Back In February 2009 we covered the wedding of Caroline & Rob at Belmount Hall in the lakes. Nina's sister Laurie is a close friend of Caroline and so recommended us to Nina when planning their wedding. We're happy to cover weddings all over the UK as we really enjoy working at new venues.
Stanley House is near Mellor in Lancashire, and is a fantastic venue with gorgeous grounds and a contemporary interior. It's actually split into two buildings, the Grade II listed original house with 12 bedrooms, and a modern building with various wedding suites and the restaurant.
The ceremony was lovely, and Nina commented afterwards that she wished she hadn't been as nervous beforehand as it was much less nerve-wracking than she'd imagined. Nina & Brendan's daughter Georgia was a fantastic flower girl, with her trusty friend Smudge the Cat accompanying her all day to help with her duties!
We headed next door for the drinks reception & canapes and thought the mini fish & chip cones were brilliant! There was also a surprise birthday cake for little Sophia as she was celebrating her first birthday - she loved the cake, although tried to grab the candles before Dad helped blow them out!
As Nina & Brendan's wedding was an intimate do, all the guests were able to be seated around one large table for the wedding breakfast, which was decorated beautifully with gifts of cupcakes for the children, pink roses for the ladies, and rosemary for the guys - we've looked into this one and rosemary was given as a symbol of remembrance in Victorian times.
We were so pleased to be able to cover Nina & Brendan's big day, they're a fantastic couple and we wish them all the best for the future. To see their full gallery please click here, in the meantime here are some of our favourite shots from the day.
