I love taking shots of people chucking stuff at brides and grooms. I know that sounds strange, but then so is the custom of doing just that – the confetti throwing. Apparently it’s something to do with the Italians… Anyway, my thoughts have turned to confetti today. That’s not to say that I haven’t been…
Last ever wedding at Liverpool’s CUC
I love this city of ours. I love all its people, all its buildings and all its soul. I love the very bones of Liverpool. So just like all Liverpudlians, I mourn when something bad happens here. The closure of the Contemporary Urban Centre was an event that definitely robbed me of some joy. What…
My first Shankly Hotel shoot – what a wonderful Liverpool wedding venue it is!
Imagine this – a hotel dedicated to the memory of just one person. The great Bill Shankly is that person and the Shankly Hotel a fitting tribute to his brilliance as a club manager. If you’re not too sure who he is, 1) you’re probably not from Liverpool and 2) probably not that much in…
Christina and Tony’s summer wedding photos from Formby Hall Golf Club
This Formby Hall Golf Club wedding really stuck out from the crowd for me for three reasons. One, the obvious and copious love that Christina and Tony share for one another and for their beautiful children. And two, the utter lunacy of Christina’s bridesmaids! What a crazy bunch! Another great feature was the singer (Chris…
I’ve got GWVW…
A little preamble to this post; I LOVE MY JOB! Right, now that’s out of the way, what on earth is GWVW? In this modern, technical world, we’re surrounded and bombarded by new acronyms, so I thought I’d add a new one to the lexicon: Great Wedding Venue Withdrawal or GWVW for short. So what…
The Best of Daniel Charles Photography’s Wedding Photos in 2018
Every January (or February if I’ve been busy!) I review the previous year’s wedding photos. It’s something I love to do, as every wedding has fond memories for me and my team and it’s great to have those memories flood back as I go through each wedding and pull out my favourite images. 2018 was…
Why you shouldn’t ask Uncle Bob to photograph your wedding…
A couple of times each year I’ll miss out on a booking to a family friend or relative. I can’t say any more than that, as I have no idea whether the individuals are photographers or not. It makes me wonder how the photos from those couples weddings will end up. Will they be satisfied…
Why I love being the wedding photographer at a Leasowe Castle wedding so much!
Ah, wedding photography at Leasowe Castle. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not that castle-like really, but what it lacks in ramparts and portcullises, it makes up with location and light. Recently refurbished to a very nice finish, Leasowe Castle has returned to my list of best venues for weddings on Wirral. Its location right…
Another Christmas wedding: Metropolitan Cathedral Liverpool and Titanic Hotel wedding photographs
Oh my days – this wedding was just phenomenal. Sally and Phil chose the day before Christmas Eve for their wonderful wedding and filled both venues with the nicest people you can imagine. The weather was perfect – bright blue sky but low winter sun. I felt like I was in heaven! Liverpool has two…
Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club – a right royal Christmas Cheshire wedding treat!
A Christmas Cheshire wedding to remember! I’ve been looking back a few years to fill out my blog with wedding venues that I’ve only shot at once – and would dearly love to shoot at again. Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club is one such wedding venue. Nestled deep in the Cheshire countryside, it was well…
