Woodlands Wedding Fair

We had the pleasure of photographing Helen & Stephen’s wedding on Saturday – I’ll blog some pictures in the next few days. It was another Woodlands wedding, and we were back again there yesterday for the wedding fair (I’m thinking of renting a room on a permanent basis – I seem to be there so often at the moment!!)

Anyway, as always we had a great day there. Unfortunately Lou was unable to join me this time as she had Remembrance Day parade duties with our daughter, so I had to hold the fort by myself. This was no mean feat as it was so busy! I think I managed to speak to most people – hello to everyone I met, and thank you for stopping to chat with me!

Anyway, Catherine the wedding coordinator did a great job organising everything. This was our last wedding fair of the year – it all starts again in the new year. Roll on 2009!!

Sarah & Andy: Wedding 26th October 2008

Posted in Weddings

Autumn felt as if it had truly arrived at Sarah & Andy’s wedding. For a start the clocks went back the night before, so we had an extra hour’s rest after Kelly & Lee’s wedding the day before, which was very nice! It did mean, however, that we lost the light that much earlier which meant we had to be a bit more creative. Sarah and Andy had planned their day to perfection, though, and all the autumnal colours were a joy to photograph.

After a ceremony at St. Anne’s Cathedral in Leeds (stunning, just stunning. If anyone out there reading this is planning on getting married there PLEASE give us a call!!!) we headed off to Bagden Hall Hotel for the reception. Pumpkins, candles and sparklers set the mood and everyone had an amazing time.

Sarah & Andy, you were both a joy to work with, and we wish you every happiness for your life together.

Kelly & Lee: Wedding 25th October 2008

Posted in Pre-Wedding

We had a busy weekend 25th/26th October with back to back weddings. First up was Kelly & Lee. I spent the morning with Kelly at the Great Victoria hotel in Bradford. Lou covered the boys’ preparations and was plied with bacon butties by Lee’s mum!

The ceremony took place at St. Paul’s church in Drighlington – it’s the second time we’ve been there in as many months, and once again we managed to get some great shots during the service.

Afterwards we were back to Woodlands Hotel for the reception where the party really got going.

It was such a great day. Kelly and Lee – congratulations to you both – it was a honour to be part of your day.

Andrea & Howard: Wedding 18th October 2008

Posted in Weddings

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged – October was very busy for us – so I’m playing catchup today and writing up 4 weddings we’ve done in the last few weeks.

First up was Howard and Andrea whose big day was 18th October. As always, before the ceremony Lou met up with Howard and his entourage and I spent the morning with Andrea and the girls. Andrea made a stunning bride, and Howard and the boys looked particularly dapper in their morning suits and top hats. Then we all got together at the gorgeous church in the beautiful village of Hampsthwaite near Harrogate. After a lovely ceremony everyone moved on to Goldsborough hall for the reception. A real highlight of the day was the wedding breakfast, where a joint of beef was brought to each table and an appointed guest had to carve – it made for some great moments and fantastic pictures!

Howard and Andrea were such a great couple to work with and we’d like to wish them both every happiness for their future together
