Lauren & Lewis Manchester City Centre Wedding

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 16:34:43 GMT

A chic Manchester city centre wedding. Preparations at The Midland Hotel, a ceremony at Manchester Registry Office, and a huge celebration at Castlefield Rooms.

This was Manchester through and through. No countryside escape. No barn conversion. Just the city doing what it does best, big buildings, busy streets, sharp suits, champagne early in the day.

Lauren and Lewis kept it classic but modern. Preparations at The Midland Hotel, a ceremony at Manchester Registry Office, then straight into a full celebration at Castlefield Rooms. Clean lines. Good light. Proper party.

The day started at The Midland, it has that old-school confidence about it. High ceilings, big windows, history in the walls. It suits a wedding morning, especially one that doesn’t want to feel chaotic. Lauren got ready surrounded by her people, calm but excited. Hair and makeup underway, dresses hanging against polished interiors, the city moving outside the windows.

Lewis and the guys kept it sharp. Suits on. Details sorted. No drama.

Manchester Registry Office has its own rhythm. In and out. Different couples passing through. A quiet intensity to it. Lauren and Lewis’ ceremony felt focused. No distractions, just everyone leaning in. Short, meaningful, real.

There’s something about registry office weddings that strips everything back. You’re there for one thing. And once it’s done, the whole city is waiting outside.

If the ceremony was tight and focused, Castlefield Rooms was the release. Drinks flowing. Tables full. Big energy. The space suits a proper celebration — industrial edge, canals nearby, room to breathe but still feel connected. The food came out fast, the wine kept moving, and once the music started, it didn’t dip.

We kept portraits moving. Manchester pavements, traffic in the background, light bouncing off buildings. Nothing overworked. Just walking, talking, letting the city frame them. That’s the advantage of a Manchester city centre wedding, you don’t have to go looking for atmosphere. It’s already there.

Some weddings build slowly. This one didn’t. By the time the evening was in full swing, the dance floor was solid. Shoes off. Jackets gone. People fully committing.

Manchester weddings tend to go hard when they party and this one was no different.

A Manchester city centre wedding gives you pace. Movement. Texture. You can go from historic hotel to registry office to industrial party space without ever leaving a square mile.

Lauren and Lewis’ day felt clean, confident, and fun. Exactly what a city wedding should be.

If you’re planning a wedding at The Midland Hotel, Manchester Registry Office, or Castlefield Rooms, and you want photos that feel modern and honest I would love to chat about your plans.

Laura & Jake’s Tipi Wedding in Leeds

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 15:40:01 GMT

Laura & Jake’s DIY Tipi Wedding on Their Family Farm in Leeds

Laura and Jake got married on their family farm in Leeds, with a tipi rising up from the fields and weeks (if not months) of work poured into every detail. Nothing about it felt borrowed or off-the-shelf. It felt personal. Properly personal. And at the centre of it all was Laura, designer, creative and the calm force behind the scenes who designed the look of the day and created the flowers herself.

Getting married on your own land changes the energy straight away. There’s no “arriving” at a venue. No sense of being somewhere temporary. Guests pulled up to a place that already held memories. Fields that meant something. Views that weren’t chosen from a brochure. The tipi stood tall against the Leeds skyline, relaxed but ready.

Laura’s design background showed in all the right ways. The styling felt effortless — but only because so much thought had gone into it.

She created the flowers herself. Arranged them. Placed them. Made sure everything felt cohesive without looking staged. Natural textures, soft movement, nothing overworked.

It didn’t scream “DIY wedding.” It just felt considered.

As the day unfolded, everything centred back around the tipi. Drinks outside. Conversations stretching longer than planned. People drifting between sunshine and shade.

Inside, Laura’s styling pulled everything together the flowers softening the structure, details layered in quietly. Photos stayed natural. Quick walks through the fields. Wind catching fabric. Nothing overly posed, because the setting didn’t need it.

When evening rolled in, the energy shifted without losing the intimacy. The tipi filled properly. Music up. Shoes off. The kind of dance floor that doesn’t need convincing.

DIY weddings like this always hit differently at night. There’s pride in them. Everyone knows how much work went into it, and that gives the celebration weight.

It’s not just a party. It’s the result.

