York Wedding Photographer at the Parsonage, Escrick with Clare & Craig

I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photography for Clare and Craig who were married yesterday at the Parsonage, Escrick near York. Despite the recent rain and wind, the weather was kind and we had a relatively mild, but more importantly, dry day, which meant that we were able to do some of the photographs outside. Clare looked gorgeous in her light gold dress from the Big Day, at Castleford and Craig looked super smart in his blue suit. We had a lovely morning with Clare and her mum Katy and everything ran to time which gave us a great opportunity to get some photographs of the bride before the ceremony. It was a really lovely day and family and friends gave the happy couple one of the biggest cheers we have ever heard, as they showered them with confetti. The festive decorations at the Parsonage provided a beautiful backdrop for the interior photographs once the sun had set. Clare and Craig are a really lovely couple and we had a fantastic day with them and their family and friends. We wish them all the very best in their future together.

Hull Wedding Photographer at Lazaat with Leigh & Marc

Congratulations to Leigh and Marc who were married yesterday at Lazaat Restaurant. We had a really lovely day with them and their family and friends despite the rain. Leigh looked stunning in her dress from Elite and her bridesmaids burgundy dresses looked beautiful against the golden autumn leaves on the trees. Marc and his groomsmen were kitted out by Greenwoods and looked super smart. We started the day at the brides parents house and were made very welcome by John and Michelle. Following the usual photographs of the bride and her attendants, we headed off to meet Marc at Lazaat. Despite the persistent drizzle, the boys braved the weather, and we managed to get some photographs before the ceremony. There were a few laughs during the service when Marc struggled to understand what the registrar was saying (she wasn’t from Hull!), and also a few tears from the little flower girl, Lydia, who was a little overwhelmed by the occasion. Guests enjoyed Bucks Fizz following the service, and were happy to dodge the rain showers to make sure we got the much needed photographs. Our bridal coat came in handy for Leigh, as she really felt the cold, but was wonderfully brave, posing outside for us. Just when we thought the rain had us beaten, having not had chance to throw the confetti, there was a brief respite, which allowed us to dash outside once again to get our shots! Leigh and Marc are a really lovely couple and it was a real pleasure photographing their wedding for them. We wish them every happiness in the future.

Joanne and Richards Wedding Photography – Elsham Hall, Lincolnshire

I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photography for Joanne and Richard who were married at Elsham Hall. The day started out very wet with a forecast for rain all day, However, this didn’t put a dampener on anything, as it is the bride who sets the tone for the day, and Joanne was quite simply a ray of sunshine! From the very beginning, Joanne was everything a bride should be; calm, graceful and happy and looked just stunning. We had a lovely relaxed morning with her and her mum and the bridesmaids and as everyone was ready early (a first I think!)so we were able to take our time with their photographs. We knew from this, that the rest of the day would be just perfect! Our arrival at Elsham was still a little overcast, but again our time with Richard and his groomsmen was relaxed and happy and I think the weather finally took the hint that it just was not going to be able to spoil this special day, because just as the happy couple exited the barn, the sun came out! Guests enjoyed cocktails in the courtyard and we quickly got on with the group photos, following which we had our time with Joanne and Richard to do their portraits. We had such a perfect day with Joanne and Richard which was mainly due to their calm and easy manner but also due to the fact that they were so organised and everything ran to time. This meant that we were able to make the most of the photography opportunities that Elsham has to offer. Elaine and the team at Elsham were on top form as usual and the barn looked beautiful. Joanne and Richard are a really lovely couple, were an absolute delight to work, and we wish them every happiness in the future.

Sarah and Kevin’s Wedding Photography, Rowley Manor, East Yorkshire

Our second wedding photography assignment this weekend was for Sarah and Kevin who were married at one of our favourite venues; Rowley Manor. Amanda and the team at Rowley always go the extra mile for their couples and Saturday was no exception. Sarah looked stunning in her dress from ‘Its all about the dress’ in Hedon and her flowers were provided by Milners in Goole. She was attended by three bridesmaids; Zoe, Libby, Teresa who all looked lovely in their royal blue dresses, and little flower girl Francesca. The groom and his attendants were kitted out by Len Becks and were great fun to work with! Special thanks to the bestsman Paul, who did a sterling job of round up everyone for the group photos. There was a real sense of calm in the air today, not to mention love. Sometimes at a wedding, you can actually feel the love in the room and today was just that sort of day – sigh! Sarah just radiated happiness and was an absolute pleasure to be with, as was Kevin and their wonderful family and friends. Thankfully no rain today and a slight breeze helped us along whilst we were doing the portrait of Sarah. It was a privilege to be a part of this special day and Sarah and Kevin are a really lovely couple. We wish them every happiness in their future life together and look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photographs with them.

Katie and John’s Pre Wedding Photography, Hull

Today we managed to dodge the recent rain showers, to do the pre wedding photography shoot for Katie and John, who are getting married next month and will be having their wedding reception at Lazaat, just outside of Cottingham, near Hull. Lazaat were kind enough to allow us to do the shoot there and following the shoot we had a chat about the arrangements for the big day. Katie is having eight bridesmaids and three flower girls, so we are very much looking forward to what is sure to be a really beautiful occasion with lots of colour and glamour! Having your photograph taken can be a little daunting for most people, but Katie and John were very natural and relaxed in front of the camera and really easy to work with, making my job so easy. The main challenge when photographing a venue that you have worked at before, is finding a new angle and not falling into the trap of reproducing the same images that you have done before. Luckily for me, the inspiration comes along easily and the gardens at Lazaat change with the seasons, so there were some new places for us to try out for the photography.
