Hayley & Steve - Crewe Hall - 29th December 08

I shot my last wedding of the season with my good friend Matt Pereira, who had travelled up to spend a few days with us, giving me some moral support and ensuring I had cover in case I needed to go home (as John had only been out of hospital for a few days) ... I absolutely LOVE shooting with Matt, we work very well together and always kick butt on the photos !! Hayley and Steve's wedding was no exception and I am very excited to be blogging the photos :)

We arrived at Crewe Hall to shoot the bride and groom preps, to find a rather large fire truck outside !!! The main chimney had caught fire in the early hours of the morning and so people had been evacuated, including my bride *eek* ... by the time we arrived, though, the fire was under control and Hayley was back in her suite ... we just needed to calm Steve's nerves ! So I sent him off with Matt for some cool photos in the suite and then in the bar ... and of course with the fire truck !

The day was wonderful, the guests had a great time, we were freezing, but nobody cared and we just got on with it ! Great laugh, no rain and, well, some cool shots as well ... here you go !

Steve ...

His brother and best man, Lee (sorry, ladies, he's taken !)

Off to the church ...

You can just about see Matt to the right of this photo ...

Paparazzi :)

Hayley & Steve's little daughter ... gorgeous !

Some emotional, but fun, speeches ...

The last shutter click of 2008 (at a wedding, anyway !!)

Thanks for having us, guys ... what a great day ! Wishing you every happiness as you start your journey together :)
