February 2026

Winter weddings are very popular now, so not at all surprised to have several weddings this month.

Heskin Hall

My first visit to this grand venue, and what a day Lucy & Sean had.

They actually got married at St Mary's church in Wigan - WOW ! what an incredible place.

Then it was off to Heskin Hall for a brilliant celebration. Rather difficult to choose just a few photos to represent their day...

Barton Manor

I am so fortunate to photograph weddings from 250+ guests to the more intimate ones. Jonathan & Blazie chose the latter.

A lovely simply ceremomy at Preston Registry office, then back to Barton Manor for drinks and a meal. It didn't stop us from doing the infamous "indoor confetti sprinkle" though...

The loveliest couple, together with their closest family and friends.

Just perfect

Hobbit Hill

Back to this brilliant venue again - although I have been so unlucky with the weather every time I've been here !

However, this didn't stop Kirsty & Rick having the best day. Confetti in the rain - absolutely !! Sparklers outside - oh yeah !

This venue is awesome, and every credit to the couple for not letting the February drizzle spoil their fun.
