If there was just one church I could photograph weddings at in Liverpool, Ullet Road Church would be it. Reverend Phil is welcoming and very funny, always makes me laugh with a joke or two. When shooting in a church, I am always conscious of being respectful, so being given the great vantage point of shooting from the pulpit means I get an amazing view of the whole space without disrupting the proceedings. I also love how the church supports their couples and are inclusive of all races, genders, sexuality, spiritual beliefs etc. This is something very important to my values as a moedrn wedding photographer. The event space is beautiful, with the cloisters, library and garden available for cocktails post-ceremony, and a large Tudor style reception room for dinner and dancing.

Practicalities were also well covered: having kitchen facilities available was a great bonus, and the free on-street parking on the surrounding roads made arriving and leaving a breeze. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this Milonga to any...
