THE TIME OF OUR LIVES

THE TIME OF OUR LIVES A look back at 2022 through the lenses of the region’s wedding photographers

What a wedding-packed year it’s been – 2022: our first full year of restriction-free celebrations since the start of the pandemic. Surely it’s one for the history books. Our local wedding suppliers have never been so busy turning their couples’ wedding dreams into longawaited reality. “Finally” is certainly a word we’ve heard a lot this year! Before we bid farewell to 2022 we asked the region’s wedding photographers to guide us on a look back at their year’s highlights. They’ve been rushed of their feet and are no doubt ready to put them APRIL 30TH | KATIE & SIMON up in front of the fire and enjoy some Christmas telly, but we reckon they This was the first of our drone wouldn’t have it any other way. shots.

21ST | EMMA AND BEN “This was a gorgeous wedding at The Barn at Yew Tree Farm, Liverpool. I particularly like the elegance and sense of love from this shot. Ben wasn’t too keen on having his photo taken, but really found his stride by mid-afternoon.” – Andy, Andy J Photography

13TH | ASHLEA AND STEPHEN “When I entered this room at Soughton Hall for the first time, the detail, texture and grandeur of the backdrop took my breath away. I love the contrast of the bride’s dress against the intricate detail of the wall, which is one of the many reasons why I love this image.” – Ryan, RW Photography

17TH | EMILY AND ANDREW “I love the way the sunset fell onto the backdrop creating a stunning silhouette, not just of the couple but also the stunning scenery behind. This is one of my favourites as I love to see peoples’ reactions when I tell them how I jumped into the pool to get this angle!” – Ryan, RW Photography 23RD | MEGAN AND RYAN “My aim on wedding days is to get my couples relaxed so I can capture their natural reactions where they aren’t worried about me, or the camera. I really feel this image captures the fun and laughter that I want all my couples to have on their big day, making sure focus is on them enjoying every second.” – Ryan, RW Photography
