Emma and Craig’s wedding day at Cranage Hall
Beautiful 2018 weather and outdoor wedding
2018 was the best wedding-weather year I’d worked through. Emma and Craig had the beautiful gardens for their outdoor Cranage Hall wedding.
Aston Martin arrival and Susie’s florals
Flowers from the fabulous Susie at Black Eyed Susie Floral Design — highly recommended. Craig arrived in an Aston Martin. Wow.
Pagoda ceremony with the long red carpet
The ceremony was at the Cranage Hall pagoda in the rear garden with a long red-carpet aisle. Emma and her proud dad walked the long aisle to meet Craig — lovely ceremony full of smiles.
Couple portraits in the grounds
After the ceremony we worked the Cranage Hall grounds — outdoor wedding images at this venue always look brilliant. Pre-wedding meeting had locked in what Emma and Craig wanted, so we worked efficiently.
Afternoon sun, hilarious speeches and dancing
Plenty of time for the couple to drink and socialise in the sun. Then wedding breakfast, very funny speeches at Craig’s expense (the two best men did a brilliant job), and fun dancing into the night.
“Based on our pre-wedding shoot pictures, we knew that the wedding photographs would be good — but wow they exceeded all expectations! We have just received our album last week and what can I say other than amazing. Rick captured the day brilliantly, telling the story of our perfect day. On the day Rick was friendly, professional and accommodating. We would have no hesitation in recommending Rick. Our photos are amazing — thank you so much.”
