✨ Jess & James | Merrydale Manor ✨
Some weddings just leave you smiling all the way home… and Jess & James’ day at Merrydale Manor was definitely one of them.
A Wirral-based couple brought together by a shared love of Tranmere Rovers and a workplace romance that turned into something very special. From the moment we met for their pre-wedding shoot last year, it was clear just how kind, thoughtful and genuinely lovely they both are.
Their wedding day was packed with laughter, emotion, incredible sunshine and, quite possibly, a Merrydale Manor record for smoke flares! I think we got through around 50 flares across the day, creating some epic images alongside those beautiful golden-hour portraits and that stunning sunset beneath the gazebo.
One of my favourite things about photographing weddings is seeing how effortlessly a couple fit together, and Jess & James were exactly that. Relaxed, completely themselves and surrounded by family and friends who clearly adore them.
A huge thank you for trusting me to capture such an important chapter of your story. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish 🫶🏻
