Nic and James’s wedding day at Rivington Hall Barn
Bridal prep at Serenity hair and beauty salon
I started at Nic’s local hair salon, Serenity Hair and Beauty — very professional and friendly staff, two bridesmaids in a relaxed mood.
Two best men, peacock and purple dressing
To Rivington Hall Barn to meet James and his two best men (over 50% of my weddings now have two best men). Past the local peacock by the front door, into the barn — looking amazing with venue dressing. Old bike with the seating plan, purple lighting, lovely seat covers.
Negotiating the Lancashire weather
Captured natural moments before heavy showers (even in June). Brolly shots, then sun, then back to natural — Lancashire weather can turn quickly.
Speeches and rustic-barn dancing
Funny speeches and dancing in the barn — the venue’s character makes for properly atmospheric night photography.
