Aside from the dreadful weather, we had a lovely day on Saturday photographing the wedding of Louise and Mark who were married at the Willerby Manor, East Yorkshire. Louise’s gorgeous dress was from Jacquelines of Beverley and her beautiful autumnal bouquet was provided by a friend of the family. We started the day at the brides parents house and were made very welcome by Carol and Ken. Ken certainly gets our vote for the most proud dad of the year, and his smile and joy were infectious! Bridesmaid Nicola is definitely one of the best bridesmaids we have had the pleasure of working with, and took her role looking after the bride very seriously which made our job so much easier. Things were a little rushed as the bride arrived, down to a miscommunication between the venue and the chauffuer, and also by the East Riding registrars having to get off to another wedding. Happily Louise took it all in her stride and was every inch the beautiful bride as she exited the car in the downpour. Following the ceremony, the couple and guests enjoyed celebratory drinks in the bar. It was still raining, so we did the group photographs inside. More drinks followed, as as the rain had eased to a fine drizzle we headed outside with the couple to do some quick photographs. The whole wedding party soon joined us, encourage by Nicola, and we were able capture the big group shot as well as the traditional throwing of confetti. Louse and Mark are a lovely couple and we wish them every happiness in their future life together.

We had a wonderful day photographing the wedding of Laura and Adrian. They held their wedding at the Grange Park in Messingham and following a really great pre wedding photography shoot, we were certainly looking forward to working with this lovely couple on their special day. Unfortunately the weather was absolutely terrible with heavy rain for most of the day. We started the day with Laura and her bridesmaids Charlie, Maddison and Olivia before heading off to meet up with Adrian and his best man Mark at the Grange Park. The venue looked beautiful and was decorated by Occasions by Leigh with flowers by Flower Theatre and a lovely cake provided by Sandra Winter from Gilly’s Tearoom in Scunthorpe.  The bride arrived in style with a car that had been booked as a surprise by Adrian, and we were able to capture this special moment for her. Undeterred by the rain, Laura laughed as we all wrestled with umbrellas to try and keep her dry. Following the service, the rain continued and we took some group photographs out on the veranda overlooking the golf course and then some shots of the couple inside the reception room. With a little persuasion, the couple headed out onto the front porch, and guests were able to shower them with confetti rather than the rain! As they sat down for their meal, the rain slowed and we were able to dash outside between main course and dessert to grab some pictures of them outside at last! Laura and Adrian are a really lovely couple and we had an absolutely wonderful day with them and their family and friends. We wish them much happiness in their future life together.

I am pleased to share with you the preview wedding photography for Michelle and Nigel who were married on Friday at the Deep in Hull. The whole wedding had a maritime theme and our day began with Michelle at her dads house. Once we had finished photographing the details Michelle got into her lovely in her dress from the the Bridal House in Beverley. Luckily the it stayed dry, and we were able to do some photography in the garden before leaving to head off to the Deep and meet the groom. Nigel looked dashing in his naval uniform and we were able to capture some photographs of him with the groomsmen before he headed inside to see the registrar. Michelle arrived in good time which gave us some valuable moments to capture some special portraits of her, before she went inside. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed celebratory drinks in the observatory whilst we completed our portraits of the happy couple in front of the tank. They were joined there by their  nieces who later in the evening, provided a beautiful ballet performance for all invited guests. After the photographs in front of the tank, we headed outside to make the most of the last rays of light to complete our portraits of the happy couple. Guests waited inside, and confetti and speeches followed on our return. Michelle and Nigel’s stunning cake was made by ‘Cake Love by Jorina” and also picked up on their maritime theme. Michelle and Nigel are a lovely couple and it was lovely to photograph them. We wish them every happiness in their future life together.

Here is the preview wedding photography for Emily and Jamie who were married on Saturday at Cave Castle Hotel, East Yorkshire. It was another blustery, rainy day and we were lucky in that we managed for the most part to dodge the rain! We met the bride in the morning at Cave Castle and she was busy getting ready with bridesmaids Jade, Jasmine, Claire, Mia, Jennifer, Sophia and daughter Aleeya. Emily was ready on time which gave us enough time to do the bridal portraits whilst the girls got the little ones into their outfits. We then met up with Jamie, his best man Josh and the rest of his groomsmen for some quick photographs before returning to the bride. Guests began to arrive and before long, the bride was met by her father on the stairs at Cave Castle and despite a few tears from Aleeya,  the ceremony was soon underway. The happy couple enjoyed a celebratory drink on the terrace before we began to capture their formal group photographs.The weather looked as if it might offer us another shower, so we headed off to capture some quick portraits of the happy couple, and they had just sat down for their wedding reception when the heavens opened. We managed to squeeze in a couple more pictures after the meal and we were rescued by Michael, the toastmaster, who was kind enough to bring the couple a brolly to save them from a further deluge of rain! Emily and Jamie are a lovely couple and we had a great day photographing their wedding. We wish them every happiness in their future life together.