A tipi wedding in Leeds gives you freedom. You’re not boxed in by a venue’s rules or timelines. You can build something that reflects you, whether that’s fully styled or intentionally simple.

Laura and Jake’s day was proof that when you create a wedding yourselves, it carries a different kind of energy. Honest. Effortful. Real.

Brit & Mikey at Camp Katur

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 18:04:48 GMT

A wedding weekend at Camp Katur near York. Forest ceremony, glamping with friends, a bonfire the night before, and pizza in a wildflower-filled barn.

This wasn’t just a wedding. It was a whole weekend.

Brit and Mikey chose Camp Katur , a sustainable glamping site just outside York, and leaned fully into what the place is about, slowing things down, staying close to nature, and spending real time with the people around you.

Everyone stayed on site. Wooden huts, canvas tents, no rushing off anywhere. I stayed too, tucked away in one of the glamping huts,

which meant the story started long before the ceremony and didn’t really end when the music stopped.

The evening before the wedding, everyone gathered around a bonfire. No speeches. No plans. Just people, firelight, and the quiet kind of excitement that comes when something big is about to happen.

It felt more like a festival camp than a wedding weekend. Conversations drifted, drinks were passed around, and the forest did its thing in the background.

That night set the tone for everything that followed.

The ceremony took place outside, deep among the trees. No aisles in the traditional sense, no walls, no ceiling, just the sound of the woods and a group of people standing close together.

It was simple and honest. The kind of ceremony where everyone stays present because there’s nothing pulling attention away from what’s happening.

After the ceremony, everyone made their way to the barn for food. A pizza van handled the catering — casual, unfussy, and exactly what the day needed.

The barn was styled to match the site itself. Natural woods, wildflowers, textures that felt like they belonged there. Nothing overdone. Nothing out of place.

It didn’t feel decorated. It felt settled.

Because everyone stayed on site, the day never felt like it was racing the clock. No transport to organise. No rush to fit everything in.

People drifted between spaces, sat on the ground, wandered back to their huts when they needed a moment. The wedding expanded and contracted naturally, like it had room to breathe.

Camp Katur is perfect for couples who want more than a single day. It suits weddings that value experience over spectacle, connection over schedules.

If you’re planning a Camp Katur wedding and want photos that reflect the feeling of the whole weekend. The quiet moments, the in-between bits, the atmosphere get in touch so we can have a chat about your plans

Tasha & Steven at Whitworth Locke, Manchester

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:14:48 GMT

An alternative city-centre wedding at Whitworth Locke in Manchester. A dog ring bearer, Gay Village portraits, burlesque performances and a full-throttle rock party.

Whitworth Locke isn’t a traditional wedding venue, which is exactly the point. Set right in the middle of Manchester, it’s bold, urban, and a little bit chaotic in the best way.

Tasha and Steven’s wedding followed that same energy. Alternative, personal, and completely unapologetic. From getting ready in a converted swimming pool beneath the venue to ending the night in a full-blown rock gig, this was a wedding that leaned into the city and everything it meant to them.

The morning started below street level at The Shallows Studio — an old swimming pool turned creative space, tucked underneath Whitworth Locke.

It was raw, industrial, and full of atmosphere. Tasha got ready here with her wedding party, music playing, light filtering in just enough to give everything texture. It didn’t feel styled. It felt real. Like the kind of place where something interesting was always going to happen.

The ceremony itself stayed relaxed and full of character. Friends packed the space, reactions happened everywhere at once, and nothing felt overly rehearsed.

Their dog stole the show, taking on the role of ring bearer with absolute confidence. No nerves. No hesitation. Just straight down the aisle, cutting through any remaining formality.

After the ceremony, we headed straight into Manchester’s Gay Village for couple photos. Not because it looked good, although it does because it meant something.

This area has been a huge part of Tasha and Steven’s lives and friendships. It’s loud, colourful, full of movement, and full of stories. The photos weren’t about finding quiet corners — they were about placing them exactly where they belong.

Real city. Real meaning. No pretending.

Back at Whitworth Locke, the day kept its momentum. Drinks flowed, conversations overlapped, and the space stayed busy.

Photos were quick and instinctive with short moments pulled aside, then straight back into it. Tasha and Steven never vanished for an hour, which kept the energy high and the day moving exactly how it should.

