As Wedding Photographers in Cheshire, we originally met Geof and Rachael at one of our previous Bride & Grooms weddings earlier in the year and subsequently they contacted us afterwards to discuss us photographing there wedding at Billinge Family Church and then on to the beautiful Rivington Hall Barn.
“Thank you so so much! The pictures are amazing!!! We love them all; don’t know how we’ll ever narrow it down! Came at just the right time too – the pictures have totally helped get rid of the back-to-work blues.
We had the most wonderful day ever and are so glad we chose you to photograph it all!” Geof & Rachael.
Geof and Rachael are such a lovely, happy couple and we were delighted when they asked us to photograph their Special Day.
On the day of the wedding it was a little cold but dry. Rachael was still at the hairdressers with her 3 bridesmaids when we arrived which gave us the opportunity to photograph her stunning dress, shoes and flowers and capture their arrival when they returned home. It was great fun with the girls as the excitement for the day ahead unfolded.
We then met Geof and his Best Man Russ at the Church with his other Groomsmen who were all in good sprits. The service was lovely and personal to Geof and Rachael and their 160 guests that joined them for the celebrations.
Once the larger groups had been photographed at the Church as not all the guests were able to join them at Rivington Hall Barn. This was the first time we had had the pleasure of photographing at this wonderful venue and we were so impressed with the Hall and Barn and had a great time capturing the Bride and Groom portraits around the grounds as Geof and Rachael’s guests enjoyed the canapés that were being served.
The Guests then entered the Barn for the wedding breakfast which showed its true beauty once it was fully dressed for the occasions. The speeches were fantastic and had all the guests laughing and enjoying the tales that were told of how Geof and Rachael first met and the events that led up to the day.
Geof and Rachael were joined by more guests for the evening reception where we left them after their First Dance to enjoy and dance the evening away.
If you are considering holding your wedding / civil ceremony or your wedding reception at Rivington Hall Barn then please do contact us – we would love the opportunity to discuss your wedding photography requirements with you both in more detail.
Below are a selection of our favourite images from Geof & Rachael’s wedding and we hope you enjoy looking through them as much as we did capturing them:
