I am delighted to share the preview wedding photography for Lucy & Rhun who were married yesterday in Sproatley. The bride looked stunning in her dress from  Bridal Boutique, Sutton and bridesmaid Katy, Ellie, Emma, Beth, Lucy and  Llivern all looked amazing in their pastel pink dresses from Coast. When we arrived at the house, the girls were busy getting ready. It was very much a family occasion, with the marque decorations being made by family and friends, flowers by Lucy’s friend Rachael, at the Daisy Chain and the lovely wedding cake was made by Rhun’s auntie Dena, who was busy putting on the finishing touches whilst we took some photographs inside the marque. After the brides house, we met up with the boys in the Blue Bell and took the short walk to the church to take some quick photographs before the guests began to arrive. The tiny church was packed, and the vicar John, made us, and everyone else, very welcome. A small crowd of well-wishers gathered outside to greet the bride, who arrived with mum and dad, in keeping with tradition; a few minutes late. Emma and Bedwyr gave the readings and the Welsh contingent filled the church with their beautiful voices during the hymns. The happy couple exited the church in the summer sunshine and were showered with rose petal confetti before climbing aboard the tractor and trailer, that was driven by the bride’s godfather John. Guests enjoyed celebratory pimms and prosecco outside on the lawn, before heading inside for the wedding breakfast. Speeches caused much laughter and the bride and groom were serenaded by their Welsh family, led enthusiastically by the groom’s mum Helen! Lucy and Rhun had an action packed, fun day with their guests, and our brief was to photograph the wedding in a documentary style so’s they could spend their time with family and friends!  We had a great time photographing their wedding and look forward to sharing the rest of their photographs with them soon!

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.
