Rain and Smiles in St. Michael's, Portrats on Pendle Hill. Fun and Umbrellas and a Ceilidh.
Barley Village Hall Wedding
- By Tim Christian Jones
Susie and Dan’s late May wedding had everything — a beautiful church ceremony at St. Michael’s & All Angels Church in Foulridge, a countryside backdrop for portraits, and a lively reception at Barley Village Hall.
The rain didn’t stop a thing. These two stuck to their plans, braving the Lancashire fields with big smiles and plenty of laughter. By the evening, the hall was filled with music and ceilidh dancing — the kind of night where no one wants to leave the dance floor.
I loved photographing a day like this — full of energy, personality, and moments you don’t see coming.
Closing the Story
Susie and Dan’s wedding is one I’ll always remember — proof that a little rain can’t dampen a day full of love and laughter. From their vows in St. Michael’s & All Angels Church to ceilidh dancing in Barley, every part of their celebration was filled with energy and warmth.
Leeds is home for me, but I often travel across Lancashire and Yorkshire to photograph weddings like this — relaxed, full of movement, and shaped by the people at the heart of them, gathered quietly within my Destination Weddings portfolio.
