Sandhole Oak Barn Wedding
Congratulations to Gayle and Richie who were married today at Sandhole Oak Barn in Congleton, Cheshire. Roadworks held up the Bride ! The registrars had another wedding booked after Gayle’s and at one point I thought we weren’t going to have a wedding, but fortunately Gayle arrived with minutes to spare ! Looking at the clock in the photo’s I think Gayle was about 35 minutes late…which was the record for this year !
So if you are getting married at Sandhole Oak Barn, have a look out for the traffic news on your wedding day !
A sneak preview of some of my favourite shots of the day !

The outside of the Barn, fortunately no rain, a little windy but we were happy enough with that ! From here you can just see the magnificent lake on the left.

Gayle and Richie’s wedding rings, beautiful, very similar to mine and Vicky’s [my wife !}


Richie getting a helping hand, or two ! Sandhole Oak Barn has some lovely guest bedrooms and I’d certainly recommend booking one if you are coming to a wedding here, saves the trip home !

The Father of the groom !


I think Richie was getting just a ‘little’ bit anxious at this point, 1o minutes late is a Brides prerogative, but even the most confident Groom will start to worry when we hit 30 minutes late !

Fortunately they managed to get through the traffic jams, with enough time to keep the registrars happy ! [Though I had to give up my time for any portraits beforehand as the registrars wanted Gayle in straight away.}

One proud Dad and Daughter, and a stunning Bride !

The waiting game was finally over! I gave Richie the thumbs up ! …and we had a wedding !

Gayle looked stunning ! …and Richie scrubs up quite good too !

Some wedding just oooze love ! This was definitely one of them this year !

A very proud daughter watching her Mum get married !

Unposed, natural moments, ‘real weddings’, that’s what we like. Gayle looks so happy here, moments like these are definitely ones to treasure !


There was a lot of love in the room, Gayle and Richie have got some great friends and you could see how happy they were to see their friends tie the knot !

Nearly there…

…and all done ! Another great wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn !

The fun bit, well not for some
The speeches always give wedding photographers ideal opportunites to take some great candids, natural, relaxed, unposed, perfect ! Just how we like it!

Sandhole Oak Barn is one of the larger wedding venues in Cheshire, it allows me to pop a nice long lens on my camera, go stand 100 feet away and pick off shots like this all day long!

…and this !

Funnily enough, living in Manchester, on the odd occasion there is a little bit of a football theme that sneaks in, this wedding had a little bit of Red !





Bouncy castle at Sandhole Oak Barn !
{Yes, sure it’s just for the kids
}

Let’s just say, this didn’t take much persuasion !



We had wanted to get the sunset, unfortunately the weather wasn’t playing nice and the cloud cover won in the end !
We did mange to sneak out later though, just for one final shot by the lake at Sandhole Oak Barn !
