Liverpool Documentary Wedding Photographer - The Racquet Club - Becca and Sean

Urban Wedding

I love shooting urban weddings, so when Becca and Sean asked me to shoot their lovely chilled out wedding at The Racquet Club in Liverpool. I knew we were in for a treat! The Racquet Club is in a great little spot. It’s near enough to the Liver buildings for you to get a good couples portrait with one of Liverpool’s most iconic buildings in the background, the sun also sets just over the water making for some epic light at golden hour. Right next to the venue is Our Lady Saint Nicholas Church who are kind enough (with the little help of a donation) to let you use their gardens for group photos and getting a bit of greenery into your portraits. If greenery isn’t your thing, the area is bursting at the seams with beautiful architecture and street art to make for more modern portraits with cool Liverpudlian City Vibes. Luckily for me Becca and Sean were up for it all! We even bumped into the Liverpool Ghost Tour on our escapades and Becca managed to grab a photo with them!

The Racquet Club Wedding Venue

Inside The Racquet Club is a real treat, with it’s huge rooms, tall ceilings and massive long window there is plenty of natural light around to make capturing those natural moments and fleeting interaction between guests a piece of cake. Becca and Sean had the super talented Sweet Pea and Ivy decorate the venue with a beautiful display of old books, candles, delicate roses and cascading foliage. The room looked amazing! Becca and Sean also added some personal touches themselves, Becca hand made some decorations attached to some huge white balloons and they brought Sean’s obsession with collecting Vinyl into the day by having guests sign records as a guest book and had a friends live band play music for their guests to dance to into the night. It turned into quite the party as you can see from the photos.

Thanks for having me Becca and Sean, you threw and beautiful, fun amazingly chilled out wedding and you were both up for anything! It was an absolute pleasure to photograph your day. Lots of Love xxxxxx

What Becca and Sean had to say...

Liverpool Engagement Shoot - Jess and James

I love engagement shoots, it’s a lovely chilled out way to spend a hour or two having a laugh while creating something together.

I met Jess and James at The Ship and Mitre in Liverpool, it was a special place for them as that is where they had their first date, the place where the story of Jess and James really began, so it seemed fitting to start the shoot there. After a catch up and drink in bar we made our way out to explore the city and see which bits of the beautiful urban Landscape we could incorporate into the shoot. We were spoilt for choice! Finding wonderful Liverpudlian street art along our way, including a piece by the anonymous graffiti artist Banksy and of course it would be rude to not incorporate the infamous Liver Buildings into a photo or two. As we made our way to The Docks and the sun grew lower in the sky we stumbled upon a small fair ground, so made use of the bright and playful backgrounds before grabbing another sneaky drink from one of the sea front bars. We then took it upon ourselves to hunt down the prettiest Lamb Banana we could find, ending the evening shoot by taking some snaps as the Seagulls flew low over our heads while sun shone across water and then making our way home.

Jess and James were such a pleasure to shoot, they booked the engagement shoot as they thought that they might be nervous in front of the camera on their wedding day, but turned out to be complete naturals. Complete naturals at just being themselves with each other, making each other laugh, having nice little snuggles together and just being in love. It was beautiful to capture them doing just that. I’m really looking forward to shooting their wedding next month, it’s going to be an absolute belter!

Racquet Club Wedding - Liverpool - Andrea and Lee

Andrea and Lee's Beautiful Winter Wedding at the Racquet Club, Liverpool. What a party!

Baltic Quarter Wedding Liverpool - Lucy and Josh.

When I first met Lucy and Josh I knew we were on for a bloody good wedding. Not only are they both dazzling beauties, but they have great taste in music and a really chilled out attitude and that came through in their super relaxed day. Lucy and Josh got married in beautiful and intimate ceremony in St Georges Hall, then with a Mr. whippy in one hand and a glass of champers in the other, they pilled on a London bus with their guests and made their merry to Siren in the Baltic Quarter to get the party started. At Siren Lucy and Josh’s guests were greeted with home made cocktails and psychedelic harmonies from Niamh and Fiona of the Sundowners. With no speeches or formal meal planned their guests soaked up the sunshine, enjoyed the music, sipped on cocktails and ate from the BBQ in the garden. As the sun went down guests moved in doors to listen to the funky rhythms of the Robert Mather Band before getting down and dirty on the dance floor and the decks came out and shapes got made.

P.S. If you are wondering where they got their lovely buttonholes and flowers from, Josh made them! I was ever so impressed with his floristry skills.
