Liverpool photographer turns wedding pictures into fairytale magic

Most brides dream of being a princess for the day with a fairytale wedding - and one wedding photographer is making all those dreams come true.

A Liverpool photography company has sparked a new wedding photography craze, by photoshopping brides into Disney-esque fairytale characters.

Graeme Garton and James Cosgrove - who met working in Tesco - have started a new trend among brides with their quirky wedding photo creations.

The pair, who started their wedding photography business in 2013, have been inundated with requests for the pictures since posting them online.

Before... ...and after!

Graeme says the idea started when a bride - who had planned her 'magical fairytale' wedding 'since she was a little girl' - was disappointed with the weather on her special day.

He said: "It started when we worked on a wedding where the bride had planned it within in an inch of her life.

"She had dreamed of this wedding since she was a little girl and she wanted it to be in Liverpool, but she was disappointed because it was overcast on the day and the weather just wasn't what she'd wanted.

"We decided to make up a few of the pictures into a fantasy style using pictures we'd already taken around the city, and brush patterns and special effects in photoshop and the result was really magical."

In the series of photographs shared with the ECHO, one bride has been transformed into a fairytale princess, complete with rabbits, giant lady birds and in another is even floating.

The pictures taken around Liverpool see the city transformed into something out of a Disney movie - complete with Cinderella's Castle.

Graeme says that the new style of wedding pictures have proved popular with brides.

He said: "People are asking us about them more and more, and while people don't get all of their wedding photos like this - they really enjoy having one or two done in this style.

"They'll usually get the normal pictures with their family etc, but these ones are just a nice extra touch."
