Farington Lodge Wedding Photography – Heather & David’s Wedding

Farington Lodge Wedding Photography- Heather & David’s Wedding

Heather & David’s wedding was held on what seemed to have been the last sunny day of the year, I think its rained ever since. Farington Lodge with its beautiful Gardens and many backdrops is a gorgeous Lancashire Wedding Venue and we were so glad that they chose to book us as their Farington Lodge Wedding Photographer. The day started very calm & relaxed at the Brides parents house with Heather, her parents & bridesmaids. Then as I left came what I can only describe as crazy hour as I met David and the Bestmen & ushers at a local pub where they decided to give the Groom a ‘proper’ send off before leaving for the wedding ceremony at St Peters Church in the centre of Swinton. After a short drive we arrived at the reception with singers, canopes & pimms waiting for the guests and as the sun shone the day was filled with fun & laughter. Heather & David were an absolute joy to photograph and very much in love and their faces lit up as we shot some creative wedding photographs in the hotel gardens. I have to say one of our favourite parts of the day was the speeches, well done to Heathers Dad, David and the Bestmen for their hilarious rendition of how Heather & David first met.
A quiet moment with DadDavid at the church with the groomsmen trying not to make him laughIts always a special moment as Dad helps his Daughter out of the car, very emotional Now thats what you call a kiss…..A great reception from family & friends, the laughter never stopped all day The last shot from a great wedding as the sun had set & then the party really started..
Thanks to Heather,David and their family & friends for a great day we really was a laugh a minute and the weather just topped it off. D&J x If your planning a Wedding at Farington Lodge then please get in touch, we would love to capture all the fun & laughter at your Wedding

Gibbon Bridge Hotel Wedding Photography by David & Jane Stanbury

Gibbon Bridge nestled in the beautiful Trough Of Bowland is a stunning Lancashire wedding venue. Set in stunning gardens with views over the moors it is a wedding photographers dream. Sally & Michaels wedding was an outdoor event and as we arrived to a warm sunny day everything started to drop into place for a wonderful wedding. Sally was very relaxed as she and her bridesmaids had their hair & makeup done and I met Michaels with their son Freddie in their room. Well lets be honest Freddie was allways going to steal the show but Sally looked truly amazing as a very proud dad walked her thought the gardens to the gazebo. The weather was perfect for Sally & Michael and as guest chatted & drank Pimms, the children played & we shot some beautiful Images. This may have been the last summers wedding of 2013 but boy did we go out in style. A huge thanks to Sally & Michael for booking us as their Gibbon Bridge Wedding Photographer, I hope you love the images as much as we do……

A huge thanks to Sally,Michael and their family & friends for a wonderful day. If your planning your wedding at Gibbon Bridge and are looking for an experienced Gibbon Bridge Wedding Photographer then please get in touch, we would love to photograph your wedding. ttfn. D&J x

Rufford Old Hall Wedding Photography by David & Jane Stanbury

I am so glad that Tracey & Anthony decided to book me as their Rufford Old Hall wedding photographer for so many reasons but the main reason is they LOVE photography. Their wedding was simply beautiful, just 18 of their closest family made this wedding ever so special for us to photograph.Our brief was simple, 1 hour, anything we wanted,anywhere….. WOW, you dont get that every day and to make things better Rufford Old Hall is National Trust so the gardens are stunning…. a wedding photographers dream venue . Tracey & Anthony looked stunning and a joy to photograph (I could have spent all day) and Traceys smile was almost as bright as the gorgeous sunshine we had. Below are a small selection of my favourite images from a super day…. for you photographers out there all the images were shot on my Hasselblad and yes I did have fun

Tracey & Anthony then left for an intimate meal at Northcote near clitheroe to indulge their second passion cooking. If your planning or thinking about arranging your wedding and need an experienced Rufford Old Hall wedding photographer then get in touch, we would love to photograph your wedding. D&J x

Haigh Hall Asian Wedding Photography by David & Jane Stanbury

Part 2 of Bina & Bens Asian wedding at Haigh Hall say yet another dress change by Bina into a equally stunning traditional white wedding gown & Ben in a lounge suit. A very proud Dad walked Bina up the Aisle and after an emotional ceremony we managed to get another few minutes with Bina & Ben for some shots.

Haigh Hall Asian Wedding Photography – Bina & Ben’s Wedding Part1
Haigh Hall is a stunning Lancashire Wedding venue add to that the colour and tradition of the Hindu wedding ceremony and you have Bina & Ben’s wedding. Bina & Ben’s wedding was the combination of 3 days of festivities covered by us starting with Bina’s Mehndi and arrival of her stunning Wedding Dress. The wedding day started quietly with bridal makeup and as Bina was dressed by her family the excitement grew. Bina’s Wedding dress was stunning and I could have photographed har all day, but after the 2 hour ceremony we had only minutes to catch a few images as she then left to change for Part 2 of this fantastic wedding…..

Keep intouch as not to miss the second part of this awesome wedding, including a different wedding dress and a packed dance floor….. its worth the wait. ttfn.
