It’s always extra special when friends ask you to document their wedding day. I’ve known Zoe forever and Mick quite a while now too. It was a rare dry day between Christmas and New Year that Ray and I headed over to The Abbey House Hotel at Barrow in Furness. We arrived around 9.30 and things were well on their way for Zoe and her bridesmaids. Jo from Kellie Hughes  had been working his magic on the girls hair before I arrived. So this is how their wonderful day unfolded.

Zoe and Mick thank you for asking Ray and I to document your wedding day and to be part of it too we had a wonderful time… love Kirsten & Ray xx

A little while ago Ray and I traveled to Kendal to document Helen and Sam wedding, we had a good journey North and the sun was shining for us. On arrival Helen was already in her dress I get the feeling she was so very excited! Lots of chatter while the girls had their hair and make up done and plenty of tea and cake to go round. Helen is very creative and had put so much effort in to her wedding day, the invites she designed and printed herself, all the bunting for the venue, the name cards and even made slow gin marmalade gin and blackberry vodka.

Thank you Helen and Sam for asking Ray and I to document your amazing special day xx K xx

Sometimes it’s just meant to be, a chance, a moment, kismet a meet cute or fate. For Sam & Christina this is so true, they really did just bump into each other. A bit of cheeky banter and a date was arranged…. they’ve never looked back since.
These two are so connected, they wear their love for each other on their sleeves it’s so plain to see the ‘LOVE’. With so much love and support from all their family and friends this day was going to be magical.
I started at Christina’s parents where all the girls had just returned from the hairdressers looking beautiful, there was champagne and surprises, chatter and laughter fill the room.

A special thanks to Sam and Christina for asking Ray and I to document your wonderful day. It was extra special for me as Sam and I went to college together to study photography. Sam is a talented wedding photographer too Sam Sanders Photography check his Facebook page for recent work