The evening didn’t ease in, it hit hard.

Friends of the couple performed a burlesque show , setting the tone before the band took over. Then The Warning Tones stepped in and turned the reception into a full-on rock party.

Lights low, music loud, bodies moving. Less wedding disco, more gig energy. The dance floor didn’t empty, it just got messier, louder, and better.

If you’re planning an alternative wedding at Whitworth Locke — something personal, gritty, meaningful, and a bit wild — it’s the kind of place where you don’t need to tone anything down.

And if you want photos that capture the chaos, the movement, and the real moments in between, lets have a chat about your plans.

Jasmine & Nathan at Stockport Town Hall

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:24:55 GMT

A big wedding at Stockport Town Hall with a packed dance floor, a live band, and their poodle stealing the show during portraits.

Stockport Town Hall has weight to it. Stone walls, high ceilings, and the kind of presence you don’t really get with newer venues. It feels solid, a bit gritty, and perfect for a wedding that isn’t trying to be soft around the edges.

Jasmine and Nathan filled it. Properly. Big guest list, loud energy, and a day that leaned into the space rather than trying to smooth it out.

From early on, there was a sense that this was going to be a big one. Friends and family everywhere, voices bouncing off the walls, that low hum of anticipation before things kick off.

Stockport Town Hall suits weddings like this. It can handle the scale without feeling chaotic, and it gives everything a bit of edge — less countryside calm, more city energy.

Somewhere between the ceremony and the drinks reception, Jasmine and Nathan’s poodle made an appearance. Calm, confident, and completely unfazed by the attention.

Photos with the dog were quick and relaxed and no big production, just a few moments in between everything else. The kind of thing that becomes part of the story rather than a planned “moment”.

There was no sense of rushing or sticking to a strict plan. Things moved when they moved.

Photos stayed loose and natural. Short breaks, real light, then straight back into the day. Jasmine and Nathan never felt removed from what was happening around them, which kept the energy exactly where it needed to be.

Once the band started, everything shifted. The room filled, the floor stayed busy, and the night took on a life of its own.

Live music does that. It pulls people in, keeps things raw, and turns a wedding into something closer to a gig than a formal evening reception. This one didn’t ease off — it just kept going.

Stockport Town Hall is a great choice if you want a wedding that feels solid, bold, and full of atmosphere. It doesn’t need dressing up — it brings enough character on its own.

For couples planning a Stockport Town Hall wedding and wanting photos that reflect the energy, movement, and reality of the day , I would love to hear about your plans .

Jenny & Martin at Lady Grey Farm

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:51:41 GMT

An intimate wedding at Lady Grey Farm in Cheshire. A small guest list, relaxed atmosphere, and a day focused on the people that mattered most.

Lady Grey Farm feels tucked away, quiet in that way that instantly slows everything down. Set in the Cheshire countryside, it’s the kind of place that doesn’t push itself forward — which made it a good fit for Jenny and Martin.

This was an intimate wedding, built around a small group of people and a simple idea: keep things relaxed, keep it personal, and don’t overcomplicate it.

From the start, the day moved at its own pace. No rushing between moments, no packed schedule. Just space to enjoy it.

Lady Grey Farm works beautifully for smaller weddings. Everything is close, easy, and connected, which means guests naturally spend time together rather than drifting off in different directions.

It felt more like a gathering than an event, and that’s always when things feel most real.

The ceremony was simple and quietly emotional. With fewer people in the room, every reaction mattered more. Small smiles, glances, hands squeezing tighter, the kind of moments that would be easy to miss if the day was louder.

Nothing felt staged. Nothing needed to be. It was enough just as it was.

After the ceremony, everything softened even more. Drinks, conversations, people catching up properly without checking the time.

Photos were woven into the day rather than set apart from it. A short walk, a few quiet moments together, then straight back to everyone else. Jenny and Martin never disappeared, and the day kept its natural rhythm.

Steph & Alex at Owen House Wedding Barn

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:13:08 GMT

A big, high-energy wedding at Owen House Wedding Barn in Cheshire. A boho-inspired dress, a tuxedo, and a venue that set the tone for the whole day.

