Lora & Dave got married at Peckforton Castle<\/a>, with a String Quartet, Magician and Live Band! \u00a0Here’s their story…<\/p>\n

I arrived just after they’d finished breakfast, everyone was nice and calm, in fact\u00a0Lora was relaxing with a cuppa! Minutes later Sarah<\/a> & Rina<\/a> arrived, and the morning prep began! There was a little reorganising of furniture, as castles don’t tend to have the largest of windows (or the brightest of lights) but once chairs were positioned close to plug sockets and windows it was all systems go. \u00a0Sarah & Rina worked perfectly\u00a0together and not only was everyone ready on time, they looked absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n

The Great Hall at Peckforton Castle is an impressive sight when it’s empty – but it’s even more impressive when dressed. Ian Lloyd<\/a> did an outstanding job with the flowers, the bouquets were absolutely gorgeous as were the table centres and the flower arch! After a lovely ceremony Lora & Dave had\u00a0a quiet stroll around the grounds while I snapped a few photos of just the two of them. We then spent a bit of time doing the formal group shots on the lawn, while Derek Gustard<\/a>\u00a0worked his magic keeping everyone entertained. \u00a0While inside the string quartet “Carlton Ensemble<\/a>”\u00a0provided lovely\u00a0music, playing classical versions\u00a0of modern songs.<\/p>\n

After a\u00a0delicious wedding breakfast (and I can say that because I was treated to exactly the same meal) it was time for the speeches. \u00a0Their Toast Master Stephen Sanders<\/a>\u00a0eloquently\u00a0introduced the speeches, but more than that, he did an amazing job of making sure\u00a0everything ran like clockwork all day.\u00a0 Now, by the time the speeches came around I’d already overheard a few\u00a0people saying they were nervous\u00a0about one of the Best Men’s speech. Turns out, they had no need to be… \u00a0All the speeches were really good and more importantly, the Best Men didn’t reveal too many embarrassing stories!<\/p>\n

Lora & Dave’s wedding cake (made by Champagne Cakes<\/a>)\u00a0was causing quite a stir. On top of multiple tiers of cupcakes, stood a single tier cake and on top of that were miniature models of Lora & Dave. \u00a0The models not only looked just like them, but also had Dave in shorts. \u00a0I quickly learnt that he always wears shorts, in fact more than one guest said “I’m\u00a0surprised he’s not in shorts today!”.\u00a0 Using a knife to cut your cake at a castle wedding just isn’t right\u00a0– so you use a sword!<\/p>\n

After carefully avoiding their miniature selves\u00a0with the sword, it was straight into the first dance and the party! \u00a0Their live band\u00a0Supercharged<\/a>\u00a0kicked it up a gear and got the crowd up and dancing – including Lora’s Dad, who I must say had some killer moves… Sorry, I mean one\u00a0killer move but he used it well \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I had a lot\u00a0fun photographing\u00a0their Peckforton Castle wedding. \u00a0So I’d like to say a massive congratulations and thank you to Lora & Dave! \u00a0You’re a lovely couple, and along with all your\u00a0guests you\u00a0made me feel truly welcome and part of your\u00a0day.<\/p>\n

Here’s a few of my favourite photos…<\/p>\n
