White Hart wedding + Saddleworth Bus Trip!

Never seen quite as big a civil ceremony at the White Hart, the room looked great. The knots around the cake is a climbing related, which is how Paul and Francesca met. Loved their personalized vows, they added some real emotion and laughter to the ceremony.
As a lot of their guests were from London, a bus trip had been planned to show everyone the area. Leaving Saddleworth we headed up to the Carriage House near Marsden.
The weather hadn’t been great the day before so I was amazed that Francesca wanted to get out on the way and have photos taken. Looking along the path, seeing the puddles, really? No problem!

Flowers – Eden flowers, Uppermill

Carla & Mark – Oldham Parish Church / Saddleworth Golf Club

I’ve wanted to photograph a wedding at Oldham Parish Church for a long time. It more than lived up to expectations on a rainy June 9th. The rain on the stone flags reflected the pretty light coloured bridesmaid dresses and the light on the bridesmaids as they waited in the arched doorway was perfect.

It rained till late on at the Saddleworth Golf Club reception but the group shots went smoothly inside with great help from the best men and Carla & Mark made the most of a short walk after the meal between showers.

Just after this wedding I was experimenting with some black and white techniques, looking back at some Ilford film to see if I could emulate the silvery tones. I’ve picked out a few to show in colour so you can see the colour of the dresses and put a bigger gallery together for black and white fans.
