A Summer Wedding at Carlton Manor, East Yorkshire with Emma and Ian

It’s been a while since we photographed a wedding, but on Saturday we had the pleasure of capturing Emma and Ian’s special day.

The event took place at Carlton Manor on the outskirts of Aldbrough on the East Coast.

The day was a mix of sunshine and cloud, with a blustery wind playing havoc with the ladies hair!

We started the day with Emma and her bridesmaids who were all together getting ready in the bridal suite. The atmosphere was happy and relaxed. After taking a few pictures we headed downstairs to meet up  with Ian and his groomsmen for their portraits.

Once Emma had finished her preparations, we were able to take some beautiful portraits of her. After this she headed downstairs for the big event.

East Riding Registrars delivered a lovely service and this was followed by celebratory drinks and canapés outside in the lovely summer sunshine.

Speeches proceeded the wedding breakfast and guest where entertained by the singing waiters!

We had a wonderful day with Emma and Ian and their family and friends and we wish them all every happiness in their future.

 

Emma & Ian’s Pre wedding photoshoot at Carlton Manor

It’s been a while, but I am delighted to share my latest photoshoot. Emma and Ian are getting married in August at Carlton Manor in Yorkshire. We met up with them last week to discuss their plans and to take a few photographs to mark the occasion. We were fortunate to have a lovely sunny day following all of the recent rain.

Carlton Manor is surrounding by beautiful countryside and offers a really lovely setting for a wedding. Emma and Ian are a lovely couple and we are very much looking forward to capturing their special day!

A Nottingham Wedding with Jo & Beu

At the weekend, we photographed Jo and Beu’s wedding celebration at the Cosy Club in Nottingham City Centre.

The happy couple have waited a long time to celebrate with family and friends. They originally tied the knot in 2020 during Covid restrictions.

This weekends celebration started with a traditional Celtic hand tie ceremony that was conducted by Jo’s mum Samantha.

There was not a dry eye in the house following the beautiful service in which the couple exchanged their very own personal vows to one another.

From a photography point of view, this was both a gift and a challenge; with some stylish locations offering fabulous backdrops for the photographs, and some tight spaces with little available light.

This was probably one of the most enjoyable weddings that we have ever shot, not least because we have a personal connection to the couple, but also because they, and everyone else looked after us so beautifully.

We wish Jo and Beu the very best that life can offer, and thank them for allowing us to share and photograph their special day.

A Pre Wedding Photoshoot with Jo and Beu

I am pleased to share some images from a recent pre wedding photoshoot.

Jo and Beu got married in 2020 but are having their celebration in a few weeks time.

This one is a bit special for us as we’ve known Beu for a while and we are so happy to be able to photograph this special occasion!

A late summer wedding with Kayleigh and Jamie

At the weekend we photographed the gorgeous wedding of Kayleigh and Jamie.

The service took place at the magnificent Priory Church in Bridlington. We have not worked there before and were made to feel very welcome.

The Priory provided a stunning backdrop for photography.  The weather was on our side and we had a mix of sunshine, shade and even a bit of wind to provide some wedding veil drama!

The reception was held at Tickton Grange in Beverley which must be one of the best  venues in this region.

Once in while a couple comes along who are as lovely to be with as they are to photograph. Kayleigh and Jamie were exactly this!  Delightful to photograph and thoughtful and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we had a truly wonderful time working with them.
