A Wedding at the Willerby Barn

Congratulations to Caroline and Mark who were married at the Willerby Barn on Friday.

It was our first time photographing this stunning venue and what a fabulous time everyone had.

We started early with Caroline to do her bridal portraits. The room at the Barn is perfect for this kind of photography, with simple but stylish surroundings.

Afterwards we met up with Mark and Adey to complete their pre wedding photographs outside at the front of the venue.

Little flower girl Phoebe stole everyones heart practising her walk down the aisle, before the arrival of the bride with her father, Keith.

Phoebe caused much laughter when she managed to knock over her basket of confetti during the service.

After the service, guests enjoyed a celebratory drink on the terrace in the sunshine before heading inside for the wedding breakfast.

Speeches followed and before long, the evening guests arrived and it was time for the first dance.

We had a lovely day with Caroline and Mark and wish them every happiness in their future life together.

 

A pre wedding photoshoot at Tickton Grange

Today we met up with Kayleigh and Jamie, who were originally due to hold their wedding reception at Tickton Grange in 2020.

Then the world was hit by Covid and their plans were put on hold.

They were very relaxed and easy to work with on the pre shoot.

We are therefore very much looking forward to photographing their special day in August!

A pre wedding photoshoot with Caroline and Mark at the Willerby Barn

Earlier this week we met up with Caroline and Mark at the Barn in Willerby. They are getting married there in July. It was our first time at the Barn and it certainly provides a beautiful space for weddings.

The pre shoot is a great opportunity for us to get to know our couples a little better and to understand what they would like to see from their wedding photography. It also offers the chance to explain how we will work on the day. Time is always in short supply at a wedding and we always ensure that the photography does not dominate proceedings.

We are very much looking forward to photographing Caroline and Marks special day.

A Valentines Day Wedding with Sarah and Lee

On Monday we photographed the wedding of Sarah and Lee.

It was a very blustery, wet Valentines Day which meant we were unable to get outside for the photography.

However, the weather did not dampen the spirits and we had a lovely, relaxed day with Sarah and Lee.

We were lucky that Lazaats had a small covered area. This gave us the opportunity to take some of the couple portraits outside.

We have shot a lot of weddings but seldom has one been as calm and organised as this one. Sarah and Lee had left plenty of time for photography and were both on time for their portraits.

Baby Arabella was beautifully behaved and took the whole thing in her small stride.

Sarah and Lee are a really lovely couple and we wish them every happiness in their future life together.

A Winter Wedding with Rachael and Paul

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Rachael and Paul at Rise Hall.

It was a rainy blustery day which meant that we shot all of our photographs inside. Rise Hall is a good option for a winter wedding as it provides lots of space to do this.

We started the day with Rachael who was getting ready in the Swift Suite. After taking a few photographs of the bride and the dress, we headed into the hall to meet up with Paul and his groomsmen.

Rachel looked stunning in her dress from Coates Couture and we were able to take some quick portraits of her before she headed downstairs for the ceremony.

Rachael’s son escorted her into the room before handing over to her dad who walked her down the aisle.

The happy couple were piped out of the room and joined guests for a celebratory drink before the group photographs.

Speeches from the groom, best man and the couples sons entertained guests before dinner was served.

The groom and the rest of the guests were surprised by a performance from the Ultimate Singing Waiters and much fun was had by all!

The traditional cake cutting took place before the first dance. Following this the party got into full swing.

Rachael and Paul are a lovely couple and we wish them every happiness in their life together.
