From the Edge of Wakefulness

Sandbach Wedding Photography – Vintage Wedding in Cheshire

This was one of those weddings that I’d been very much looking forward to since we booked it in the spring. Laura and Kevin are a great couple, and despite living just a stone’s throw away from me in Sandbach in Cheshire, found me via the internet. It was clear that they embraced the documentary style from the outset, and I’ve very much enjoyed having the opportunity to photograph their wedding.

It’s obvious that Laura and Kevin put a lot of effort into designing their own take on a post-war vintage style wedding reception, and the hall at St Mary’s Church in Sandbach was decked with beautifully assembled tributes to this period in history.

Bridal preparations were at The Chimney House in Sandbach, and ceremony was in main church building at St Mary’s.

Here’s a typewriter intended for messages of goodwill to the bride and groom, and which was rather monopolised by children.
