Pre Wedding Photography at Cave Castle with Chi & Gavin

On Friday we met up with Chi and Gavin who are getting married at Cave Castle in August. When we arrived it was bright and sunny and we sat outside on the terrace to chat about their plans. Before long some very dark clouds came over, but luckily the rain held off and we were able to go ahead with the photography outside as planned. Chi and Gavin are a lovely couple and were very easy to work with and we are very much looking forward to doing their wedding photography soon!

Wedding Photography in Sproatley with Lucy & Rhun

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!

Pre wedding photography at Tickton Grange with Leanne & Rob

On Friday, we went along to Tickton Grange, to do the pre wedding photography for Leanne and Rob, who are getting married there, later on in the month. The heavens opened on the way there, but by the time we arrived, things had faired up and we were able to do the photographs outside as planned. Leanne and Rob were lovely company and very easy to work with and we are very much looking forward to photographing their wedding.

Wedding Photography at Cave Castle Hotel with Jess & Phil

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.

Pre Wedding Photography – Lucy & Rhun

We had a really lovely evening yesterday, doing the pre wedding photography for Lucy & Rhun who are getting married in July. Their church service will be in Sproately and they will be having their reception back at the farm, so we met up with them there to go over the arrangements for their special day. Lucy is keen for her photographs to have a relaxed feel about them and to reflect their farming way of life, and it was a real pleasure to take a stroll around with them and their dog, to look at some of the areas where they would like to have their photographs done. It promises to be a really beautiful occasion and Lucy and Rhun were very easy company and we are very much looking forward to photographing their special day!
