Chloé + Andy — Rowton Castle wedding

I remember when Andy, whom I have known for a few years, asked me if I would be the photographer at his wedding. It was late evening and I was just wrapping up another batch of processed photos thinking I’ve seen the last of the day when I received the message. Feeling excited, I thumbed through the calendar synced to my phone to make made sure I was free on that day, but luckily I had nothing scheduled, so naturally I agreed. Andy and Chloé are a fun couple to say the least, and fun couples make awesome weddings – it’s a scientific fact. Then I noticed that Andy mentioned venue they have chosen – Rowton Castle – and I knew it was going to be a blast. Although I have never photographed there at the time, I’ve heard enough about it to know if it’s a Rowton Castle wedding, it’s going to be epic.

Not long after we met up to have the engagement photoshoot at Heaton Park in Manchester. Most people feel a bit intimidated when placed in front of a big camera for the first time, and at first Chloé and Andy were no exception. They got used to it very quickly though, and fifteen minutes into the session they seemed to have been born to be in the spotlight. I was overjoyed – my dream wedding checklist had every box ticked: friends as the couple – check; extremely fun people – check; totally relaxed in front of the lens – check; one of the best wedding venues on this side of the globe – check.

Now, I could write a lengthy essay describing the actual wedding, how amazing Chloé and Andy were, and how grand every aspect of it was, but no amount of words could possibly convey it. Instead I’ll let the photos tell their tale. I just hope you enjoy exploring them as much as I did taking them!
