Joannah and Paul – Wedding at the Holiday Inn, Hull Marina

I am delighted to share with you the preview of Joannah and Paul’s wedding photography. The happy couple were married yesterday at the Holiday Inn on Hull Marina. We started the day with Joannah and her bridesmaids Rhiannan, Alex, Amelia and little flower girl Rosie. They were all busy getting ready and Joannah’s mum Margaret was soon helping Joannah into her bespoke dress made specially for her by Studio by Design. The gorgeous flowers from Floral Elements completed the picture and we were able to grab some quick photographs before heading off to the meet the groom. A special mention to little usher Sam who was a real joy to work with as were Amelia and Rosie! Guests soon began to arrive, and as always time flew and the ceremony was soon underway. During the ceremony, Amelia and Sam gave a lovely reading after which Joannah and Paul read out their own special vows to one another. After the nuptials were completed, guests enjoyed a celebratory drink whilst being entertained by a magician! We had to dodge some rain showers whilst doing the group photography and following a quick photo session with the happy couple, the meal was served. Speeches were delivered in the traditional manner after the food, and we then concluded the remainder of the requested formal shots. After a short break, everyone gathered for the evening reception during which the cake was cut. The first dance followed this and soon guests were enjoying the party! We had a really lovely day with Joannah and Paul and their family and friends and wish them every happiness in their life together.

Pre Wedding Photography shoot with Emily and Michael at Elsham Hall, Lincolnshire

Yesterday we were at Elsham Hall, Lincolnshire for the pre wedding photography shoot with Emily and Michael, who are getting married in July. It was a really terrible day weather wise, with the wind howling and the rain lashing down. We took shelter in Elsham Halls lovely tea room and had a chat about the wedding arrangements with the happy couple. Fortunately just as we finished our discussion, the rain stopped and we were able to go into the gardens to grab a few quick photographs. The respite was brief and as we returned to the car, the rain started again! So much for the British summer! The best part of the day was getting together with Emily and Michael who are a lovely couple and are very much looking forward to photographing their wedding! Elsham Hall looked gorgeous, even in the rain, and will provide a lovely backdrop to Emily and Michaels special day.

Hull Wedding Photographer at The Millhouse Restaurant with Lucy & John

I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photography for Lucy & John who were married yesterday, at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Hessle, and held their wedding reception at the Millhouse Restaurant in Skidby. We started the day with the bride and her bridesmaid, Laura, Rebecca, Helen and Alex. The atmosphere was happy and relaxed and Lucy’s mum Carol, was busy making everyone, including us, feel right at home. Lucy looked beautifully elegant in her dress which was from the Bridal Oasis and Goole. We took some quick photographs of the bride in the garden before dashing off to meet the groom. We met up with John and his bestmen Matthew and Stephen at the church and had good fun taking their photographs. Time as always, was in short supply and before we knew it, guests soon began to arrive. Father Michael delivered a lovely service and following the ceremony the guests gathered in the garden whilst we did the groom photographs. These were delivered in record time and everyone was soon on their way to the Millhouse. Our thanks to the everyone in the bridal party, for coming with us on a short walk so that we could do something a little different with our photography. We took great care not to damage the crop, walking carefully in the tractor tracks. It was a little overcast but we were very thankful for a dry day. The room at the Millhouse looked wonderful and the happy couple were greeted with a round of applause from family and friends. We had a really lovely and relaxed day with Lucy and John, and their family and friends. We wish them a very happy married life together and look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photography with them.

Hull Wedding Photographer at Rudstone Walk with Kerry & Dave

Congratulations to Kerry and Dave who were married on Friday at Rudstone Walk, East Yorkshire. This blog has taken me a little longer than it would do normally, which is surprising in one sense, since this was an intimate gathering of close family and friends. The reason it took me so long, is because there are so many lovely photographs to choose from. We started the day bright and early at Kerry’s mum and dads home. Debbie and Wim made us feel very welcome and the house was beautifully decorated in shades of cream and taupe, providing the perfect backdrop for photography. When we arrived, Kerry was having her hair done, but was soon being helped into her gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress, by her bridemaids Sammy and Iona. A quick car journey to Rudstone Walk, and we found the groom agreeing the final cues for the music, with Sandra and her team. It was very windy outside, but Dave, Sam and Ben laughed and joked with each other whilst we took their photographs. The early arrival of the bride with her father, gave us the perfect opportunity to grab some quick shots before she went inside for the ceremony. Guests enjoyed drinks outside in the Spring sunshine whilst we all sheltered in the courtyard area and completed the family and group photography. We had a really wonderful day and Kerry and Dave were just fantastic to work with. As always, there is never enough time to do everything you would like to do as a photographer, but Kerry, Dave, Sam, Ben, Iona and Sammy were kind enough to give us a bit more time once the meal was over. I am so pleased they did, because it gave David and I, time to create something a little bit different for this gorgeous couple. There are lots more lovely photographs to come and I am very much looking forward to sharing the rest of the collection with Kerry and Dave. Thank you guys – you were totally amazing!
