Yorkshire Region Wedding Photographer of the Year!

Looking for the very best wedding photographer? I am pleased to announce that I was awarded Yorkshire Region Wedding Photographer of the Year 2019!

The British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) is an internationally recognised body that exists to support and promote professional photography. It sets high standards for its members who have to qualify to a recognised standard to become a member.

In the summer of 2019, I entered the three images that are featured here in the Yorkshire Region print competition. I was delighted to take first second and third place in the classical wedding category. In addition, I was awarded the coveted title of Yorkshire Region Wedding Photographer of the year.

So why should you book a professional photographer from a recognised body? Well firstly, because you can be sure that you have booked a professional who can deliver a high standard of images and will be friendly and efficient.

Choosing a wedding photographer is an important decision. The choice can be overwhelming. To try and make things easy for couples I have put together some information here that is intended to make choosing easier.

Firstly, do your research! Have a good look around. Try and find a photographer whose style you like. Arrange a visit. Ask to see complete weddings.

Don’t be fobbed off with one off, wow factor shots. If you can see a complete wedding, you will see whether that person can handle all aspects of a wedding.

Also ask if the photographer can show you weddings in all weather conditions! Can they show their skill at working in sunshine and in rain? There are no guarantees with the weather and there is no second chance!

If you would like further information, give me a call on 01482 629430.

Pre Wedding Photoshoot at Dunedin Country House

On Monday we met up with Vicki and Sam who are to be married at Dunedin Country House in East Yorkshire. The wedding will take place in March with close family and friends in attendance. We were greeted at Dunedin with a warm welcome and coffee and flapjack! It was a lovely start to the photoshoot and from past experience we know that this kind of welcome is the norm for Dunedin.

After a chat about Vicki and Sam arrangements, we headed outside for their pre wedding photoshoot. It was a little windy but we managed to find some shelter to take the photographs.

We are very much looking forward to photographing the wedding and look forward to sharing the photographs very soon!

A Cave Castle Wedding with Augustine and Sam

Yesterday we had our first wedding of 2020. Augustine and Sam were married in the Sandringham Suite at Cave Castle Hotel, at 1pm.

We started our day with Sam and his best man Ben. Sam’s dad also joined us for the groom portraits and there was much laughter.

Afterwards, we headed inside to do a few pre wedding bridal portraits of Augustine. She was enjoying a celebratory glass of champagne with bridesmaids Clementine, Debbie, Shauna and Holly.

The ceremony took place in the Sandringham Suite which has lots of character but no natural light so it provides a bit of a challenge for photography. The reading was delivered by Augustine’s sister Clementine and afterwards the happy couple enjoyed a celebratory drink with their guests.

It was a little blustery and cold outside, so we worked quickly to ensure guests were not handing around for too long.

Augustine and Sam opted for traditional coverage. So once we had completed their bride portraits, it was time for us to leave.

We wish Augustine and Sam a very happy married life together and look forward to sharing their wedding photography with them very soon!
