confetti and plenty of hugs and congratulations. We then took the bride and groom for a walk with their 2 dogs for their first portraits as husband and wife.
Returning to the venue, the guests were seated for the wedding breakfast after the groom and his bestman gave a couple of hilarious speeches. We then took a second opportunity to take the bride and groom out for some more portraits before the evening festivities began with the cutting of the cake and the first dance. The evening came to a close for me by getting all the wedding guests outside for one last big congratulations to the couple with sparklers.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much I enjoyed their wedding.
