Pre Wedding Photography at Cave Castle with Emily & James

Its going to be a very busy week for pre wedding photography shoots and yesterday we met up with Emily and Jamie who are getting married at Cave Castle Hotel in August. Before the shoot we had a chat about the arrangements for their special day which will be a gathering of close family and friends. After this, we had a wander around the gardens at the Castle which always provide a lovely backdrop for wedding photography. Emily and Jamie are a lovely couple and we are very much looking forward to photographing their wedding.

Elsham Hall wedding photography with Emily & Michael

I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photography for Emily and Michael who were married yesterday at Elsham Hall. We had a wonderful day which started with the bride and her bridemaids Laura, Emma, Abbey and Katie. When we arrived the girls were almost ready and were having the finishing touches done to their hair and make up. Emily’s hair was done by Joanna Lamb and Charlotte Littleworth did her make up. Her dress was from Sugar and Spice and the look was completed with her lovely bouquet which was done by friend Sally. Following the bridal portraits, Emily had her photograph taken with mum and dad Emma and Tony and then  it was time for us to head off to meet the groom. Our portraits of the groom and his bestman Ash, and ushers Tom and Liam were done at Elsham before the bride arrived in style with All Occasion Cars. The beautiful claret theme was carried through into the barn with decorations by BV Decor and before long the all important ceremony was underway. The happy couple then enjoyed a privacy drive whilst guests enjoyed their drinks in the courtyard. The group photography was done in between showers and we had good fun with family and friends alike. Elsham Hall provides some gorgeous backdrops for wedding photography and we very much enjoyed our quick portrait session with the happy couple before the wedding reception. There was much laughter and a few tears during the speeches and a very entertaining delivery of ‘You’ve got a friend in me!” from best man Ash.   It was a strange day weather wise, being very humid with bouts of sunshine and showers, but ultimately it was mainly a little dull and overcast which meant we had to work a little bit harder to give Michael and Emily the kind of photography they deserve. We had a fantastic day with Emily, Michael and their guests. Dad Tony and Grandad Brian had us in hysterics with their tales of past weddings and the story of the trousers that were made to measure for the 6ft 5inch groom. The only trouble was the chap was 5ft 6inches! Emily and Michael are a lovely couple and we really enjoyed photographing their wedding. We are very much looking forward to sharing the full collection of photographs with them.

Wedding photography at the Mercure Grange with Hayley and Gareth

We had a wonderful day yesterday photographing the wedding of Hayley and Gareth at the Mercure Grange Hotel, in Willerby. We started the day at the brides parents house and were made very welcome by Ann and Kevin. The girls were busy getting ready and we got on with our shots of all of the carefully selected detail. Ann almost wore herself out before the day started, running up and down the stairs and making sure everyone had what they needed. Hayley looked stunning in her dress from Confetti and Lace in Leeds and her look was completed with the gorgeous flowers from Bo’Kay’s. Bridemaids, Clairm Natalie, Ellen, Lauren, Rachale, Mia, Ameira and Iyla looked so pretty in their dresses and the little ones had lots of fun pulling up grandmas plants in the garden and attacking grandads shed! We met up with Gareth, and his groomsmen at the hotel and quickly completed their portraits whilst guests began to arrive. The ceremony was soon underway and afterwards the happy couple enjoyed a celebratory drink with friends and family. We were a little pushed for time yesterday which meant that we had to crack on and get the formal group photographs done quickly. This was a bit of a challenge with the little flower girls who just wanted to play about and have fun! We had a lovely chat with Gareth’s Uncle John who had flown all the way from Australia the day before. After the meal Hayley and Gareth came outside and we had a quick twenty minutes within which to do their couple portraits. We had a great day working on this wedding and we wish Hayley and Gareth every happiness together in the future.

Pre Wedding Photography with Clare and Liam at Hessle Foreshore

It’s been a busy for time for pre wedding photography in Hull, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this month, and I am pleased to share with you the photography for Clare and Liam who are getting married in August. We met up with them yesterday at Hessle foreshore, as they will be having their wedding reception in a marquee at Hessle Rugby Club. Hessle foreshore is one of my all time favourite locations for photography, so I really enjoyed this one. Clare and Liam are a lovely couple and were very relaxed in front of the camera and with each other, so we are very much looking forward to sharing their special day, and delivering some beautiful wedding photographs for them.

Pre Wedding Photography with Claire and Steven at Boothferry Golf Club, Howden

We had a lovely time yesterday with Claire and Steven, on their pre wedding photography shoot at Boothferry Golf Club. They are getting married in August at Eastrington Church and will be holding their wedding reception at the Golf Club. The recent weather has been wet and changeable and yesterday was not exception. It was a little overcast during the shoot but the couple and the location more than made up for the lack of sunshine! We really enjoyed the shoot and are very much looking forward to the wedding.
