Sally and Bry’s Wedding

Lydia — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 10:57:10 +0000

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

Beth and Pauls Wedding

Lydia — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:41:32 +0000

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!

Portrait of the week

Lydia — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 08:56:15 +0000

There was absolutely no question what was going to be LTJ Studio portrait of the week! Lydia wanted to try a different look this week in her portraiture, so when gorgeous Matilda and Daisy came along she seized the opportunity. Its hard to believe they are only age eight and nine, they were the perfect models. I think you would agree Lydia has certainly done her job and captured a very special look and we would certainly welcome your comments. It was so hard to pick our favorite portrait so we’ve included five -

if any catches your eye please let us know.

Portrait of The Week

This portrait taken by Nicola Mills LMPA is of Hannah and her beautiful daughter Poppy aged 2. We first met Poppy when she came into the studio on one of our popular Baby Ballet weeks. It was lovely to see her again and lovely to see her mum crying during the viewing – for all the right reasons!

Congratulations to Angela and Andrew

What a lovely day, bright blue sky, sunshine and a great wedding venue in the Lake District at The Merewood Hotel Windermere! Angela and Andrew are both from Edgworth, Bolton just round the corner from our wedding and portraiture Studio. We had a great day with lots of fun, it was lovely to see Angela and Andrews four children enjoying the day. Lots of locals from Edgworth village were there and it was nice to see lots of our old clients – it really made my day to see some old friends.

The bride wore a dress from Claire Louise Brides Bolton and looked stunning, here is a sneak preview of there special day. If you enjoyed this lovely day feel free to leave a comment.
