Maisie and Jack literally planned to have a piss up in a brewery. And I’d say that in that singular goal, they succeeded! Their wedding day in Lancaster in September 2026 was filled with joy, mainly in the form of their whippets and a good pint. Despite them living in Yorkshire, and both their entire families being based there, Maisie and Jack decided to get married in Lancaster - where they met at university, where they fell in love and started a life together. In typical northern fashion, after the driest, hottest summer ever, it chucked it down all day.
My day began with Jack and his friends as they finished getting ready before heading to the pub. From there the boys hopped on a minibus to Ashton Memorial, to meet their guests while Maisie got ready with her bridesmaids and flower girl. Makeup and hair done, the girls hung out and got ready steadily, while the flower girl blew up balloons, jumped all over the bed and intermittently watched KPop Demon Hunters.
The ceremony began with Bridgerton-style violin versions of Maisie and Jack’s favourite songs to entertain their guests. My favourite part of shooting weddings at Lancaster Memorial is the marble floor, which, together with the huge windows, make it an absolute pleasure to photograph. The ceremony was brief and beautiful, and afterwards we braved the rain for a confetti photo and some group photos, then Jack and Maisie went back into the Memorial for some couple photos. We attempted to take some in the butterfly house too, but it turns out Jack’s butterfly-phobia is real after all, and we scarpered quite quickly.
Maisie and Jack had their reception at Lancaster Brewery, just a few minutes away from the Memorial. There they shared food, pulled pints, and had a proper party with their mates.
