Some places were just made to hold wedding ceremonies. Sandhole Oak Barn in the heart of the Cheshire countryside is one of the most idyllic locations in the North West and certainly one of my favourites. Situated next to a tranquil lake, it’s also a great backdrop for stunning wedding photographs.
Armed with my trusty camera and a range of different lenses, my first job is to capture the preparations leading up to the wedding celebrations for Sarah and John. This is usually one of the more intimate moments of the day where everyone is a bit nervous as we build up to the ceremony.
