Taking your wedding vows… is a serious business??
Not here!! But when your bride looks so beautiful, you have to laugh or cry.

The stunning bespoke bouquet.
Abi chose vibrant natural flowers. Locally grown & crafted by the amazingly talented Rozz Darlington https://www.theflowerpaddock.co.uk/. Simple, stunning & survived the rigours of a warm wedding day.

Joy in the courtyard after the wedding ceremony.
Lots of colourful confetti. Plain pink just wouldn’t do. Just a little kiss as a brand new husband and wife.

The brand new Mr & Mrs.
The Lion & Swan is a historic inn, full of stone work & black & white timbers. The iconic front steps are the perfect back drop. Abi’s stunning wedding dress from Wed2be. https://www.wed2b.com/bridal-shops/midlands/staffordshire/wed2b-stoke-on-trent. the modern leaf details flowing as she walked. Dan’s dapper suit came from Slaters menswear https://www.slaters.co.uk/

Not your average Bride & Groom portraits.
But they not your average couple!

She still has her wedding ring.. a whole 20 minutes after.
They chose their rings from Crewe local independent jewellry specialist John Pass. https://www.johnpass.co.uk/.
Simple, strong & everlasting. Just as their marriage is.


A walk in the park..

The Lion & Swan, being set in Congleton benefits from being a 10 minute walk from the fabulous Congleton park, so off we trotted for some fun with this bunch of bridesmaids, bridesman & groomsmen. Yes, it was chaotic, yes it was brilliant!
There was even a little quiet ‘Mr & Mrs’ time in the gorgeous wildflower garden. Just a couple of bonkers wedding photographers hiding amongst the blooms!


‘Traditional’ couple portraits..
Dan’s chance to admire his gorgeous wife. Enough of the formal stuff…

Lets get this party started!
There’s a secret hidden below at The Lion & Swan. RADLEYS! The fantastic party venue tucked in the basement. What an atmosphere. Games, bar, food, music & dancefloor. Everything a great party needs.

Dancing in the dark.
Our famous bubble machine and coloured lights for something a little different!

Celebrate good times.
The champers in the wine racks at Pecks were not impressed at the shenanigans outside with their distant fizzy cousins. Abi & Dan had fun, not so sure about Abi’s poor brother in law who just happened to come by & get a soaking!
A grand day for great people.
