Erica Stacey couture wedding dresses (Manchester)

photography Hannah Dornford May (1)Morn­ing every­one! Wed­ding dresses and some behind-the-scenes pic­tures today… I wanted to tell you a lit­tle more about cou­ture dress designer Erica Stacey. Erica has made a real splash in the Man­ches­ter and Cheshire wed­ding scene (if that’s the right word: is there a ‘scene’? Answers on a post­card please…) with the launch of her cou­ture bridal wear brand at the lux­u­ri­ous Tat­ton Wed­ding Show in Jan­u­ary. I’ve come across her name on Brides Up North wed­ding blog and seen her dresses fea­tured in fab­u­lous cre­ative shoots by some of my favourite wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers. This lady is mak­ing waves — with gor­geous designs and a fan­tas­tic com­mer­cial launch, allow me to intro­duce Erica Stacey Bridal Wear.

Daily wedding inspiration — clocks and cheese!

This week Billy’s been read­ing the wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy blog of lovely lady Han­nah Dornford-May and this is a favourite photo which gives a real taste — sorry — of a gor­geous wed­ding full of lovely details.
Wedding Cheesecake from Hannah Dornford May photographyThere’s this lovely wed­ding cheese cake, and deli­cious look­ing cup­cakes as well. And the details from this lovely wed­ding include a wall of vin­tage clocks, old fam­ily pho­tographs and sta­tionery from Hum­ming­bird Cards — it’s gorgeous.

Han­nah Dornford-May shot this wed­ding along­side wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Sam Clay­ton whose blog will also be fea­tur­ing here very soon!

Black and white wedding photos

As promised, a cou­ple more wed­ding pho­tographs in black and white. Fol­low­ing yesterday’s strik­ing and dra­matic wed­ding pic­tures by Chris Han­ley, today I’ve cho­sen two pic­tures sent in by Han­nah Dornford-May.

In con­trast to yesterday’s pho­tographs on quite a grand scale, these pic­tures focus on the more inti­mate details and sim­ply cap­ture real beauty in peo­ple: the first pic­ture of a bride get­ting ready is com­pletely unposed and unplanned, but I love how nat­ural it looks and how beau­ti­ful and sen­sual the pho­to­graph feels.
