Meols Hall. Southport. April 24

I love this venue, and look forward to visiting every time. Emily & Joe celebrated in style. What a great bunch of family & friends they have, which truly made their day fun and special. This venue is amazing, with huge grounds for photos. The main barn turned into party central in the evening, with music from The Roost - a brilliant 3 piece band that I can highly recommend.

Inn on the Lake. Glenridding. April 24

I won't lie. Driving to the venue over the Kirkstone Pass in the morning, looking at the thick low level cloud - I was worried. If you book this venue - you want to be able to experience the simply insane views out the back. I had everything crossed for Abi & Dale, and after a wet start to the day, we were blessed with sunshine and incredible skies. This place is a photographers dream, however, so were the couple, and it was an absolute pleasure being part of their day.
