32 STEP GUIDE TO WEDDING PLANNING
TOP 20 LUXURY WEDDING VENUES IN THE UK
Choosing the right venue for your wedding is a big decision. Once food and drink are included, your venue will likely be your budget's most significant spend. Therefore, choosing the right location to host your luxury wedding is a critical step that can significantly affect the feel of your day.
Once your wedding grows beyond a specific size and budget, selecting your venue on geographical location is no longer practical. Simply speaking, you may need to widen your search area to find the place that perfectly aligns with your vision, date and guest list.

LUXURY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Too often, couples regret feeling overly posed or awkward, their day photographed not captured, and apprehensive about their wedding photography.
Over ten years ago, we set out to challenge this, to put our couple's experience and the forefront of our wedding photography and what we created was truly magic!
The style of wedding photography we created was authentic and intentional. Neither pure documentary nor entirely staged, but a blend that captured our couples in spirit and essence. Light, when understood, and be used like an artist paints to create something magical, capturing reality but in a way you may never have seen before!
While traditionally staged group photos may not be your thing, rarely are we not asked to take a few. Even when it's simply keeping the family happy, we are always willing to round up a few group shots if asked.
" Mat & Julia, created Fitzpatrick Photography to put you their couples at the heart of your wedding experience. They succeeded in creating a truly unique & luxury service"
Hey I'm Mat ...
..... a dog loving, caffeine-addicted, travel-obsessed forty-something located in the UK's northwest who loves capturing weddings at home and abroad for my fun-loving couples!
I am passionate about creating vibrant, authentic and romantic images with timeless elegance alongside my fantastic wife, Julia.
Photography, for me, is more than just simply pictures. Photography allows us to defy physics, freeze a moment in time, and enjoy it over and over. They capture more than just light and shade; they capture emotion, joy and even that most precious emotion, love! We can revisit these moments, time and again, re-living how we felt at the exact moment the shutter fell. Photography allows us to create doorways in time, allowing us to re-live our memories again and again whenever we choose!
When memories are captured, they no longer fade. Instead, they become part of our story, our heritage. Something that we can share and pass on for generations to come.
