Stirk House Wedding Photographer

When Will & Clare contacted me, they told me I had shot a friend of Will’s wedding from football. I love getting direct referrals from previous couples. It’s always such a boost. From first speaking to them, I could tell we would hit it off. I mean, how can you not get excited when you’re talking about a summer wedding at Stirk House in Lancashire? And when they mentioned their adorable fox red Labrador, Arlo, would be in attendance, I was over the moon! Being a dog lover myself (I have three mini dachshunds), I’m all about furry friends at weddings.

The Wedding

The day was just filled with little moments that made everyone laugh and smile. I can’t tell you how many times I heard “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” being sung by Clare and her girls to keep those happy tears at bay! It turned into a sort of unofficial anthem for the day. Then, during the civil ceremony, the emotion hit a peak as I saw tears in Will’s Grandma’s eyes while she watched her grandson marry Clare. Just thinking about it still gives me chills!

With the sun shining down, guests enjoyed refreshing drinks and nibbles in the beautiful Stirk House grounds, making the atmosphere even more perfect.

When it came time for couples portraits, Clare and Will had said they were both nervous about being romantic in front of the camera. But honestly, they completely nailed it! They naturally clicked and had such a fun time during the shoot. We laughed together so hard. And let’s not forget about Dave, Stirk House’s own Toastmaster. What a guy! He’s got this incredible energy that matches mine perfectly. We always have the best time.

All The Dancing

As night fell, the dance floor erupted into an epic celebration. Everyone was ready to dance like no one was watching. But I was and they knew it! I’m usually on stealth mode during weddings, but not when it comes to the dance floor. I like to join everyone. I swear the energy in the room was contagious! The whole day felt so alive. There were so many amazing moments during Clare & Will’s day and I can’t wait for more wedding stories just like this one!
