Bridal prep with red bridesmaids and groom’s party in The Den

Bridal prep went smoothly with Steph’s bridesmaids in red effortlessly spreading joy and laughter. Meanwhile Alex and his groomsmen enjoyed Colshaw Hall’s “The Den” — table tennis, a bar, everything a groom’s party could ask for. The Colshaw Hall staff went above and beyond, helping Steph with her dress.

Emotional ceremony

The ceremony was filled with emotional tears from the family.

A unique group shot — six brothers and a set of twins

One of the most unique group shots in my 25 years of professional wedding photography — Steph the big sister with her six younger brothers, including a set of twins.

Speeches and the dance floor

After heartfelt speeches the celebrations continued with lively dancing. Everyone joined in — an atmosphere full of laughter, smiles and energy. The party carried on well into the night, and we captured some stunning night shots before coverage ended.
