On 6th May 2011, We photographed the wedding of Jonny and Gemma at Bartle Hall near Preston and what a fantastic day it was. The weather was fantastic, location superb and we knew we were in for a great day. The day started with myself and partner Jan arriving early to put the Dress into the Bridal Suite along with the beautiful flowers from The Flower Shop By Morgan in Garstang. Jan had made the dress for Gemma and we wanted it to be all ready for her arrival. Gemma arrived along with Bridesmaids, Fran and Hayley and it was immediately clear that they were very excited about the day. So myself and co-photographer for the day, Mac, got to work capturing a little of the preparations. It wasn't long before it was time to go down to meet the boys at the Balmoral suite. They were running fashionably late so just a few photos and laugh and jokes with Jonny, Best Man Dave and Usher Stu.
It was then back up to the Bridal suite to meet up with Gemma who was now in her dress and she looked absolutely beautiful as did the Bridesmaids Hayley and Fran. So a couple of minutes of photographs and an attempt by Gemma's Dad to knock her out with a champagne cork and it was time to make our way down to the ceremony where a nervous Groom was waiting. The ceremony went well with Jonny deliberately stuttering on a few words to make sure his friends had a giggle, but it wasn't long before we were in the presence of the new Mr and Mrs Whitehead.
The rest of the afternoon followed the format of a few formal group photos and a walk around the Bartle Hall grounds with Jonny and Gemma and a quick shot of the fantastic cake by The Cake Lady in Blackpool. The speeches were at the beginning of the Wedding Breakfast and this is was when Jonny took the opportunity to lay down a few ground rules about toilet seats and football. I wish you luck Jonny with that one.
Finally, the evening function was upon us with great music by Alltrack Promotions and we had the studio set up so the guests can come along and have some fun and get some memorable shots done.
As a wedding photographer in Lancashire and principal photographer with Leeds Wedding Photographer Mark Pearson Photography, we are is such a privileged position to be part of such fantastic days. On behalf of myself and co-photographer Mac, I would like to thank the guests for being great fun and all the staff at the superb Bartle Hall who helped us on the day to ensure the day was a wonderful success.
Now please take time to watch the videos below. The first is of a few images from the wedding. The second is of the evening frolics and the third shows Gemma's dress being made.
