In all the years I've been photographing weddings I've never photographed one with a horse and carriage in attendance - until this year. Just like corporation buses, nothing for ages and then two arrive at once.
This is from Lee and Miranda's wedding at Haigh Hall in Wigan. The day was glorious, the venue magnificent, the bride beautiful and the horses incredibly well behaved.
I loved how they had their little crocheted 'ear gloves.' I'm certain that's not what their called but in the absence of their proper names it'll have to do.
If you know what they are called or can think of a fab new name then you can leave a comment and the best answer gets a prize.... of my unending awe at your vast pool of knowledge.

Lee and Miranda's Wedding at Haigh Hall
Lee and Miranda got married a couple of weeks ago at the amazing Haigh Hall in Wigan a couple of weeks ago. What a brilliant day.
They had a carriage and horses on the day because they both ride and have horses on their own so it was only fitting that they had horses at their wedding. I have to say that these were the most well behaved horses I've ever come across.
I had my instructions to make sure that their ears (the horses, not the bride and groom's) were forward in the photos. That old missive, never work with children or animals, certainly wasn't true in this instance, they were clearly used to being photographed and performing for the camera. I could have sworn they were even smiling for me at one point.
An elegant carriage ride down the l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g drive at Haigh Hall down to the woods and the canal.
Down at the canal, on the bridge. A couple for swans came by for a look at what was going on.
The bride and groom had added lots of personal touches to their wedding to make it extra special for their guests, the weather was perfect, the venue was superb, everyone was lovely. All in all, pretty much the perfect day. It was a delight and an honour to be able to photograph it for them..

And were off!!
The wedding season starts next weekend, coinciding nicely with the start of spring. We'll be at Haigh Hall with Lee and Miranda. I'm really looking forward to it. In preparation for their wedding:
I've booked the weather
Checked all the kit
Charged all the batteries (mine included)
Got some horse treats at the ready (don't ask!)
Looks like we're ready to go!
