The Ashton Memorial Lancaster

I usually meet up with the bride and groom about a month before the wedding. It is an opportunity for them to give me details of the timing for the day. We look at the possibilities for the photo backgrounds and where the group photos can be taken.

These two photos leave you in no doubt where the wedding is taking place. Even if you don't know Lancaster you will know the Ashton Memorial if you have driven on the M6. It is certainly a landmark and it great for the background in wedding photographs.

The photograph on the left is only a couple of minutes from the building. The big difference in the second photo is that you have to go down a lot of steps. The beauty of taking these photos, apart from the obvious reason of getting the building in the background, is that the bride and groom have taken a walk to get there. It might take ten or fifteen minutes to walk there but it gives a lot more opportunities for great photos.

Happy snapping
