Eleanor & Jack | Beeston Manor Wedding Photography

Eleanor and Jack were married on the 1st May at the beautiful Beeston Manor, exactly 10 years after their very first date — making their wedding day even more special.

Their day was also the very first outdoor ceremony at Beeston Manor, surrounded by the stunning Lancashire countryside and all their favourite people.

One of the loveliest moments of the day was the “flower nans” sprinkling petals down the aisle before the ceremony began. Eleanor’s Grandad also did a heartfelt reading, making the ceremony incredibly personal and emotional.

Afterwards, guests enjoyed Mrs Dowsons ice cream and delicious hors d’oeuvres in the sunshine after an amazing confetti throw the guests did such a good job!

Following family photos and fun bridal party portraits, we later took Eleanor and Jack away for some relaxed couple photographs around the grounds of Beeston Manor.

The speeches were the perfect mix of emotional and funny before the evening celebrations began with cake cutting, a choreographed first dance and an incredible party with The Hush Party wedding band.

It was such a joy to photograph this beautiful Beeston Manor wedding and capture so many relaxed, natural, fun and emotional moments throughout the day.

A beautiful September wedding set in the stunning grounds of Abbeywood Estate, absolutely bursting with flowers and colour. As a North West wedding photographer based near the Ribble Valley, I love travelling to venues like this across Cheshire and Lancashire – and this one was such a joy to capture.

We were so lucky with the weather, as Ed and Kristina’s ceremony took place outdoors, surrounded by nature and their favourite people.

Let’s rewind to the morning…

Ray and I travelled down the night before, staying locally so we could be fresh and ready to capture both sides of the preparations. When I arrived with Kristina, hair, makeup, and champagne were already in full flow—there was such a lovely buzz in the room, full of laughter, excitement, and those special pre-wedding moments.

The bridal suite gave us the perfect calm space to photograph Kristina’s dress and all those beautiful little details before the day really began.

Meanwhile, the boys were exactly as you’d hope—super relaxed and (almost!) ready on time. Before long, they headed off to greet guests, and it was time for the main event…

Ed and Kristina’s ceremony was heartfelt and full of emotion—beautiful readings, meaningful vows, the exchange of rings, and of course, sealed with a kiss. They walked back down the aisle to cheers and smiles before heading straight into a joyful confetti throw.

The afternoon flowed effortlessly—guests mingling, delicious canapés, family photos, relaxed wedding party moments, and plenty of natural, candid images (with a few quiet moments just for the two of them too).

Then came speeches—full of laughter, stories, and a few emotional moments—followed by incredible food and that lovely relaxed atmosphere that makes a wedding feel truly special.

As the evening set in, we had sparklers, cake cutting, the first dance, and a live band to bring everything to life.

But my absolute favourite moment?

The girls’ hockey team taking to the dance floor and perfectly pulling off the iconic Dirty Dancing lift to “Time of My Life”. Not only did they lift their teammate (the bride!), but also the groom, the mother of the bride, and the father of the bride… and honestly—they nailed it every time! You’ll have to keep scrolling to see that one!

Marriage is not a union, it’s a process. It’s about giving your partner the benefit of the doubt, forgiving them for their shortcomings, and choosing to love them every day.
