June 2026

It's getting busier still, and the heatwaves were almost upon us.

Mytton Fold. Langho, Blackburn

I love visiting Mytton. It really is a fantastic venue. Kate & Josh were the most awesome couple, and their bridesmaids and groomsmen were simply the best! Sensible enough to look after the couple all day, but massively up for a laugh when needed.

Their first dance was also epic ! Well rehearsed and simply brilliant. What a great day.

The Shireburn. Hurst Green

Another of my "love this place" venues. The views out the back are insane, and the venue itself just lends itseld to the best weddings.

Marnie & Niall had the best day with another brilliant bunch of friends and family.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.

Woolas Barn. Appleton Roebuck. York

Wow. This unique farm/barn wedding was sensational, and Charles & Esmae had the best day.

The sun shone, my shorts were on, the factor 50 was out, as were the Alpacas ...

I loved being a part of this day. A lot of laughs, a lot of fun (and the biggest supplier meal I have ever eaten...)

Samlesbury Hall. Preston

Louise & Ste. What can I say. What a day.

Yes, we had a little rain at first, but look what we were able to do with it..

Absolutely loved your day at this very special venue. Also great to be working with George the Toastmaster again - EVERY wedding needs a George....

Clifton Arms Hotel. Lytham

On the face of it, sharing your wedding day with Lytham Club Day at a venue on the parade route, should be a bad idea - however it gave us music in the morning during preps, and the best random pictures we could have hoped for in the afternoon....

Anna & Alan were the best couple, and we had a simply brilliant day at this great venue.
