Pre wedding photography with Joanne & Neil at Cave Castle Hotel

We had a lovely afternoon with Joanne and Neil yesterday going over the arrangements for their wedding in October. The couple will tie the knot at All Saints Church, South Cave and will hold their wedding breakfast at Cave Castle Hotel. After the chat, we headed outside for a walk around the lovely grounds at the Castle, during which, we took some photos of Joanne and Neil. Luckily the rain held off for our shoot but it was a little dark and overcast. Our pre wedding photo shoot is a great way for the couple to get to know how we work, and ensures that they get the most out of their wedding photography on the big day, as well as giving us a chance to really understand what our couple is wanting from their wedding photography. Joanne and Neil were really easy to work with and we are very much looking forward to photographing their special day!

Pre wedding photography with Jessica & Peter at Saltmarshe Hall

We had a lovely time with Jessica and Peter, doing their pre wedding photography shoot, at Saltmarshe Hall, yesterday. It was our first time at this lovely venue and we are very much looking forward to doing the wedding photography there. It was a rainy day but we were lucky in that the sun put in a brief appearance and the rain held off whilst we were doing the photography. Jessica and Peter were happy and relaxed in front of the camera, so I am sure that we will have a great day with them when the time finally comes!

Hull Wedding Photographer at the Millhouse, Skidby with Lora & Dudley

Lora and Dudley were married on Saturday at the Millhouse Restaurant, Skidby. We had a wonderful day photographing their wedding. We started the day with Lora and her bridesmaids Becky, Lisa, Sophie, Tilly and Kylie who were all getting ready at the Mercure Grange Hotel, in Willerby, before heading out to meet Dudley and his groomsmen Clark, Loyd, Dan, Mark and Danny. After some quick portraits, the guests began to arrive and were whisked inside, before the bride arrived with her father, on a horse drawn carriage. There was much laughter during the service with both of the couples names providing a bit of a challenge and afterwards the guests enjoyed a celebratory drink, whilst the happy couple headed off for a romantic drive with a glass of champagne. As always, we whipped through the group photographs as quickly as possible, so that the couple could enjoy as much time as possible with their guests. A big thanks to the bridesmaids and the groomsmen who were great sports and very helpful rounding everyone on in super quick time. There was a huge cheer during the wedding breakfast, following by a chorus of ‘Old Faithful’ to celebrate the rugby result, after which the speeches commenced. The grooms brother Clark delivered a very entertaining and perfectly judged speech, with humour  and a touch of emotion. The evening reception was soon underway with more guests arriving and the couple took to the sparkling dance floor for their first dance. We had a truly wonderful day with Lora, Dudley and their family and friends, and we will them all every happiness in the future.

Wedding Photography with Kelly and Richard

I am pleased to share the preview wedding photography for Kelly and Richard who were married on Friday, at St Swithins Church in Sproately. We had a lovely day with them and their family and friends. Kelly looked beautiful and elegant in her dress from Jaynes of Doncaster and Richards suit was from T M Lewis. The were attended by bridesmaid Lucy who was great fun and a fantastic help throughout the day and best man Fred. Flowers were by the Daisy Chain, Skirlaugh and the cake was made for them by Boucakez of Preston. Our thanks to the vicar Jon, who is always so welcoming and makes our job so much easier. The weather was mostly on our side, though the wind played havoc with Kelly’s dress and veil! Just as we arrived at Wyton Abbey, there was a rumble of thunder and the heavens briefly opened! Bright summer sunshine soon followed and we were able to complete the photographs as planned outside. Kelly and Richard very much wanted their wedding photography to be as informal as possible and we had a lot of laughs during the photos of the bridal party. Guests enjoyed a celebratory drink and canapés before dinner and when they sat down to eat, we took a much needed break. The evening celebrations were soon underway and the happy couple took to the floor with their headphones for the ‘silent disco’. I have to say it was quite a surreal experience photographing everyone dancing when we couldn’t hear the music but it did make us chuckle!  Kelly and Richard are a really lovely couple and it was evident to everyone how much they love each other. We wish them every happiness in their future life together.
