Leigh & Marc’s Pre Wedding Photography – Lazaat, Near Nottingham

Here is the latest pre wedding photography shoot and today it features Leigh and Marc who are getting married at Lazaat in October. Unfortunately, the weather was horrible and rain prevented us from taking advantage of the gardens at Lazaat, but thankfully the team there were happy for us to do a few photos inside. Hopefully Leigh and Marc have now had their allocation of rain and the big day will be bright and sunny!

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.

Vicky & Sam’s Wedding Photography – Hallmark, North Ferriby

I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photography for Vicky and Sam who were married at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby this weekend. This was a small intimate wedding attended by close family and friends. Vicky looked stunning in her dress and the beautiful coral of the bridemaids dresses provided a splash of colour. The groomsmen wore suits from Slaters and the lovely flowers were provided by Lucy at Orange Blossom.  The room at the Hallmark looked lovely and after a short but sweet ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed a celebratory drink outside. Although a little chilly in the shade, the weather stayed nice for the happy couple and we were able to do our usual photography outside with the Humber Bridge as our backdrop. Vicky and Sam are a really lovely couple and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. I look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photography with them soon.

Laura and Paul’s Wedding Photography – Elsham Hall, Lincolnshire

I am delighted to share with you the wedding photography for Laura and Paul who were married on Sunday at the fabulous Elsham Hall. Laura looked absolutely stunning in her dress from Ivory Bridal in Barton and was escorted to Elsham by ‘Arrive in Style” one of our favourite wedding car companies! Bridesmaids Melanie, Victoria, Chloe and Raisah looked lovely in their pastel coloured dresses and the theme was carried through beautifully inside the barn by BV Decor. As always, Elsham Hall provides endless lovely locations for wedding photography and we were, once again spoilt for choice. The difference for us today was that Laura and Paul gave us their complete trust and also time, which meant that we were able to create some really lovely photographs for them. Big thanks to the bestman Patrick and the ushers for doing a sterling job of rounding everyone up for the group photographs, and also to the bridal party who were kind enough to join us at the lake after dinner, to work a bit more magic. All brides are beautiful to us, but Laura will always have a special place in our hearts because of her calm and elegant demeanour. Paul was every inch the dashing groom and again, such a joy to be with. Laura and Paul are a truly lovely couple, easy to be around, fun to work with and a total delight to photograph!  Thank you for choosing us – it was a total joy!
