I am delighted to share with you the preview wedding photographs for Ruth and Ritch who were married on Saturday at St Anthony’s church on Beverley Road. We started our day with the bride at home, photographing the details, before doing some lovely bridal portraits of Ruth, who looked stunning in her dress from Elite Bridal. Her flowers we from Floral Studio. By the time we met up with Ritch at the church, the rain had already started to fall so we had to work quickly to capture some photographs of Ritch with his best man Carl and brother Shaun, before everyone headed inside to await the bride. Ruth arrived in style in a white Rolls Royce, and Newland String played Pachelbels canon as her dad walked her down the aisle. We were made very welcome by the priest Anthony and deacon Bob and thankfully we were able to use the interior of the church for the group shots following the ceremony, as the rain had really set in by this time. The happy couple held their wedding reception at the Willerby Manor hotel where guests enjoyed a celebratory drink and canapés before sitting down for the formal wedding breakfast. Speeches were delivered in the traditional fashion by the brides father, the groom and the best man. Afterwards, the rain had eased and Ruth and Ritch accompanied us outside into the very soggy gardens at Willerby Manor to capture some quick bridal portraits. We had a wonderful day with Ruth and Ritch and we wish them lots of love and every happiness in their future life together.

At the weekend we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Carole and Nigel at Rise Hall. We started our day bright and early and when we arrived the girls were having their breakfast. Time flies on each and every wedding and more often than not, we don’t seem to have very much time for bridal portraits, but on Saturday Carole was ready early, which gave us plenty of time for this section of photography. Carole wore a stunning dress from Mori Lee and her flowers were from Helen’s Floral Designs. After this we headed into the lovely reception hall at Rise to meet up with Nigel and his groomsmen. They were running a little late so we had to work very quickly as the registrars soon arrived. Carole was escorted down the aisle by her father Andrew and Jess and Phil Simpson provided the musical accompaniment. After the service guests headed outside to enjoy a celebratory drink and we were able to do the formal family group photographs. The couples cake was made by Polka Dotty Cakes and the blossom trees were provided by Prop Hire. The traditional speeches were delivered after the meal by the brides father, the groom and the best man and we were then able to do some all important couple portraits, both inside and outside of Rise Hall. It was an action packed day with live music, a sparkler guard of honour, and all rounded off beautifully by an amazing firework display. We had a wonderful day with Carole and Nigel and we wish them every happiness in their future life together.
