Hull Wedding Photographer at the Mercure Grange, Willerby, Hull with Diane & John

I am delighted to share with you our final wedding of 2015! Diane and John tied the knot at the Mercure Grange Hotel in Willerby. Timing was tight on this one, and with the ceremony due to take place at 3pm, we had made arrangements to do the couple portraits before the ceremony, as it would be dark afterwards. Diane and John were lucky with the weather as the sun shone and it was relatively mild for the time of year. The ceremony got underway a little late, due to what can only be described as a technical hitch, and the happy couple joined their guests for drinks and canapes afterwards. We had a  tight window within which to complete the group photographs and with lots of small children to round up, it was no mean feat! Guests were entertained during the meal by the Singers Bella and by this stage the party was well underway. We wish Diane and John every happiness together and look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photographs with them.

York Wedding Photographer at the Parsonage, Escrick with Clare & Craig

I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photography for Clare and Craig who were married yesterday at the Parsonage, Escrick near York. Despite the recent rain and wind, the weather was kind and we had a relatively mild, but more importantly, dry day, which meant that we were able to do some of the photographs outside. Clare looked gorgeous in her light gold dress from the Big Day, at Castleford and Craig looked super smart in his blue suit. We had a lovely morning with Clare and her mum Katy and everything ran to time which gave us a great opportunity to get some photographs of the bride before the ceremony. It was a really lovely day and family and friends gave the happy couple one of the biggest cheers we have ever heard, as they showered them with confetti. The festive decorations at the Parsonage provided a beautiful backdrop for the interior photographs once the sun had set. Clare and Craig are a really lovely couple and we had a fantastic day with them and their family and friends. We wish them all the very best in their future together.

Pre Wedding Photography Mercure Grange Willerby – Diane & John

I am pleased to share the pre wedding photography for Diane and John who are getting married in December at the Mercure Grange Hotel in Willerby, near Hull. We met up with this lovely couple yesterday afternoon at the hotel and had a chat about the arrangements for their wedding photography. With every wedding we photograph, our main challenges are the available light and time, and this one will be no exception with the ceremony taking place late in the afternoon offering us no daylight, and a tight schedule packed with activity and one or two surprises! We will have to work very efficiently in order to capture each moment and make the most of every precious minute. A pre shoot is a great way for us to get to know our clients and to understand just what it is that they are looking for from their wedding photography. With Diane and John, capturing their family and in particular, their grandchildren is the main challenge of the day!  We are very much looking forward to capturing this very special Christmassy wedding with children being just where they should be at this special time of year, at the heart of the event!

Clare and Craig’s Pre Wedding Photography

I am pleased to share with you the pre wedding photography for Clare and Craig who are getting married in December. We met them at the Parsonage in Escrick, near York on a very damp dull November day. We had a lovely chat about their plans over a cup of tea in the lounge and felt as if we had know this lovely couple for ever. A brief shoot outside was a little curtailed by the damp and the drizzle but we still managed to get some lovely shots of the two of them. Winter weddings are always a challenge as people generally don’t want to go outside in the cold but we are hoping for a bright crisp clear day for the wedding!

Hull Wedding Photographer at Lazaat with Leigh & Marc

Congratulations to Leigh and Marc who were married yesterday at Lazaat Restaurant. We had a really lovely day with them and their family and friends despite the rain. Leigh looked stunning in her dress from Elite and her bridesmaids burgundy dresses looked beautiful against the golden autumn leaves on the trees. Marc and his groomsmen were kitted out by Greenwoods and looked super smart. We started the day at the brides parents house and were made very welcome by John and Michelle. Following the usual photographs of the bride and her attendants, we headed off to meet Marc at Lazaat. Despite the persistent drizzle, the boys braved the weather, and we managed to get some photographs before the ceremony. There were a few laughs during the service when Marc struggled to understand what the registrar was saying (she wasn’t from Hull!), and also a few tears from the little flower girl, Lydia, who was a little overwhelmed by the occasion. Guests enjoyed Bucks Fizz following the service, and were happy to dodge the rain showers to make sure we got the much needed photographs. Our bridal coat came in handy for Leigh, as she really felt the cold, but was wonderfully brave, posing outside for us. Just when we thought the rain had us beaten, having not had chance to throw the confetti, there was a brief respite, which allowed us to dash outside once again to get our shots!  Leigh and Marc are a really lovely couple and it was a real pleasure photographing  their wedding for them. We wish them every happiness in the future.
