Day 9: The Zoe Photography Advent Calendar of Wedding Photography in Liverpool

Day 9 on the Zoe Photography Advent Calendar for Wedding Photography in Liverpool is Jo and Paul's wedding at Knowsley Hall. You couldn't find a cuter couple! I love how much they laugh and enjoy life in such a child-like way - I think there's a lot I could learn from them myself. And Knowsley Hall is such a beautiful venue to get married at. Jo and Paul were really lucky considering what a wet summer we had as they had a gorgeous day both the day of the wedding and the day before when we did their pre-wedding shoot.

I'm not sure if you can find a more spectacular place for a wedding ceremony than Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral, and what a true delight it was to be able to photograph Lizzy and Cris's wedding there. When I look at their photographs I am still lost for words. After this amazing ceremony Lizzy and Cris walked down Hope Street in Liverpool for their wedding reception at Hope Street Hotel, a venue where I love photographing weddings, and always feel at home.

Day 7 of the Zoe Photography Advent Calendar of Wedding Photography in Liverpool actually moves to Chester, and the Chester Racecourse. I could choose so many photographs from Lisa and Ben's wedding, from the wedding present of a camper van, to the amazing Chester church, to the tears between Lisa and her dad, but I just love this one with Lisa sitting in the stands with the contrast of the red seats.

Day 6 and nearly a week into the Zoe Photography Advent Calendar of Wedding Photography in Liverpool and we go to Gemma and Ste's wedding. The ceremony was in a gorgeous church in Allerton followed by a reception at West Tower Country House Hotel in Aughton near Ormskirk. This is one of my favourite wedding venues to work at, with beautiful rooms and a spectacular view. It never disappoints, and the staff there are totally committed to making sure every wedding is the best it can be. Gemma brought a beautiful design to the West Tower, which you may see more of later in the Advent Calendar.

Day 5 on the Zoe Photography Advent Calendar of Wedding Photography in Liverpool goes to the guys. Aron married Emma at The Isla Gladstone, the gorgeous glasshouse in Stanley Park, Liverpool. They were really lucky because it was a lovely day which meant they could get married in the band stand outside. What a treat! And this was one of those wedding where from start to finish there was a lot of laughter and love. Alongside me at this wedding were the fabulous team from Marry Me Films who I love working with.

Day 4 on the Advent Calendar showcases the wedding photography for Gill and Richard's wedding at The Vincent in Southport. Even though it was pouring down, this was a wedding where the laughter made it feel like the sun was shining. Richard arranged for the old Routemaster to collect Gill, adding a special touch to the day.

Day 3 is Amy and Mark's wedding in Heswall and on to Hillbark Hotel, Wirral which I had the privilege to do the wedding photography for in June - how lucky were they, getting such a beautiful day before the summer rain came? I love this photograph where Amy is being walked up the church path by her mum and dad.

Chloe is our Day 2 Advent Calendar bride. She married Mark on Easter Sunday in Waterloo, Liverpool, with a beautiful reception at Leverhulme Hotel, Port Sunlight, Wirral. It was a real pleasure to photograph their Liverpool and Wirral wedding, alongside David Beckham-Doyle who did the most beautiful flower displays with David Austin roses, and who I always love to work with.

Sandra and Tom married at St Andrew's Church in Maghull before their wedding reception in Liverpool City Centre. This was a two day wedding and this photograph of Sandra is from their western wedding day. Their second day was equally gorgeous with both Sandra and Tom dressed in traditional Chinese wedding outfits for their Chinese wedding reception in Liverpool's China Town.

The Zoe Photography Advent Calendar of Liverpool Wedding Photography

What a year! In fact, what a career I've had as a photographer to date over the last 10 years since I shot my first wedding for a friend. I've been so fortunate to learn from some amazing photographers such as David A Williams, Jerry Ghionis, Simon Watkinson, Kevin Wilson, John Parris, and more. And I've had the opportunity to photograph weddings in amazing places - I have photographed weddings abroad in Italy (Venice, Castellabate, Santa Margherita Ligure), Sweden, Ireland, and I've photographed weddings throughout the UK in Bristol, Clifton, Cheltenham, Buxted Park, Leeds,  Clitheroe, Scotland, Kendal, Ullswater, Penrith, Buttermere and more. And closer to home I regularly photograph weddings in Liverpool, Southport, Formby, Ormskirk, Chester, Thornton Hough, weddings in gorgeous venues including Knowsley Hall, Thornton Manor, West Tower in Aughton, the Isla Gladstone, the Palm House, The Vincent in Southport, Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool, The Racquet Club, Atlantic Tower, Croxteth Park, St George's Hall. And the lists could go on. I know I'm very fortunate to photograph weddings at such fabulous wedding venues in Merseyside, Wirral and West Lancashire. So it's time to celebrate.

Over the next 25 days I'm going to celebrate some special moments in the Zoe Photography Wedding Photography Advent Calendar covering weddings in Liverpool, Southport, Ormskirk and Wirral. Make sure you visit each day to see who is behind the Wedding Photography Advent Calendar door.
