About six weeks ago I received a phonecall from Jane’s mum; at the last minute, they were in need of a wedding photographer in Warrington. As soon as the date was mentioned I knew that this was a very rare occasion when I would have to defer to my husband for ‘permission’. 20th August was the day we were to depart on our much anticipated holiday to Wales and it seemed like the right thing to do to check with him first before confirming my availability. Good egg that he is he said it was fine and Jane and I confirmed details.
Jane and Tim met only last year but knew very quickly that they were with ‘the one’ and the date was set. Their Christian faith is incredibly important to both of them and their wider family and, after meeting them for the first time at the rehearsal I knew this would be a very special wedding.
I have been very fortunate with my wedding clients – all of my couples have been lovely but from the very first handshake that evening to meeting the rest of Jane and Tim’s family and friends on the wedding day itself I was made to feel incredibly welcome – what a lovely bunch of people!
So, on Saturday morning I waved husband and kids off to Wales and headed off to Stockton Heath. The ceremony was lovely – touching and heartfelt and followed by a buffet in the Church Hall. After the speeches I jumped in the car and headed off on holiday.
Anyway, enough of the babble and on with the pictures!
Gorgeous colours!
A lovely couple. You captured some beautiful moments.
Wonderful work! I adore that ring shot- beautiful!
Nicely told in images. I love when last-minute plans turn out to be so rewarding.
very lovely. i love how excited and happy the groom looks. i bet he had a perma-smile all day long!
The sweetness of this couple is apparent, couple of good eggs themselves 
Very cute couple!
Very nice of your husband, and I’m glad it worked out for everyone all around!
So, a little insight into what I get up to when not photographing weddings and portraits in and around Warrington. I choose to get more than a little muddy and more than a little worked out at Thelwall Military Fitness.
Held on Tuesdays at 7pm and Saturdays at 9pm at Thelwall Parish Hall, the sessions are a mix of circuits, the odd sprint (or 20) and generally a great laugh – if you’ve got enough breath!
Seriously, whether you need to lose some weight, tone up, increase your fitness or just escape from real life for an hour, I can highly recommend coming along and giving it a try. It’s accessible to everyone, you don’t have to be superfit, just determined to make a bit of a change and work hard.
If you’re interested then give Tony (the one that shouts, sometimes) a call on 07886 447726 or email him on tcook59@yahoo.com
And here, if you want to have a look are some shots from a ‘typical’ Saturday morning.

Great set of images, cool captures.
Phew, makes me tired just looking at these – great captures!
A few weeks ago I received a call from Warren regarding his wedding to Cheryl on 10th June in Warrington. Their original plan had been to head off abroad and get married there but decided, fairly late in the day that they should do both – a wedding here in Warrington followed by two weeks in the Maldives with a blessing and, presumably a fabulous holiday too!
The ceremony was held at Warrington Registry Office and after a quick and slightly rainy stop at Lymm Dam for some photographs we headed to Cottons in Knutsford for the Wedding Meal.
As a photographer it’s a rare treat to be part of such a small wedding party – only 8 people including the bride and groom made for a very intimate and special day.
The car was provided by Andrea from the Grand Carriage Company - another local Warrington company. I haven’t worked with Andrea before but the service she provides is impeccable.
Anyway, enough chat, on with the pictures!

They look so happy – congratulations to them and reat memories captured, Bridget!
Wonderful! I love that last one.
I especially love the groom in the mirror. Very proud literally reflective picture!
Wonderfully captured – great work
What a great looking couple – their smiles are really infectious right from the word go. Love the images of the groom getting ready – often overlooked, especially if shooting solo.
Love the one in the last sequence where they’re looking at each other and laughing!
So cute! Love this wedding!
You’ve really captured the intimacy here, the couple look so happy with it all!
I think you did a great job capturing the private, intimate ceremony. Nice stuff!
