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 & John’s Wedding Photography – Hessle, East Yorkshire & Lazaat

I am delighted to share with you the wedding photography for Katie and John who were married at All Saints Church, Hessle and held their wedding reception at Lazaat, near Cottingham in East Yorkshire. I first met Katie when she was a bridesmaid at a wedding I photographed and was delighted when she choose us for her wedding photography! I think that Katie wins the prize this year for the most bridesmaids (who were all absolutely gorgeous) and we had great fun working with, Kerry, Lucy, Laura, Rachael, Kimberley, Hannah, Becky and Sophie, not to mention her adorable flower girls including daughter Lila, Isabelle and Madeleine! The bride looked totally stunning in her dress from Samantha’s and the ladies from the shop did a wonderful job of looking after Katie whilst fitting her dress. Katie’s sister-in-law Krysti and Becky, weaved their magic with the bride and bridesmaids hair, and Katie’s make up was done by the very talented Victoria Farr. As as always with Victoria, it was just perfect and lasted the whole day. The groom, the bestman and ushers looked very cool in their suits from Greenwoods and the transport was provided by Silver Lane Cars and the bridesmaid arrived in a fanfare of colour on Andy Lane’s Yorkshire Party Bus.  The beautiful flowers were done by Linda at ‘A Perfect Wedding’, and their fragrance was just divine, and Rachel’s Cakery provided the stunning colour coordinated cake. Despite a couple of heavy thunderstorms, it was a really fantastic day, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with Katie & John and their wonderful friends and family. As always, we find that rainy days offer us a bit of a challenge in looking for new ways to do our photographs, and this day was no exception and we made very good use of the light curtain at Lazaats. Special thanks go to the wonderful team at Lazaats who were kind enough to give us 20 minutes outside with the happy couple, once the rain had ceased. Thank you, it made such a difference to Katie and John, but also made our job just a little easier! I am very much look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photography with Katie and John soon and wish them both every happiness together.

Vicky & Sam’s Pre Wedding Photography, Hallmark Hotel, North Ferriby

Here is the pre wedding photography for Vicky and Sam who are getting married in September at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby. We had a lot of laughs with Vicky and Sam last night, during the photography shoot at the Hallmark and really enjoyed our time with them. They have opted for an informal celebration with a small group of family and friends, so we are very much looking forward to the day. The pre wedding photography shoot is really invaluable to us for getting to know our clients and helps us to understand what they are hoping for from their wedding photography.

Joanne and Richard’s Pre Wedding Photography at Elsham Hall

It was a glorious day yesterday for our pre wedding photography shoot, with Joanne and Richard, who are getting married in September, at Elsham Hall. Joanne and Richard are a really lovely couple and very easy to work with and, as ever, the gardens at Elsham Hall provided endless options for photography. We spent most of the time in the walled garden but also used some of our favourite spots as well! I could have gone on for ever, wandering around with the camera and this couple, but sadly had to let them go after 45 minutes. I am very much looking forward to working with them on their special day!

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

Here is the pre wedding photography for Sarah and Kevin, who are getting married later this month, at Rowley Manor, Little Weighton in East Yorkshire. Given the recent weather we were lucky to get a dry, warm evening for our shoot. The gardens at Rowley were looking lovely and we were able to sit outside for our chat about the formal arrangements for the wedding. Sarah and Kevin are a lovely couple and were very chilled and easy to work with. We took a relaxed stroll around, chatting and taking photographs as we went and before we knew it, it was time for Sarah and Kevin to meet up with Amanda to go over the arrangements. We are very much looking forward to the wedding and look forward to sharing the photographs soon!
