What a busy month ! Sunshine all the way

Glendower Hotel. Lytham St Annes

Not my first visit to this venue. Perfectly placed for a wander to the sand dunes, and the venue itself ensured that Jess & John had the best day.

Great to work with one of the best DJs in the business again - Gary Mills, who ensured the party went with a bang,

Really enjoyed this day. The real start to a a few months of intense sunshine though...LOVE the wedding shades...

Not my first visit here. It was a very welcome return to this unique venue. Ellie & Joe knew they wanted a relaxed, chilled, party filled day, and that is exactly what they got.

An absolute pleasure to be a part of this.

Ashton Memorial. Lancaster

What a stunning place to hold your wedding ceremony. Couple that with a bride in a balck wedding dress - wow.

Gemma & Ryan hadn't banked on the insane heat, so it was fans all the way at this brilliant day.

Also the first ever time I'd photographed a "fake" 1st look - I have no words....

Barton Manor. Barton. Preston

Back again to my frequent venue, this time for the marriage of Charlotte & Sherry.

This couple were so lovely, and made for each other, and enjoyed every part of their day. They had their ceremony at Fulwood Methodist Church then back to Barton for the party. The evening was host by PC Roadshows - one of the best in the business

And fun fact - writing "Help Me" on the soles of your shoes is not done nearly enough in my opinion....
