Lincolnshire Wedding Photographer at Normanby Hall with Samantha and Kenny

We had a lovely day yesterday, doing the wedding photography for Samantha and Kenny, who were married at Holy Trinity Church in Barrow on Humber, and held their wedding reception at Normanby Hall. The day started bright and early with Samantha and her bridesmaids Karen, Linsey and Inessa and little flower girl Taylen. Samantha was ready early for us which gave us some time to do her bridal portraits outside in the garden. The theme for the wedding was woodland fairies, and in keeping with this, the bride walked barefoot down the aisle to meet her groom Kenny, who looked very handsome in his army uniform. Samantha arrived at church in the car which originally belonged to her grandad, but was driven by Uncle Jason who also gave her away. The happy couple excited the church to the sound of the bells and following the group photographs, everyone headed off to Normanby Hall for a celebratory drink. Our portraits of the couple were done during a brief walk around the gorgeous gardens at Normanby Hall, and as always our time with them was brief and we had to return them to their family and friends. Samantha and Kenny are a lovely couple and we wish them every happiness in their life together and look forward to sharing their full collection of wedding photographs with them.

Pre Wedding Photography with Claire and Steven at Boothferry Golf Club, Howden

We had a lovely time yesterday with Claire and Steven, on their pre wedding photography shoot at Boothferry Golf Club. They are getting married in August at Eastrington Church and will be holding their wedding reception at the Golf Club. The recent weather has been wet and changeable and yesterday was not exception. It was a little overcast during the shoot but the couple and the location more than made up for the lack of sunshine! We really enjoyed the shoot and are very much looking forward to the wedding.

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.

Hull, East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Wedding Photographer – BIPP Associate Panel

Last year, I was delighted to put together a set of wedding photographs that formed my qualifying submission to the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP). BIPP is an internationally recognised organisation with qualifications that offer a benchmark for excellence for professional photographers. Each qualification represents a level of expertise, skill and achievement in a given field. There are three levels of qualification each reflecting an increased level of experience and ability; Licentiate, Associate and Fellowship. I joined in 2014 as a provisional member with a requirement to submit a successful, qualifying portfolio within twelve months. The submission required a minimum of 25 images that had been taken at real weddings, with real fee paying clients. With the support of my mentor Kevin Wilson, the cooperation of my clients, and after a great deal of hard work, my panel was ready for submission early 2015. To my surprise and joy, I was awarded the Associate level! I share with you here, the images that achieved the Associate qualification in wedding photography. My thanks to the couples, throughout Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, who choose me for their wedding photography as without them I would not have been able to put together this panel of wedding photography. I am now working towards achieving the Fellowship, one of the most coveted qualifications in wedding photography.

Hull Wedding Photographer at the Mercure Grange, Willerby, Hull with Diane & John

I am delighted to share with you our final wedding of 2015! Diane and John tied the knot at the Mercure Grange Hotel in Willerby. Timing was tight on this one, and with the ceremony due to take place at 3pm, we had made arrangements to do the couple portraits before the ceremony, as it would be dark afterwards. Diane and John were lucky with the weather as the sun shone and it was relatively mild for the time of year. The ceremony got underway a little late, due to what can only be described as a technical hitch, and the happy couple joined their guests for drinks and canapes afterwards. We had a tight window within which to complete the group photographs and with lots of small children to round up, it was no mean feat! Guests were entertained during the meal by the Singers Bella and by this stage the party was well underway. We wish Diane and John every happiness together and look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photographs with them.
