The Wedding of Helen & Peter Wilding @ Our Lady Immaculate Church, Caton / Reception - The Midland Hotel, Morecambe

A beautiful warm Midland Hotel wedding in Morecambe on an Autumnal day where the sun shone during this lovely church wedding in Caton nr Lancaster. Helen's family live in Caton, nr. Lancaster where we started off with her getting ready and the church was literally a stones throw away at The Intimate Church of Our Lady Immaculate Church, Caton. Reception was (it seems like a second home now) The Midland Hotel in Morecambe where the atmosphere is always so chilled. Having fly-fished many times at Catons Bank House Fly fishery I knew this part of Lancashire very well.





The Ship Inn pub at Caton its lovely inside and out.

    

 

 

 





 


Peter's dad pulled out a surprize 'Hakka' for the newlyweds in the carpark, we were all scared at the brilliant expressions

The Wedding of Kirsten & Daniel at Lancaster's Ashton Memorial & Midland Hotel, Morecambe

Another beautiful wedding celebrated in October took us back to Lancaster's Ashton Memorial where the leaves were a rustic colour on the trees, the sky was without a cloud and was deep blue. Ashton Memorial was lit from the south side pretty much all the time we were there which provided me with some photo opps which I seldom get with summer weddings there. Kirsten and Dan provided the wedding compositions, heres a few of my favs so far from the day.

Then on to The Midland Hotel, Morecambe a beautiful Vintage Wedding Venue if your looking for that retro backdrop/ feel to your wedding. Speak to Vicky the Wedding Co-ordinator there.



We provided Kirsten the white umbrella, whilst Dan had a green one handy so we tried something a little bit arty with an old film rebate sloppy edging I picked up online.

Again just adding to the 'oldie worldie' feel of their dress code and the old Midland Hotel I have used a polaroid border to provide some novelty value with a low contrast hue in PhotoShop.

   

Yes - Battengurgh Cake!!



 


 
   

 

 

 

2011 Awards Night at The Hilton Hotel, Newcastle - The MPA/ Mario Acerboni

Debbie and myself drove up to our first MPA awards night presentation evening at The Hilton, Newcastle.
We drove up via the A1 which was a pleasant experience.
We had our pictures taken by the photographers there in the entrance and had some drinks.

The Wedding of Anna & John @ The Midland Hotel, Morecambe, Lancashire

A fabulous wedding starring the beautiful Anna taken at the very top of the Bridal Suite at (yes you guessed it) The Midland Hotel in Morecambe. Debbie and myself had been waiting for this wedding to come round and we were disappointed. We had it all lovely weather, beautiful location and a stunning bride to photograph.

It was a very bright day with a nice gentle warm breeze, and was a very humid day.

Brilliant vision above by Debbie - hell she's good!

Love the tone of this one above - classical.

Anna loooking a bit more serious, we like a variation of expressions

Just outside the bridal suite with a spotlight & tungsten light behind.

Anna's mother & brother make an entrance for the civil wedding.

Then Anna & her dad.
