James & Kirsty had the most unbelievable day at the Bolholt Hotel in Bury back in September 2023.

This blog has been published on James & Kirsty's first wedding anniversary. Congratulations to both of you, here's to many more years of happiness.

James is my son's football coach so we have known each other for many years and over those years he, Kirsty and the other parents have become a big football family so it was my absolute honour not only to be their wedding photographer, but also celebrate as a guest along with my family.

The day began for me at the Bolholt Hotel in Bury where Kirsty and her bridal party were all getting ready. Kirsty looked stunning in her lace detailed dress and the bridesmaids complimented her beautifully in sage.

A nervous groom arrived and after adding the final details to his speech, James and all the guests were ushered into the ceremony room. Kirsty was walked down the aisle by her grandfather, who could not have looked more proud throughout the day, and was met by a waiting groom; a beautiful, emotional service followed.

James and Kirsty became Mr & Mrs Moscrop and after some time for group formals and a walk around the beautiful grounds for bride and groom portraits, it was time for their wedding breakfast. Emotional speeches from the 2 best Men, James and Kirsty's mother led us into the evening where after their first dance as Mr & Mrs, it was time to party and celebrate.

Congratulations on your first wedding anniversary and thank you again for having the Duffy clan along for the ride.

Here is a selection of my favourite images from the day.
