Pre wedding photoshoot with Megan and Shaun

On Monday we met up with Megan and Shaun for their pre wedding meeting and photoshoot. They are getting married later this month at the Country Park Inn on Hessle foreshore.

After a brief chat about their arrangements, we headed outside to take some photos. The pre wedding photography shoot is a great opportunity for us to get to know our couple and for them to get used to being in front of the camera.

Megan and Shaun are a lovely couple and were very easy to work with and we are  looking forward to photographing their special day.

 

A wedding at Saltmarshe Hall with Natalie and Hayden

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Natalie and Hayden at Saltmarshe Hall. Saltmarshe is a stunning wedding venue and is one of our favourite places for wedding photography as it offers such a fabulous range of locations for photographs.

We started the day with Natalie and her bridesmaids whilst they were getting ready. The girls sipped their champagne whilst having their hair and make up done.

After taking some stunning bridal portraits of Natalie, we headed downstairs to meet up with Hayden and the groomsmen.

Natalie and Hayden had opted for an outdoor ceremony in the walled garden at Saltmarshe Hall. On one of the hottest days of the year, guests took shade in the tall hedges whilst they waited for the arrival of the bride.

Once the ceremony was complete, we worked quickly in the shade to conclude the group photographs.

Guests enjoyed the formal reception outside under a fabulous marque just adjacent to the Hall.

Natalie and Hayden had a wonderful day and were very easy to work with. We look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photography with them.

Pre wedding photography at Saltmarshe Hall with Natalie and Hayden

On Monday we met up with Natalie and Hayden for their pre wedding meeting and photoshoot. It was a lovely evening and the gardens at Saltmarshe Hall looked stunning. Saltmarshe Hall is a fabulous venue and location for a wedding. It offers some stunning backdrops for photography both inside and outside. It is rare that a wedding photographer has so many beautiful options to choose from!

We met Natalie and Hayden in the library where we all enjoyed a cup of coffee whilst chatting through their plans for the wedding. After this we headed out into the gardens to decide on the best locations for their wedding photographs.

Natalie and Hayden are a lovely couple who were very relaxed in front of the camera. We are very much looking forward to photographing their special day.

A Beverley Wedding with Hannah and James

On Saturday Hannah and James had their wedding at Beverley Minster. It was a lovely bright spring day with plenty of sunshine.

With the current restrictions surrounding COVID, the wedding had to be arranged with limited numbers. Despite a smaller number of guests it was still a beautiful day, filled with lots of laughter and happiness, and those who were unable to attend were able to watch courtesy of a live stream.

I think it is the first time we have seen a bride and groom sing at their own wedding. It was quite a treat for their guests and added such a lovely personal touch to the day.

It has been a while since we photographed a wedding but within five minutes it felt as if we had never been away. Hannah and James’s family and friends were a delight to work with and we had lots of laughs throughout the day.

Beverley Minster provides a perfect backdrop for wedding photography. However, the bright contrasty sunshine was a little challenging for us at times! Despite this and thanks to the happy couples patience and good humour, we were able to capture some stunning photographs for them.

We wish Hannah and James every happiness in their future life together and look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photography with them very soon.

 

 

Pre Wedding Photoshoot with Hannah and James

On Friday morning we met up with Hannah and James who are getting married soon. It was a chilly morning and we started bright and early. It is almost eight months since we did our last pre wedding photography shoot, so it was lovely to be working again.

Hannah and James are planning an intimate wedding at Beverley Minster later this month. Numbers are restricted so there will be a live video stream for those who are unable to attend in person.  Our job will be to take the wedding photographs.

We had great fun working with Hannah and James who were very relaxed in front of the camera. As wedding photographers, we always offer a complimentary pre wedding photo shoot to all of our clients. It provides a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know them and a chance to see how they are in front of the camera.

The pre shoot helps to ensure that we offer the best possible photography service on the wedding day. It gives each couple a chance to get used to being in front of a professional photographer before the big day. This builds trust and confidence and ensures that we can always deliver excellent results.

Hannah and James are a delightful couple and we are looking forward to photographing their wedding.