Owen House Wedding Barn isn’t subtle — and neither was Steph and Alex’s wedding. Set in the Cheshire countryside, it’s one of those venues that feels more like a creative space than a traditional wedding barn. Bold, eclectic, and full of personality.

From the start, this felt like a big celebration. The kind of day where everyone’s all in, the energy is high, and nothing feels overly polished for the sake of it.

Steph’s dress was boho-inspired, relaxed and stylish, but still made for impact. It moved, it caught the light, and it felt made for a venue like Owen House — cool without trying too hard.

Alex went the other way with a tuxedo. Clean, sharp, and confident. Together, it worked perfectly. Different styles, same energy. It summed them up pretty well.

Owen House Wedding Barn has a vibe all of its own. Industrial textures, unexpected details, spaces that don’t follow the usual wedding rules.

Steph and Alex leaned into that. Nothing felt toned down or traditional. The venue wasn’t just the backdrop, it was part of the story, and the wedding followed its lead.

This is the kind of place where documentary wedding photography really comes into its own. There’s always something happening, always a moment worth catching.

The ceremony was full. Not just in numbers, but in feeling. Friends and family packed into the space, reactions happening everywhere you looked.

No awkward silences. No stiff formality. Just emotion, laughter, and that sense that everyone was exactly where they wanted to be.

Once the ceremony wrapped up, the pace never really dropped. Drinks, conversations, people moving between spaces, the whole day had momentum.

Photos stayed relaxed and quick. Short breaks, natural light, then straight back into it. Steph and Alex didn’t disappear, and that kept the energy exactly where it should be.

As evening rolled in, Owen House came into its own. Lights low, music up, and a dance floor that stayed busy.

Big weddings need a space that can handle them. This one did that effortlessly. By the end of the night, it felt more like a great party than a wedding, which is always a good sign.

If you’re planning a wedding that’s bold, modern, and unapologetically fun, Owen House Wedding Barn is hard to beat. It suits couples who want their day to feel like them, not like a template.

If you’re getting married here and want photos that reflect the energy, the movement, and the moments that actually matter, that’s always the focus. Check availability for your wedding here

Caitlin & Tom at Browsholme Hall

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 12:02:12 GMT

An intimate wedding at Browsholme Hall and The Tithe Barn near Clitheroe. A small guest list, close friends and family, and a dog as ring bearer.

Browsholme Hall doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to. Set just outside Clitheroe, it’s calm, understated, and quietly impressive, which made it a perfect fit for Caitlin and Tom.

This wasn’t a wedding built for a crowd. It was built around the people they’re closest to, the kind of day where everyone knows each other and nothing feels forced. Add their dogs into the mix, including one with the all-important job of ring bearer. And it was always going to be relaxed in the best possible way.

From the start, the day felt intentional. No rushing, no over-planning. Just close friends, family, and space to breathe.

Browsholme Hall and the Tithe Barn work brilliantly for this kind of wedding. The setting is historic, but it doesn’t feel stuffy. Everything flows naturally from one moment to the next, which makes it easy to forget the camera is even there.

The ceremony took place in the Tithe Barn — simple, intimate, and full of feeling. Everyone was close enough to see the reactions, the smiles, the nerves.And then came the dogs.

Caitlin and Tom’s dog made their way in as ring bearer , immediately cutting through any formality that might have been left. It was one of those moments that reminds everyone why smaller weddings work so well and nothing feels staged, and the best moments happen without trying.

Once the ceremony was done, the rest of the day just… happened. Drinks, conversations, people catching up without looking at the time.

Photos were kept easy. Short walks around the grounds, natural light, nothing posed for the sake of it. Caitlin and Tom never disappeared from their own wedding, which is always how it should be.

Browsholme’s grounds are perfect for this with quiet corners, soft light, and space that doesn’t feel manicured within an inch of its life.

The energy stayed the same all day. Relaxed. Comfortable. No pressure to turn it into something it wasn’t.

Their dogs stayed close, guests settled into the space, and the whole day felt more like a really good gathering than a formal wedding. The kind you don’t want to rush through.

Browsholme Hall and the Tithe Barn are ideal if you want a wedding that feels grounded and personal. Historic without being stiff. Beautiful without trying too hard.

