On Friday 6th August 2010, I had the pleasure of being the wedding photographer at the wedding of Nicola and Pete at Ridgmont House, Chorley Old Road, Horwich, Lancashire. Pete has recently been diagnosed with cancer, has a broken leg and Nicola, with support from friends and family organised the wedding in 3 weeks and did a truly remarkable job.
The day started for me with the Bridal preparations at Nicola's Mum and Dad's house. Ian and Eileen made me feel very welcome and already there were many nerves although bridesmaids Talia and Claudia (Nicola and Pete's Daughters) were very excited at the prospect of the day ahead. Nicola had already been to get her make up beautifully done with Maria at Spit and Polish in Blackburn. Pictures of some of the details of the day were taken, including the beautiful dress from Tie The Knot in Blackburn and Flowers from Ruth Marriner Flowers Blackburn. Nicola Parkinson was busy being the hair dresser and it was not long before it was time for everyone to get dressed up. It wasn't difficult to see the pride in Dad's eye as Nicola and the girls looked stunning in their dresses. A few shots were taken and then it was time to head over to Ridgmont to meet up with the boys. Nerves were apparent and once we had received the flowers that had been forgotten, we took a few shots with Pete, Best Man Duncan and Dad, Harold.
It was then time for the arrival of the bridesmaids followed by Nicola in the cars supplied by Darren Griffin. The personalized number plates were a great touch and just one of the many things during the day that was to show how much Nicola and Pete are loved. On to the ceremony, an emotional ceremony it was, but it wasn't long before we were in the company of the new Mr and Mrs Boardman.
The weather again, was good to us and the rain held off for the group photos and shots of Nicola and Pete and it was time for them to have their wedding breakfast before the speeches. The speeches were truly from the heart and delivered beautifully. It was then time to head into the evening celebrations.
I would personally like to make a few thank you's. First of all, Ian and Eileen for making me so welcome at the bridal prep. Darren, the wedding coordinator and his staff at Ridgmont House, not only for being a great help ensuring I was looked after and ready for a wet weather plan but also making their day special. Doreen and Harold for having a great son, Pete. Nicola and Pete, for being so wonderful on the day and finally Lee Carus of Simply Floors in Blackburn who asked me if I could photograph the wedding.
Below is a small selection of images from the day on a slideshow so sit down and hopefully you will enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed taking them as this wedding was an honour to be part of.
