I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Amy and Gareth at an amazing ceremony in one of the finest churches in Cheshire, St Mary’s in Eccleston followed by a fabulous reception just over the border in North Wales at the grand Llyndir Hall Hotel .

Amy arriving at the Church with her proud Father and being greeted by her fabulous girls. What a wedding. Brilliant.

Inside Gareth and his best man seemed very calm as the hour approached. It must be a long few minutes stood at the top of the aisle awaiting your loved one.

Eccleston Church has an amazing setting in this picture postcard village on the outskirts of Chester. Amy is escorted down the manicured drive.

The choir make a guard of honour to welcome Amy into the amazing and historic church of St Mary’s on the banks of the Dee at Eccleston. I love the cloud patterns overhead.

One last look around for Amy and the happiness is so obvious, a beautiful bride on a stunning day in Cheshire. I really adore the black and white finish on this wonderful wedding photograph.

The Vicar at Eccleston was kind enough to allow a few photos of Amu walking into the church but alas none of the ceremony.

Amy and Gareth leaving a magnificent theatre as Husband and Wife. It was such a pleasure to be part of their big day at Eccleston Church.

And a wider shot. The driveway is an amazing feature of St Mary’s and seems to go on for ages in this photograph.

I believe this to be the old well in Eccleston and it is a lovely spot! The wedding cars look very grand standing guard over the couple.

Amy and Gareth make their way to Llyndir Hall which is only a short drive over the border into North Wales. Eccleston is one of the last villages in England.

And Dad was not about to be out done and delivered a brilliant speech that Amy and Gareth will remember for a long time. I love the bottom right photo in the collage, Amy and her Dad all alone in the crowd.

Amy and Gareth all alone finally and in the stately gardens of Llyndir Hall, surely one of North Wales finest venues?

A rather wonderful tree to shelter young couple. The strength and tenderness is lovely. As is the sky!
