Liverpool, ahhhhh, you never disappoint...
The First wedding of 2018 took me to The Richmond Hotel on Hatton Garden in Liverpool and David and Racheal's big day. It's not far away for a Shropshire Wedding Photographer to visit - just an hour or so, and what makes it even better is I have free accommodation in Liverpool as my mother-in-law lives there! It's what makes Liverpool one of my favourite wedding destinations in the UK.
Famed for it's friendly people, the city gave couple that could never be more in love with each and never more suited to each other. They married in relaxed and calm and above all they married each other in style. They clearly knew the hotel well as they lived nearly opposite the hotel itself, so it made the ideal city centre location for them. Love abounded and a wonderful day was had by all...
Anyway, enough chatting. On with the pictures!
