Sally and Bry’s Wedding

Sally and Bryn where married on a scorching hot Saturday in May. Lydia was Bryn’s sisters photographer four years ago so it was lovely to see some familiar faces and friendly people. The day ended with a superb sunset sky which we took full advantage of. The venue West Tower at Ormskirk provided a fantastic backdrop to a fab couple who smiled non stop all day. They then went traveling all around Australia for a month on a trip of a lifetime. How will they ever drop down to earth after all this?? Thanks again to Sally and Bryn for asking us to be their photographers x

Baby Ballet Song and Dance Academy here at Lydia Taylor Jones

What a lovely 2 weeks, hectic but Fun with a capital F. Seventy six gorgeous ballerinas, both boys and girls, all came to our studio here in Edgworth Bolton on a promotional portrait sitting. Its been fantastic with lots of fun and laughs, and I must say the children have been a delight to work with.

We’ ve had  fantastic feed back from all the parents who all said they enjoyed their time here, and they have all been more than happy with their portraits. Here are a few of our little cherubs – please let us know what you think.

Beth and Pauls Wedding

Beth and Paul where married on 2nd May at Stathom Lodge Lymm. The sun came out for Beth’s arrival and the smile definitely came out on Paul’s face as she walked down the aisle. In fact Paul’s smile never left his face all day! It was a lovely relaxed friendly wedding and Beth truly looked stunning in her dress from Confetti Box in Eccles. The bridesmaids wore one of the most beautiful bridesmaids dress I have ever seen and both looked pretty in pink. The flowers from Tulips in Warrington set the dresses off. Paul and Beth where really happy with the service and help received from Stathom Lodge which is one of the top venues in the North West for civil weddings. Paul who manages the Manchester United shop was chuffed to receive a best wishes card from the team and manager. Thanks Beth and Paul once again for choosing us as your wedding photogaphers - we really enjoyed spending this special day with you x 

Oh what a lovely sunday afternoon !

On Sunday 9th may I had the privilege of accompanying Lydia on a shoot at a new North West venue, just up the road from me in Hoghton, Preston, BEESTON MANOR. The weather was perfect and our model Kate, whose wedding we did in January of this year at Mitton Hall, Whalley, looked just as stunning as on her wedding day. Beeston Manor is very close to the hearts of John and Janet the owners, as it took them nearly ten years to get it restored to the wedding venue it is today. It is a fantastic choice for space, character and views, possibly one of the best in the north west. What makes it extra special is the location, it is within easy reach of the M6 and M65 yet it has the feel of a remote country manor house .
If your looking for those fairytale pictures look no further! Just look at Kate tip-toeing through the lush wheat fields,which will be golden in September. The Beeston woods which the manor is named after are an extension of the lovely gardens, and Lydia had no hesitation in adventuring down there to photograph Kate in the bluebells and abundance of wild flowers.

Isn’t he a Stunner!
