Megan and Corey’s wedding at The White Hart Inn at Lydgate, near Oldham in Lancashire, was an epic and fun-filled day in a truly picturesque setting. Having met this lovely couple before the big day, I was excited to capture their special moments. A big thank you goes to Shaun and Vicky for recommending me for Megan and Corey’s wedding!
The Day From the Brides Prep
The day began with bridal preparations at Megan’s parents’ house in Royton, filled with a calm and happy atmosphere amidst the usual hive of activity. The emerald green theme, showcased through the bridesmaids’ dresses, added a touch of elegance, while the Bucks Fizz flowed in celebration.
Next, I drove up into the hills to find Corey and his groomsmen at The White Hart Inn at Lydgate. The location felt like a serene escape, with blue skies and breathtaking views. A charming little Fiat even made an appearance for some fun photos!
March 26th was an unusually warm day, perhaps the hottest March day I’ve ever experienced during a wedding. Megan arrived at the venue in a fabulous wedding car, accompanied by her proud dad. Their adorable one-year-old daughter, Paisley, led the bridal party up the aisle in her cute green dress, setting the stage for the heartfelt ceremony.
With smiles exchanged and wedding rings exchanged by Megan and Corey, it was time to enjoy the incredible weather and capture some truly natural and romantic images of the couple. The views from The White Hart Inn at Lydgate were extraordinary, offering panoramas of Manchester, Oldham, and the surrounding areas.
As the drinks reception unfolded in the venue’s gardens, I continued to document the day, focusing on capturing candid moments. The speeches provided plenty of laughter, smiles, and tears, and I was able to document a range of emotional reactions from their loved ones.
Later in the evening, we captured some stunning dark green night images, keeping with the wedding day’s color theme. The first dance, Megan’s emotional dance with her father, and the lively dancing on the dance floor showcased the incredible energy and happiness that filled the room.
It was a joy to capture these natural and fun moments, especially considering the challenges of recent years with lockdowns. As my coverage came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to have been a part of Megan and Corey’s amazing wedding day at The White Hart Inn at Lydgate.
Below are some of my favourite shots from the day.

The Perfect photographer
We cannot recommend Rick enough for our wedding photography, he went above and beyond in every aspect of the day to capture everything perfectly. The photos were absolutely stunning, so amazing at what he does and such a lovely, humble person. So much time and effort went into our day, before and after the day too, it was so clear how much he loves to do what he does. We couldn’t have wished for anyone else to have been there to capture it for us. Megan .
