Louise & Robert: Pre-Wedding Shoot 10th January 2009

Posted in Pre-Wedding

Well no sooner have we said good bye to 2008, we are up and running with 2009 and our first shoot of the year was on the 10th January. Louise & Robert are getting married at the beginning of March so it was great to meet up with them at Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales to do their pre-wedding shoot. This is a beautiful setting and was a lovely place to come to even though during the day the highest temp was -1oC. I have to say that these guys were great and were very relaxed which makes my job a lot easier. After we finished doing the shoot we went off and had a few warm drinks and had a good chat about how their wedding day is going to flow. This is very important for us to get a clear understanding of the timings and what our clients want from us. This means that when we turn up on the day we are not asking silly questions and can concentrate on getting the fabulous shots they want. Also this means the clients have one less thing to worry about and they can get on with enjoying the day.

Below are some more images plus you can see the full slideshow by clicking below.

Louise & Robert it was great to see you at Bolton Abbey – I hope you have warmed up now and we look forward to seeing you at the start of March.

Joanne & Gareth: Wedding 28th December 2008

Posted in Weddings

The day after Debbie & Steve’s wedding we were back at Woodlands for the reception of Joanne & Gareth. We started the day, though, with each of them for their preparations – Lou with Gareth & the boys and me with Joanne & the girls. The ceremony was at St. James church in Tong, and the boys fortified themselves against the cold (and nerves!) at the pub just down the road beforehand.

It was a black tie affair and everyone looked fantastic. Of course Joanne looked the most fantastic of all – she made a beautiful bride and clearly loved every bit of her day. The ceremony was made extra christmassy with carols which Lou joined in with from the back of the church (she thinks I didn’t spot her!) Then it was back to Woodlands for a fantastic party.

Gareth & Joanne were a joy to work with and we had such a good time at their wedding. Thank you for including us in your plans, guys, and we wish you both so much happiness.

Debbie & Steve: Wedding 27th December 2008

Posted in Weddings

We’re back into the swing of thing now so here is our next wedding report. We spent Christmas with family in the midlands, but headed back on boxing day in time to spend 27th December at Debbie & Steve’s wedding. It was a beautiful day, with everything happening at Woodlands.

The ceremony was so emotional, especially as Debbie and Steve had written their own vows – a few tears were shed! Afterwards it was time for a few photos before the reception.Debbie and Steve had really put some thought into their winter wonderland theme and the marquee looked amazing. Their tables were named after Santa’s reindeer, with the top table being (naturally) Rudolph.

It was such a great day and once again we were honoured to be part of it. Debbie and Steve, we’d like to wish you every happiness for your future together.

Phil & Lou xx

Wedding Fair Season 2009!

Posted in Pre-Wedding

Now that 2009 has started and the Christmas decorations have been packed away, it’s time to turn our attentions to the new wedding fair season.

We really enjoy wedding fairs – it’s a great way of meeting new clients. It’s always nice to be able to meet couples face to face initially rather than over the phone, and I’m sure from a bride & groom’s point of view it’s good to have the opportunity to look at some of our work and have a chat and see if they like us!! It’s also a great opportunity for us to meet other wedding suppliers.

Anyway, our first wedding fair is this Sunday 18th at Weetwood Hall in Leeds. We’ve got a few more over the next few months – I’ve listed the details below.

Weetwood Hall Leeds 18th January 2009
Hazlewood Castle 8th February 2009
Aston Hall Sheffield 1st March 2009
Woodlands Hotel Leeds 8th March 2009

If you’re planning on coming along please drop by our stand and say hello!
