We had already organised with Father Gerry, who had kindly agreed for us to take all of the photographs inside the church. The church itself is a magnificent building over 120 years old and is absolutely beautiful inside, so the backgrounds for the photography couldn't have been better.We moved on to Our Lady's and met up with Chris, wedding organiser now at the club, who we previously knew from the Suites Hotel Knowsley. The room for the reception had been laid out beautifully.
