I first met Helen and Ant at a wedding fayre I was exhibiting at in Blackpool at the Hilton Hotel.  Ant appeared relaxed about his wedding plans, whilst Helen had an air of excitement that was contagious, and I quickly became as excited as she was for her wedding plans!

As is the case at many fairs, it was several months later that Helen and Ant confirmed they would like to book my services, and I was thrilled.

Pre Wedding Shoot

I met with Helen and Ant at Beacon Fell Country Park for their Pre Wedding Shoot and quickly got to know them. They soon relaxed and got used to the camera being around them and really enjoyed the experience of having a Pre Wedding Shoot.

Bridal Prep 

The day previous to Helen and Ant’s big day we had experienced torrential downpours throughout the day, and knowing of Helen and Ant’s plans I was nervous about the weather. However, luck was on our side and I awoke to beautiful blue skies.

Helen was getting ready at her parent’s house with Ant getting ready at The Big Blue Hotel in Blackpool. I had assigned Groom Prep duties to my second shooter, the very talented Rob Clayton who very kindly stepped in at the 11th hour and got some amazing shots throughout the day.

I arrived at Helen’s parent’s house bright and early, receiving the warmest of welcomes from Helen’s parents, and was introduced to Theo the Turtle.
