Katie & Kevin were to be married at their local church, St Chads in Cheadle. I met Katie in the morning to get a few shots of everyone getting ready, then headed to the church to get photos of the guys arriving (and going for a quick drink before the ceremony!)

Sausage & bacon sandwiches were prepared for everyone.

Bride & Groom Interview

How did you meet?

We met at work – Kev was the lifeguard and Katie worked in the kids club, Kev pushed me into the pool in front of all the kids and then took me on a date to make it up to me.

The Proposal

We booked a last minute holiday to New York, Kev pretended he wanted this picture from Brooklyn of the New York sky line and that was why we had to go over there. When we got there, there was a group of teenagers having a mini photo shoot – I didn’t understand why he was taking so long to get a picture but he was trying to wait until they had gone as I would have hated the idea of loads of people being there.

What inspired your choice of wedding venue?

Both our parents were married at the Deanwater Hotel – we looked at loads of other venues before this one but it was perfect when we got there.

Is there any advice you’d like to give other couples who are at the start of planning their wedding?

Don’t stress all those things that you think are so important to have most people will never know were missing
