Sam and Katy wedding - Chester July 2010

On July 24th we photographed the wedding of Sam and Katy at All Saints Church, Hoole, Chester. We met Sam and Katy earlier on in the year at the wedding of another Sam and Katie #1 (notice Katie with an "ie"). Yes, believe me, it got very confusing! They had been bridesmaid and usher at Sam and Katies #1 wedding and had watched us like hawks throughout their wedding. By the end of the day they said they were 90% certain they wanted us as their photographers! We were excited! A week later we had an email to say they were 100% certain they wanted us. We were uber-chuffed!
We knew this would be a very creative and original day and had heard little bits and pieces about their plans. One thing that they were very excited about was their plans for decorating the reception venue, which was the church hall attached to All Saints. Have you seen the movie "The Holiday"? If so you might remember the tent scene in which Jude Laws children are having a sleepover. Well, they wanted to capture that feel. It worked perfectly! As you will see in these photos there was so much originality about the day. Hand painted canvases, a plasticine modelling competition, red shoes, spotty umbrella, scrabble letters, sunflowers and vibrant purple dresses!

Whole lotta Mummy LOVE!

Its always important to remember the precious gift of having a loving mum. Both of us are so blessed! (Thanks Mum & Mum!) This Mothering Sunday we had prepared a little treat for one of our special friends with three wonderful children. While Lucy was working hard in her garden we did a secret photo-shoot with them. With some yummy LOVE biscuits and other LOVE props we had fun capturing her three lovely children. Well done to all our amazing "Mummy" friends and to all of our friends who are to become mothers this year (of which there are MANY!!!) x
