We had a great time shooting Kerry and Ben's wedding on 30th May. The weather was absolutely scorching and it helped to create the perfect setting for some beautiful photos. Kerry had opted for a fairytale horse and carriage ride to the church, so it was a great relief that the weather was so lovely!
Family, friends and guests can access an online gallery of a selection of wedding photographs here. The password is their married name in lowercase, plus an exclamation mark e.g. smith!
We started the day in Blackburn with the guys who weren't nervous in the slightest when we arrived. Kerry had instructed us to ensure we got pictures of them with her hanging baskets outside that she had got specially for the occasion.
We then moved on to Samlesbury where Kerry and the bridesmaids were getting ready. Kerry's chief bridesmaid was Ben's sister, Vicky, who was accompanied by three beautiful little girls, her own daughters Molly and Poppy and Kerry's little girl Abby. Kerry's son Alex was a very proud page boy.
Kerry wore a stunning beaded dress which was from Dan Kerr of Preston and her veil was trimmed with swarovski crystals. The bridemaids' dresses were from the Glass Slipper in Chorley. Her bouquet was red roses and cala lilies and was by The Enchanted Garden in Blackburn.
Kerry chose to make a grand arrival at the church by horse and carriage, which really added to the fairytale atmosphere. She did arrive a little late, but it kept Ben on his toes!
The ceremony took place at the church of St.Leonard the Less Samlesbury, which was particularly relevant as Kerry went to school at the primary school next door.

After a short drive in a mercedes, Kerry and Ben climbed into the horse and carriage again where they were safely delivered to Ribby Hall for their reception. This was the first wedding we had photographed at Ribby Hall and we were extremely impressed with the staff, who were very accommodating.
We managed to take lots of photos around the venue and got some particularly lovely shots by the fountain at the front of the hotel. It was so hot at this part of the day!
Alex returned in the evening to take photos of the cutting of the cake and the first dance. The couple chose "Don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith for this special moment.We wish Kerry and Ben every success for the future in their new lives together.
