Two weddings coming up - one this weekend and another early October, both in the delightful setting of the model workers village of Port Sunlight, the creation of William Hesketh Lever.
Differing styles, but both we are looking forward to very much.
This weekend its Kev and Elaine's special day with marriage ceremony at the popular Christ Church in Port Sunlight (3 weddings that day as usual during the summer Saturdays) followed by a reception with a Liverpool theme as they are keen Liverpool FC supporters - guess the colour scheme! The beautiful church is a Grade 2 listed building of red sandstone. The square tower houses a peal of 8 bells - the only United Reformed church in the country to do so.
The length of the church is 151 feet - and the photographer has to stand at the back (tripod and long fast lens will be the order of the day) but makes for some lovely photos with its leading floor tiles and beautiful stained glass windows.
The second is a hotel, civil ceremony, wedding for Michael and his Swedish bride Anneli at the art deco Leverhulme hotel. Evening do complete with Elvis impersonator so that should be fun.
The village of Port Sunlight is beautiful with its different styles of architecture and scenic locations of the Dell and fountain in front of the art gallery. Its a pity that mindless idiots vandalised the Hillsborough memorial as that was a favoured photo spot for our Liverpool fans.
Still plenty of photo opportunities and we look foward to the events.
