Wedding Photography at Worsley Golf Club
A fairly dull afternoon, with a wonderful view and a great couple. What a wonderful opportunity.
Wedding Photography at The Holiday Inn in Bolton
All wedding venues have good and bad points. Some make you work harder as photographer, whilst others can cause you to become complacent. The Holiday Inn in Bolton is a venue that makes a photographer earn his money.
The Light Painted Bride
This is an image from last year that seemed to have all the right ingredients, but just fell flat on the light test. The background was just far too dark to have any kind of detail in the hedges or bushes. If I opened it up for the bushes, the sky instantly blew out, and I lost any kind of atmosphere from the setting
Wedding Photography at the Fisherman’s Retreat, Ramsbottom
The Fisherman’s Retreat is an amazing opportunity for any bride and groom when it comes to their wedding photography. The interior is amazing, and the staff are second to none.

Wedding Brochure Photography
This was the first outing for the Elinchrom ELB400 in early spring 2016. This particular image was among the last to be shot on that day.
