Gavin and Lucy, what can I say?

Well, this isn't really me copping out, but I'm not going to say much about them. I really think that these pictures are a true reflection of their personality. That's not meant to make me seem like a photographer genius, it's just all about Gavin and Lucy.  So, I'm really going to struggle to not say anything about these two. Just enjoy.

I remember our wedding day. I don't remember the actual ceremony, but I do remember that it was great. I think I must of been a total scatter brain, which will come to no surprise to some of you but felt I just felt so nervous for no reason at all.
When you look at these pictures, just look at Gavin's face. He's doing what I tell all my couples to do; Stop and look around because your day will fly by so quickly its ridiculous. I bet Gavin and Lucy remember their ceremony so well and hopefully these pictures will help them.

They booked me after seeing another wedding in Manchester Town Hall, followed by the wedding reception in Didsbury.
Lucy and Gavin's wedding was held in the church, followed by an intimate but really fun wedding at Eleven Didsbury Park Hotel. I loved the hotel with its New York theme and gorgeous garden.
Little touches really made this a fun and unique day. Cinematic Orchestra played during signing of the register, Champagne in vintage tea cups and lace bunting tied to the trees were just some of the things that made the day so...Gavin-and-Lucy.

I'll hand the pictures over to you now.

Hello everybody. I hope you had a great weekend. A little fact that I can't let go of (and Jessica is more than ready for me to drop it now...) is that this weekend, I've been taking pictures for 24 hours. A 14 hour wedding, followed by a 10 hour one. I can't wait to show you some of the pictures.
You'll love them I know.

A couple of weekends ago, I travelled up to Manchester to meet a couple who booked me months ago (It feels like years though!)
Gavin and Lucy are getting married at Eleven Didsbury Park Hotel, a really beautiful hotel in Didsbury, just a few minutes outside of the city centre. We ended up shooting in Didsbury, but we shot around the city a little to start off, concentrating on the Northern Quarter; Jessica's old stomping ground!

For a change(!) Lucy and Gavin are just the same as my other couples, just generally pretty darned awesome and not looking for any pompous displays at their wedding. They just want their guests to enjoy their day. Simple; a nice meal, a few speeches, games in the garden and drinks. Sounds perfect to me!
Also, I have strongly expressed my intentions of beating everybody at Garden-Jenga, Simply put, I haven't and won't be beaten.

Enjoy these pictures from Gavin and Lucy's engagement shoot in Manchester, and look out for their wedding later in the year! Should be great one!

I do love a shoot in the city!

I've taken a liking to strong shadows recently, so this was a perfect little spot for me!

And I'm a big fan of street art. Manchester (and Bristol of course) are great cities to discover amazing artists!

This is when we started to shoot in Didsbury, in a beautiful park called Fletcher Moss Park. For years, this has been Gavin and Lucy's "own" garden!

Great smiles + Great light = A happy photographer.

I've really fallen for this picture. I love the light just slightly catching Lucy's great smile!

And this right here is the moment where Gavin lost his car keys! D'oh! Thank you daffodils for letting us crush you. Sorry.

Lucy is a real smiler! I love her face in this picture!

Thank you guys!
I loved spending the evening with you talking about music and fixed gear bikes (Gavin, you've really turned me onto fixies now, I just have to work on these calf muscles)

I hope all enjoyed these pictures. Like I said earlier, look out for their wedding pictures in a few months!
Have a good week.
