Bonfire Night Blackout in Liverpool, November 5th 2011

Bonfire night 2011. It’s only just turned the 5th of November and there has been a large power cut in the north of Liverpool. In the early hours there were power problems in the house. None of the lights in the house were working and all the streetlights outside were dimly lit as well. After about 20 minutes of worrying what was wrong, there was a complete power cut and the streets turned pitch black. There were reports that Scottish Power were fixing a similar problem in Croxteth on the 1st November and this could possibly be a knock on effect of the work that is being carried out there. I grabbed my camera and ran outside anyway to see what photographs I could snap. I really like the way the star constellation Orion was directly above the house too.

Wedding Photography Liverpool Kirkby, Wedding at St Martin’s Church Kirkby

The sky was a little dull today but it stayed dry which is the main thing. A beautiful wedding day and I have to say the wedding ceremony was very nicely conducted. A warm and bright ceremony room made for some really great photographs of the wedding service. The day moved from St Martin’s Church in Kirkby to the evening reception at Maghull Town Hall. I’ve posted two photographs from the days events below.

New blog for 2012.

The wedding season for 2011 has been a huge success and there are many happy Groom’s and Brides with a beautiful collection of wedding photographs from their special day. We hope every one of our clients enjoys their photographs and I would like to thank everyone who chose Chris Hickey Photography for their special day, it’s been a pleasure.

I’ve decided to update my blog for a change, don’t do this often enough. I haven’t been as consistent with my blog as perhaps I could have been, instead I’ve been posting all the updates on facebook and twitter. So I’ve created this new blog in order to keep all the news updates on the website too. If you want to see the latest wedding album designs or latest photography deals keep up to date here as this is where it will all be revealed. I can’t wait to start posting all the latest wedding photography for you view.

I’m working on some new wedding photography packages for 2012. It’s going to be easier to understand and more flexible to your particular needs. Looking forward to finalising the details on these and preparing all the sample albums for 2012/2013. I’ll be visiting some local wedding fairs in 2012 around the liverpool wedding area. I’ll post the information on the website as soon as this is all confirmed.

 


Wedding Photography from Mere Court Hotel, Mere, Warrington

It was a beautiful day, the weather was stormy and grey all over liverpool but the sun was shining for most of the day while at Jason and Lorraine’s wedding at Mere Court Hotel. This venue is definatley one for upcoming brides to be to think about. The grounds around the hotel offer some really amazing photography opportunities. I managed to get some cracking photo’s on the banks of the lake with rippling reflections in the water. Here are a couple of shots from the day… The Bride and Groom walking together and the First Dance. Congratulations to both Jason and Lorraine.

Wedding Photography from Croxteth Hall Liverpool

Croxteth Hall in Liverpool is a stunning venue for weddings, both inside and out. It’s great for photography, even the ceremony rooms are full of character and large windows with plenty of light. Best part about wedding photography at Croxteth Hall is all the possible locations within the building itself. Plenty of locations for beautiful portrait shots of the bride and groom. One of my favourite photo’s from the day today is below. A big congratulations to Matthew & Jessica on their wedding today and I look forward to sharing your wedding photography with you.

Anfield Stadium Wedding, Liverpool Football Club

Im not a huge football fan, I watch the occaisonal world cup match every four years or so, but I have to say that I enjoyed Mandy & Peter’s wedding at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool Football Club. There were far too many photo opportunities for one day. I captured some really beautiful shots overlooking the pitch and the kop stand. Some fun wedding photography next to Liverpool’s 5th Champoins League Trophy. It was a really impressive day and I know Mandy & Peter enjoyed it also. Here are some photo’s from the day below.

I’ve been experimenting with youtube and decided to post my first youtube video of some Wedding Photographs that I took in Sept 2010. I didn’t realise youtube takes so long to process these videos but it might have something to do with the HD quality. Put the quality right up to 720p HD if your broadband is quick enough to play it.


New Wedding Storybook Albums for 2011

Chris Hickey Wedding Photography Liverpool

Storybook Wedding Album

I’ve changed my wedding photography packages over the last few months and I’ve been ordering new sample albums for these new 2011 photography packages. The reason for all these changes is because since I started wedding photography in 2007 there has been an increasing number of people looking for Digital Storybook style albums rather than the more Traditional Overlay albums. Traditional albums will always be very popular especialy the Mario Acerboni range of premium leather style albums.

I’ve always offered the basic coffee table style storybooks with my packages. They are excellent value for money and a great keepsake for your photographs. For those of you who would prefer an album style wedding storybook then these new Premium Storybooks are for you. I say new, but I’ve been offering these from the middle of January 2011 but the new sample albums should be with me by the beginning of March.

Take a look at one of the Premium Storybook designs below.

NEWS: Plans to change Wedding Laws to allow 24 hour wedding services

Author: Chris Hickey Wedding Photography Liverpool Merseyside

The Government are planning to allow night time weddings. This change in legislation will allow marriages to take place 24 hours a day in both England and Wales. The changes are part of the Protection Of Freedoms Bill and these changes apply to civil and religious ceremonies.

The current regulation on marriages only allow couples to wed between 0800 and 1800. Home Office minister James Brokenshire said: “If you want a midnight service you can. That’s the whole point of us providing that flexibility.”

The Catholic Church has however said it would not carry out late night ceremonies. The Church of England said: “Canon Law dictates that a marriage may only be solemnised between 8am and 6pm and not at any unseasonable hour.”

This is great news for engaged couples who can have a little more flexibility with their wedding plans. Night time weddings should prove quite popular especially in the Summer Months.