If you’re planning an intimate wedding at Browsholme Hall and want photos that feel honest, relaxed, and a bit rough around the edges in the best way, that’s exactly the kind of day I love documenting.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 14:53:59 GMT

Ellie & Will’s Intimate Wedding at The Out Barn, Clitheroe

Ellie and Will’s wedding at The Out Barn was the kind of day that felt quietly special from start to finish. Intimate, thoughtful and completely personal, it was full of small details that reflected what they love, especially their shared obsession with Italy.

From homemade limoncello to their two golden retrievers playing a big part in the day, everything felt relaxed and true to them. It was a wedding that wasn’t about doing things a certain way but about enjoying the people and moments that mattered most.

The morning was calm and unhurried, with plenty of time to enjoy the little moments. Ellie and Will had put a lot of thought into the details, many of them inspired by their love of Italy.

One of the highlights was the homemade limoncello, which they’d made themselves and shared with guests later in the day. It was a simple touch, but one that said a lot about them — personal, meaningful, and done just because they loved it.

The ceremony itself was intimate and emotional, with everyone close enough to feel part of it. And then came one of those moments that instantly relaxes a room. Ellie and Will’s two golden retrievers making their way down the aisle.

One of them had the important job of ring bearer, which brought a lot of smiles and laughter and set the tone perfectly. It wasn’t polished or staged, just real, and exactly right for them.

We kept photos simple and relaxed with short walks, natural light, and moments as they happened. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed, just a reflection of how the day actually felt.

Ellie and Will’s wedding is a great example of how well The Out Barn works for couples planning an intimate, relaxed celebration with plenty of personality.

Relaxed Summer Wedding at Styal Lodge, Cheshire | Bethan & Karl

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 13:38:45 GMT

A relaxed summer wedding at Styal Lodge in Cheshire with laid-back daytime vibes and an incredible party at night.

Styal Lodge is one of those Cheshire wedding venues that just works perfectly for couples who want their day to feel relaxed, personal and full of genuine moments — and Bethan and Karl’s summer wedding was exactly that.

From a calm, laid-back morning to an absolutely buzzing party in the evening, their day at Styal Lodge had the best of both worlds. No rigid timelines, no awkward posing — just great people, great energy, and a proper celebration once the sun went down.

As a Styal Lodge wedding photographer, this is exactly the kind of wedding I love documenting.

Styal Lodge has become one of the most popular wedding venues in Cheshire, and it’s easy to see why. Set in the countryside just outside Manchester, it offers a beautiful balance of modern design and rural surroundings.

The barn-style ceremony space is flooded with natural light, which is ideal for natural, colourful wedding photography, while the open grounds give couples space to actually enjoy their drinks reception rather than disappear for photos for hours.

For Bethan and Karl, Styal Lodge suited their approach perfectly — relaxed in the day, then full-on party mode once the evening kicked off.

The morning of Bethan and Karl’s wedding felt calm from the start. No rushing, no stress — just friends, family and that unmistakable summer wedding atmosphere.

Bethan got ready onsite at Styal Lodge, which always makes the day flow better. It means everything stays in one place and couples can properly enjoy each moment without worrying about travel or logistics.

As a documentary wedding photographer, these quieter moments are just as important as the big ones — the laughs, the nerves, the hugs, and the anticipation before the ceremony begins.

Bethan and Karl’s ceremony was heartfelt, personal and full of genuine emotion. Styal Lodge’s ceremony space is ideal for this kind of wedding — intimate without feeling cramped, and bright without being overpowering.

Nothing felt staged or overly formal. Guests were fully present, reactions were natural, and the focus stayed exactly where it should be: on Bethan and Karl and the commitment they were making to each other.

This is where unobtrusive documentary wedding photography really shines — capturing the emotion as it unfolds, without interrupting it.

After the ceremony, the day flowed effortlessly into drinks and mingling outside. This is always one of my favourite parts of a wedding day at Styal Lodge — guests spread out across the grounds, conversations overlap, and couples actually get time to enjoy being newly married.

Rather than pulling Bethan and Karl away for long photo sessions, we kept everything relaxed and informal. Short pockets of photos, lots of movement, and plenty of space for real moments to happen naturally.

While the daytime was calm and relaxed, the evening was a completely different story — in the best possible way.

