Ready to rock through life!
A picture of elegance & grace.
A whole lotta giggles getting Jessica our bride, bridesmaids, flower girl, Mum and Mum in law all together in the Loft preparation suite at The Oaktree, Peover, Cheshire.
Add in hairdresser, makeup artist, our photographer Karen & their videographer Tom Ratcliffe!
Organised chaos as the amazing talents of make up artist and hairdresser work their magic, while the ladies have a little fizz & fun.
Andrew is off with the boys.
Lookin’ good!
Karen gets to work arranging dresses and all the little details for photos then getting them back to the right person’s collection. It’s an art!
Once all the girls are ready, we have a little time for some gorgeous shots of Jessica in all her radiant glory. Some quiet time while she waits for Dad to come and escort her to her waiting groom.
As with so many celebrations this year, the rain put paid to the hopes of an outdoor ceremony, so everyone gathered in the light, airy Ladybird Room to await her arrival.
All smiles as she arrives. Now for the serious bit…
Keeping a straight face while Adam makes his vows. Good job she can’t see her brother behind her with her bouquet. That’s what brothers are for.
The ring.
A never ending circle for never ending love.
We did it!!
Now for some quiet time together
( while Andrew & Karen take photos).
The beauty of having 2 photographers. Andrew gets the drone up to get a great view of the venue’s grounds. While Karen gets the rear view. Here comes the rain again. Someone really should write a song about that. Ruuunnn!
Ah, well might as well take advantage of the ‘liquid sunshine’.
Any excuse for a kiss with the new Mrs Williams.
Wet outside?? We’ll play golf indoors then! It was a veeery competitive round.
Let the party begin, everyone’s ready for feasting and toasting.
When your new wife is as stunning as this, ( and there’s a lull in the rain falling )you just have to take her for a walk around the relaxing grounds around The Oaktree venue.
Just a couple of photographers and a videographer for company.
At the old oak tree. giving the venue it’s name.
The wildflower meadow makes a lovely area for a quiet walk.
After your wedding breakfast. Away from the excitement at the bar & games. Time to tell your beautiful wife how amazing she looks and chat about the fabulous culmination of all your planning together.
Did we mention it keeps raining??
We are constantly keeping a keen eye out for the possibility of the gorgeous sunsets in the view over the wildflower meadow.
It’s going to happen, lets go quick!
Hold on, where’s the groom?
Do you remember the ‘Ready to Rock’ at the top of the page?? Yes, he’s a drummer. So he’s busy doing a sound check with his band ready for the evening’s extra special performance. Priorities!!!
Never mind, Jess looks so romantic with the evening light & mist from the rain behind her. She’s a star ( and fully prepared for life as a drummer’s wife).
What’s that coming over the grass?? Is it a husband??
Wow, he made it just in time for the perfect shot.
What the heck, let’s take full advantage.
Another benefit of 2 photographers, 2 slightly different angles creating 2 different shots. Aaaanddd off he runs, back to the other love of his life, the drums.
LET’S ROCK!
Show us those horns and get the party started. Amazing floor fillers from the incredible rock band ‘Hustle’. An amazing set from them to get everyone on their feet & testing their vocal chords. It’s quite hard to take unblurry photos while you’re rocking along.
A quick dance for Mr and Mrs Williams.
Then it’s time for Adam to bring on his own band for a short, fantastic set of their own.
Dancing in the dark.
A beautiful finale to a wonderful day. Even the wet ground adds a great reflection.
