We were on the other side of the pennines again on Saturday for Samantha & Paul’s wedding near Blackburn. We were so lucky with the weather as it turned out to be a bit of a scorcher. Fantastic for Sam & Paul, but a bit tricky photography-wise!
Both Sam & Paul were getting ready at their reception venue, the gorgeous Stanley House Hotel, so it was fun watching Paul scuttle into the gents to avoid seeing his wife to be as she arrived with her entourage! Stanley House is a new venue to us, but one we’d love to work at again. It’s just the kind of place we like working in with stunning contemporary interiors, pretty gardens and beautiful sweeping vistas over the hills.
Anyway, once everyone was in their finery it was off to the nearby St. Peter’s church for the ceremony. It’s another beautiful church – we’ve worked in so many lovely ones recently. After that, Sam and Paul piled into an amazing open top Rolls Royce for their journey back to Stanley House, and after drinks, confetti and photos in the sunshine it was time for the wedding breakfast.
The room looked stunning and Sam & Paul (well, Sam really I think!) had put so much thought and effort into decorating the tables – it looked really magical. After an evening reception involving limbo dancing and a Village People tribute by 5 of Paul’s mates, I left everyone having a blast and tootled off back home.
Sam & Paul, we had such a fantastic time t your wedding. We’re looking forward to catching up with you again soon.
Best wishes
Phil & Lou xx
