Mel and Lewis’s wedding day at Knowsley Hall

Pre-wedding shoot and planning

Met Mel and Lewis at the pre-meeting and pre-wedding shoot — we knew we’d get great images at this venue.

Bridal prep with six bridesmaids in six different colours

Six lovely bridesmaids each in a different-coloured dress — totally distinctive. Mel’s shoes were the most amazing wedding shoes with painting all over them (Facebook: Pretty Painted). Personalised car reg plate for Lewis as a wedding gift — never seen that before.

Breathtaking ceremony room

The Knowsley Hall ceremony room — like the whole interior — is breathtaking and photogenic. Lovely ceremony followed by outdoor portraits and natural couple images of Mel and Lewis walking the grounds.

Funny speeches and quirky bridesmaid attitude shots

Funny speeches throughout. Captured some quirky “attitude” shots with Mel and her bridesmaids — exactly what they wanted after a bit of bubbly.

First dance with Agent Smith

First dance and Agent Smith band — one of the best wedding bands I’ve worked with. Sparkler shots and night photography wrapped up an epic Lancashire wedding day.

“We found Rick at a Wedding Fair and were drawn to his stall by some of his pictures on display. He does a good mixture of fun, quirky, group, romantic and scenic shots and has given us a fantastic range of photos. Many people commented on how hard he worked on the day. He’s open to ideas and humoured me and my bridesmaids when we were a bit tipsy and wanting some silly attitude pictures which are some of our favourites.”
