Yesterday we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Jess and Phil, who were married at All Saints Church, South Cave. We had a fantastic day with them and their family and friends. Jess looked amazing in her Maggie Sottero Dress from Deborah Moore in Hessle. Her make up was done by Hayley Young, who did a fantastic job, as always. Even after a long day in the summer sunshine, Jess’s make up looked just as fresh as it did at the beginning of the day. Phil and the groomsmen hired their suits from Slaters. The cake was by Leni, flowers by Floral Studio, Hessle, and their vintage car ensured that they travelled in style. Reverend Mike at All Saints was a real joy to work with, and made us feel totally welcome. Phil’s Dad Paul delivered the reading, and the happy couple exited the church, in sunshine to the traditional sound of the church bells. Group photographs in the warm sunshine followed before Jess and Phil headed inside for their wedding breakfast. There was not a dry eye in the house, during some very emotional speeches and the bestman Dave, gave a wonderful heartfelt version of Can You Feel the Love, complete with personalised lyrics, to the delight of the crowd and the couple. We had a really lovely day with Jess, Phil and their family and friends, and wish them every happiness in their future life together.

I am pleased to share with you the preview wedding photography for Natasha and Steven who were married at St Mary’s church in Beverley, yesterday. We started the day at the brides grandparent’s house and were made very welcome by Beattie and Joe. The girls were busy getting ready and as always we took a few photographs of them as well as the all important little details. Natasha looked stunning in her dress from Samantha’s. It was rather special in lots of ways, but particularly because Natasha’s grandad Joe had bought it for her, having heard it was her favourite, but a little more than her budget allowed. After a few photographs of the bride, we headed out to see Steven and his groomsmen at the church. The weather held and before long the guests began to assemble, and we all waited excitedly for the arrival of the bride with dad, Mark. Our thanks to the Vicar Becky who was really very helpful and made our job so much easier. As the happy couple came down the aisle, the sun came out as they headed outside with family and friends to do the group photography. As always, the bells proved a bit of a challenge for us but we had a happy time working with the assembled group. Following a short journey, everyone enjoyed celebratory drinks at the Millhouse Restaurant in Skidby. The couple were greated by the band who came outside to play them out of the car, and into the the Millhouse ready for their reception. The Millhouse is such a lovely location, that we took the opportunity to do a few more photographs of the bride and groom and their attendants after the meal. Natasha and Steven are a great couple and we had a wonderful time photographing their special day. We are very much looking forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photography with them.
