Lizzie + Andrew

2nd October 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

It was one hell of a wait but eventually we got there and what a way to kick start the 2020 wedding season. Driving up I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but as soon as I got there I realised it was exactly the same. Love will always prevail and the sheer volume of emotion was at times quite over powering.

Lizzie and Andrew were due to get married in May but Covid put pay to that. Lizzie said they were desperate to get married as soon as the restrictions were lifted and at the end of July they tied the knot in front of allotted number of guests at Kirkby Lonsdale church. Outside the church people tuned into the live link that was been streamed to all corners of the globe via a live internet link. Next year with all the formalities complete they plan to celebrate in style with the mother of all parties!!

ELOPE

24th August 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

With the future of weddings as we know them slightly uncertain. I was lucky enough to be approached by one of my all time favourite venues, low hall the lakes to collaborate on a styled elopement shoot with some fabulous suppliers.

Elopements are great and for those of you that want the intimacy and the romance of a wedding without all the baggage this is the perfect option. Whether you want a picnic by the lake a hike up a mountain, a dreamy intimate ceremony in the woods, the beautiful library or maybe all of the above this is the perfect option.

They are fantastic to shoot as you get so much more time with the bride and groom to produce some incredible stuff.

The fantastic suppliers on this shoot are as follows:

Andrew + Caroline

23rd June 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

What an absolute honour it was to be asked to be the photographer for these two beauties. I met Caroline years ago in Greece and met her to be husband shortly after on a photoshoot. They then became the first couple I photographed and became the backdrop to my first website. Nearly ten years on and they got hitched in Carolines home country of Sweden. The day began in the super cool mjs in the heart of Malmo. Both Andrew and Caroline got ready here before we were whisked away in a limousine to a quaint little Swedish church in Fulltofta. We had a drizzle of rain as the heavens opened for what was about the first time in 3 months. The party moved onto the very grand fulltofta slotts and here the party started in earnest with speeches, laughs and dirty dancing re enactments…

KELLY + RICH

1st June 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

Oh my word what an incredible wedding this was. I don’t often venture much South of Chester but when I do its always epic. This was the first wedding I shot after my own and it couldn’t have been a better one to return to. Set in the Cotswolds Talton Lodge oozes cool. The mediterranean summer that year turned the stately home and gardens into something more at home on the French riviera and the tipi tent and surroundings was like a golden retreat. Kelly and Rich didn’t want the traditional wedding in the sense they were legally married the day before and then opted for an intimate humanist wedding with their friends and family the following day. This consisted of drinking wine and tying the knot. It also happened to be the day we beat the Swedes in the World Cup to which I spied only very few phones keeping tabs.Instead everyone was having far too much fun. The highlight however was an impromptu first dance at sunset outside to one of their pals playing a concertina.

KELLY + ANDREW

14th May 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

Don’t you just love a good barn wedding. Especially when its Browsholme set in the Ribble valley with beautiful surroundings. Andrew personified cool, calm and collected before Kelly arrived but later admitted he was absolutely papping himself as Kelly breezed down the aisle. An awesome couple, an awesome wedding and an awesome party…cheers to that!

ROB + TASH

7th May 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

So thinking back on old weddings and how could I forget this wedding by far the most epic!! I had no idea what was going to happen I don’t think Tash and Rob had any idea what was going to happen or how things were going to run especially when the heavens opened in the morning but an incredible wedding happened none the less. Cartmel priory was the setting and then onto Crtmel race course on RACE DAY for the reception. It was just like any other wedding, a beautiful marquee, some top notch food, plenty of wine and fizz a bit of dancing and some pictures. Only we threw 6 races, a few thousand punters, betting stalls, dodgems and a fun fair…This wasn’t just epic it was insane!!!!

LAURA + RYAN

26th April 2020 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

So its pretty safe to say Im pretty useless at keeping unto date with blog posts. Seen as we are in lockdown now and unable to photograph weddings I thought it was the ideal time to maybe just maybe catch up on a few blogs. Its an old one but it’s definately a goodie and seen as the post was already half done I thought it would be rude not to share such beautiful wedding. Laura and Ryan got married way back in May 2017 at Natland church and went from there onto the daffodil which offers some of the best lakeland views cumbria has to offer.

NATALIE + MATT

18th April 2018 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

So we look forward to every wedding as a photographer, so many different special memories there to be captured means each and every wedding is special and unique in it’s own way. There is always the one wedding that stands out for you though, the one you really, really can’t wait for and that you’ve been excited about ever since you took the booking. And it doesnt come much better than Tuscany, an absolute gem of a place. Beautiful open countryside, amazing food, even better wine and villas aplenty. Let me tell you this wedding had it all!!!

KATIE + TOM

19th March 2018 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

This really was a dream to photograph, a fair themed wedding with an awesome fun loving couple in Dunham Massey. The idea of making everything yourself and really going to town on DIY for weddings can really scare people but these two embraced it and absolutely nailed it. From coconut shires to the table decorations and everything in between this really had everything. I was fortunate enough to have kelly from kelly annes photography second shooting with me for the day and with the ever so talented jb shooting the video we were onto a winner.

LOIS + LEON

9th March 2018 by Joe Mather Leave a Comment

Well it might be a while since they got wed and my blogging has not exactly been kept upto date but that doesn’t mean its too late. I’ve gone and made 10 new blogs from the last couple of years and I’m going to share them all over the coming weeks, they are all amazing weddings with heaps of individuality from some of my favourite local venues and a couple from a little further afield. To say Im a little excited to share these is an understatement. Kicking things off though is this one. Park House Barn is a firm favourite of mine, the 16h century barn is incredible and was as good as I’ve seen it look for Leon and Lois’s big day, the bunting and lighting made for some great dramatic shots. Having known Leon from years ago playing football it was great to meet Lois who was equally as cool and laid back… What a cracking wedding!
