Louise & Lee’s film inspired Eaves Hall wedding

What can I say about Louise and Lee’s amazing Eaves Hall wedding? Where do I start?!

Well I think I’ll start with their pre-wedding shoot in Blackpool. We met on a lovely sunny day and basically spent two hours walking round, taking in the sights and having quite a bit of fun taking pictures! We walked along the pier, went on a carousel, got wet feet as the tide came in a lot quicker than we thought AND we went into Blackpool Tower to dance round the ballroom! So, after this I knew the wedding was going to be a big affair and lots of fun! I wasn’t disappointed as you will see!

This was a brilliant way to end my summer wedding season, perfect in fact! I arrived at The Lodge at Eaves Hall where the girls had started getting ready, we then walked up to the main house to finish off bridal prep, on the way I got a little taste of what was to come with the amazing cinema sign in the doorway! (see above) On entering the bridal suite Louise was greeted by a trail of rose petals leading to the bed where Lee had arranged for a bottle of Cristal and a lovely note to be left *sigh*

Once Louise was ready and her dad had seen her, giving me one of my favourite father & daughter shots of all time, it was time to head down to the ceremony room where Lee was waiting, slightly nervously, for his soon-to-be bride! I loved Louise’s face as she walked down the aisle, so full of happiness and emotion. The ceremony itself was short but sweet and there were a few happy tears shed!

Once the important bit was over it was time to celebrate! Lee had arrived at the venue in style, in Kitt from 80’s classic TV show Knight Rider and she got quite a bit of attention I can tell you! After a bit of mingling, some group photos and a monumental bouquet toss from the balcony I took the newlyweds off for a walk round the gardens so they could relax and take it all in. It was so easy photographing these two, they were happy, giggly, totally loved up and gorgeous, especially Louise, I adored her movie star make-up and the colours of her bouquet.

From there we got to see the room for the wedding breakfast and again, more beautiful details with inspiration taken from the couples’ love of movies, including mini bags of popcorn. The room looked fantastic I think you’ll agree? Speeches were loving and funny, of course slightly embarrassing for the groom just as they should be, then it was on to the party!

In the evening the guests were kept busy posing in the vintage photo-booth which was great fun, I even jumped in myself with the couple! The Deadbeats made sure the dance-floor was buzzing once the cake cutting and first dance were done. Then, just as the dancing was in full swing, everyone was ushered outside for one more surprise organised by Lee for his new wife. He only went and organised a bloody fireworks display didn’t he?! Amazing! And the “Most Romantic Husband Award” goes to…………..Mr Lee Sherrard!

Anyway, I’ll shut up now because you must be itching to see the pics?!

Louise & Lee, thank you so much for asking me to be a part of your big day, it was brilliant!! xxx
