That's right... it was forecast to rain all day on 14th July 2023, and rain it certainly did. The weather however didn't stop the bride and groom from having a great time!
This wedding was an intimate affair. The party comprised of just ten people, including the stars of the show Alice and Matthew. I think these smaller weddings work so well as the bride and groom get to spend more quality time with the people they're closest to.
Photographed over just a four hour period, this is a nice example of what memories can be captured with my half-day wedding photography package.

The day started a Fernilee Methodist Church, with a great ceremony which lasted around one hour.
I think it was raining pretty much every minute I was outside taking photos. Don't worry if bad weather is forecast for your big day; I always have wet weather gear for my cameras and umbrellas for the bride and groom at the ready.

A brave time to get married! Alice and Matthew's baby was due just 9 days after the wedding. Cue a picture of the 'family of three' to be.
If anything, the bad weather made the photoshoot even more fun.
After the ceremony, it was on to The Old Hall Inn in Whitehough, Chinley. The party had booked a private room there which was ideal for this occasion. Personally I think the Old Hall is hard to beat when it comes to food quality as well as being a beautiful venue.
With Alice and Matthew running unexpectedly late to the Inn, a phone call was made to check on progress. It turned out the infamous A6 traffic was to blame.
In my head however, the image above captures an important call to a mafia boss.
The happy couple finally arrived, not too waterlogged.

Congratulations again to the happy couple.
