Alison and Adam’s wedding day at The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel
Pre-wedding shoot in Delamere Forest with the horse Rehab
I met Alison, Adam and their lovely horse Rehab for the pre-wedding shoot in Delamere Forest. Photographing a couple with their horse is a brilliant way to capture personality — and it set the tone for the wedding day.
Bridal prep with makeup by Stacey
On the wedding day I arrived to find Alison and her bridesmaids getting ready, with makeup artist Stacey helping everyone look their best. Alison’s son Jake had the important job of looking after the rings, while Adam and his best man Leon eagerly awaited the ceremony.
Emotional ceremony at The Grosvenor Pulford
The ceremony was full of emotional moments and laughter, followed by confetti and a stack of natural photographs around the lake and gardens.
Couple portraits in the Japanese gardens
The Grosvenor Pulford’s Japanese gardens with the bridge over the lake gave us standout couple portraits. We also worked the hotel’s beautiful staircase for interior images.
Wedding breakfast, speeches and the evening
The speeches were a highlight of the reception — plenty of laughter filling the room. The evening continued with night-time images, sparklers and lots of dancing.
“Absolutely amazing — Rick ensured we got all the shots we wanted on our wedding day and did a great job helping to organise people into the right place for the photos we wanted. He was helpful with everything and a pleasure to have at the wedding, easy to work with, had some great ideas. Highly recommended.”