Once the music started, Bethan and Karl’s guests absolutely filled the dance floor. Styal Lodge is an incredible venue for evening celebrations, and this wedding made the most of it. Big dance moves, spontaneous singalongs, and the kind of energy that keeps building as the night goes on.

These are the moments couples often remember most — and documenting them honestly is just as important as the ceremony itself.

Bethan and Karl’s wedding is a perfect example of why Styal Lodge works so well for couples who want their wedding to feel relaxed, modern and fun.

Italian Destination Wedding at Masseria Fulcignano

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 09:26:58 GMT

Masseria Fulcignano Wedding Photographer. A Destination Wedding in Puglia, Italy

Flying from Manchester to Puglia for this wedding felt like stepping into holiday mode straight away, and Masseria Fulcignano couldn’t have been a better setting. Surrounded by olive trees and quiet countryside, it has that laid back, sun-soaked feel that instantly puts everyone at ease. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a rushed or formal kind of wedding weekend, it was all about enjoying the place and the people.

The celebrations actually kicked off the day before with a pool party, which was the perfect way for everyone to settle in. Lots of Aperol, sunshine, music, and plenty of laughs set the tone for the rest of the weekend. It gave everyone a chance to relax, shake off the travel, and just enjoy being together, and it made the wedding day itself feel even more natural and connected.

On the wedding morning, things were super chilled, with preparations happening around the masseria at a nice gentle pace. Doors open, music playing, friends popping in and out. There was no pressure, stress or rushing around . The ceremony took place outdoors among the olive trees, simple and personal, with beautiful light and lots of emotion. It felt intimate and honest, and typically Italian..

As the sun dipped, the celebrations flowed into a long Italian evening. Amazing food, plenty of wine, relaxed speeches and dancing under the stars. Photographing this wedding at Masseria Fulcignano was a reminder of how good destination weddings can be when they’re done this way! Chilled, joyful, and focused on spending real time together in an incredible place. One of the highlights of the evening was the neighbours dog crashing the speeches. The night finished off with an absolutely gigantic tiramisu, not your average wedding cake cut.

Katie + Paul's quirky train wedding! these guys hitched on the platform, had their wedding breakfast on an original steam train through East Lancashire, and danced the night away in a museum. I love how Katie + Paul did it their way, this really was a real celebration of them as a couple. It was my first time photographing a wedding here and I can honestly say it was a belter!

Their day was filled with real moments, plenty of laugh's, happy cries and drunken dancing, I love that I get to capture moments like these. These two are true Mancunians, their big day featured a cardboard Pep Guardiola and some awesome music from 'String Infusion' who played songs from Manchester bands old and new.

Santorini Destination Wedding

slatteryphoto@btinternet.com (Luke Slattery) — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 16:51:41 GMT

Kelsie + Jordan's Destination Wedding at Santo Wines, Kamari, Santorini

When Kelsie + Jordan asked me to photograph their Destination Wedding I couldn't pack my bags quick enough! They hitched at Santo Wines in Kamari, a secluded winery that sits high up in the mountains of this volcanic beauty of an island. Kelsie and Jordan have been together for 8 years, and this wedding took 2 years in planning. The day started on July 27th at a villa on a quiet side of the island called Santo Aloe, Kelsie and her mates started the party early while they were getting ready.

The villa was stunning, and perfect for bridal prep. The white walls and shuttered windows created some out of this world Santorini light, and when you love and chase light for a living its safe to say I was in heaven. It was straight from the villa to the service and celebration, Kelsie was advised on a later Wedding by her wedding planners to avoid the midday sun, they both decided on 6pm and the weather couldn't have been nicer.

After the conffetti madness calmed down I took the new Mr & Mrs White up to a small town called Castelli, way up to the top of Santorini. The locals couldn't have been more welcoming and we managed to get them in for some of Jordan and Kelsie's couple shots.

After some quiet time alone it was back to the celebration. These two swapped the slow first dance for some Zorba, what a party starter! they have a little one of their own and documenting the moment he was reunited (after 30minutes) with his Mum and Dad was one of my personal highlights of the day.

As the sun was setting the soft lighting was too much to miss, we had a little walk over to a traditional Greek church just a stones throw away from the reception venue. Then it was more partying to the early hours, plate smashing, crazy dancing and an awesome sparkler exit to top it off.
