TOTS and toddlers from a popular nursery in Barrow will no doubt be quick to spot some familiar faces in today’s set of wedding photographs.

Well-known wedding photographer Steve Hillman captured a stunning picture of the bridge Katherine Cockburn with her colleagues from Bright Horizons Day Nursery in Barrow.

Katherine and Tony first met on a night out in Barrow over the Easter weekend and at Christmas 2015 the couple got engaged.

“Tony had big plans to propose on a dog walk to Abbott’s wood (one of our favourite walks), but because it rained so much he ended up proposing at home on Christmas morning, Katherine, 28, said.

The couple, of Sheeplands Grove, chose to celebrate their upcoming nuptials at two very distinct locations.

While the hen and her friends opted for a visit to Bowness with a cruise on the lake the stags headed off to Benidorm for a weekend in March.

They got married at St Mary’s Church in Duke Street on June 9 in front of their family and friends.

Katherine was joined by three bridesmaids - her best friend Justine Leigh, and sisters-in-law Susan Wilson and Lindsey Cockburn who wore dresses from Little Mistress.

The groom’s nerves were tamed by best men Andrew Brannon and Andrew McLarnon with support from ushers Craig Thompson, Dan Thompson and Rob Prescott.

After the church service the wedding party headed to Abbey House Hotel for the reception.

The couple’s first dance was to Van Morrison’s Brown-eyed Girl and entertainment was provided by Shed Sessions.

Katherine’s dress and veil were supplied by Fellside Brides of Kendal, formally Marrime Bridalwear, while the tiara was supplied by Jon Richard.

Jenny Green was responsible for the stunning hair and make-up and the flowers were provided by Floral and Hardy of Ulverston.

The couple were blessed on the day with plenty of sun which provided the perfect backdrop for photographer Steve Hillman.

“The weather on the day was absolute amazing we certainly benefited from this summer’s heatwave,” the new Mrs Cockburn said.

“We would also like to thank all our friends and family who help make the days so special.

"All our suppliers were amazing and come highly recommended.”

After their big day the couple travelled to Gran Canaria for a10-day honeymoon.
