My second wedding of the weekend had me at two fantastic locations for Laura & Jamie’s wedding. This time I was again joined by Rob, who I have to give a massive thanks to for a) helping up out recently at a few weddings where Lou has been unable to come along and b) for getting some a-maz-ing images. A few of the images I’ve posted up here are courtesy of him, so thanks again, mate.
Anyway, back to the wedding. The ceremony was at Fountains Abbey, a drop dead gorgeous bit of history in the middle of some stunning countryside. The ceremony itslef was in Fountains Hall (a bit more complete than the abbey itself – it has a roof for starters!) and this is where Rob met up with the boys for their early shots. The reception was to be held at the Majestic Hotel in Harrogate and I met Laura and the girls there for their preparations. Laura looked amazing in her beautiful princess dress.
The ceremony was quite early, and straight afterwards guests spilled out for a tea party on the lawn which was a fantastic opportunity for photographs. The weather was gorgeous again, and having had a good few years of weddings now under our belt, I think I can say that September is generally pretty much the safest bet for dry and sunny weather.
We had a good couple of hours to spend in the grounds of the abbey and it was just brilliant to be able to take Laura and Jamie off for some couple shots in the ruins (although it was pretty busy with tourists. We managed to chase them all away though!!!) Laura and Jamie were a dream couple to work with and were really keen to spend time with us and I think we got some amazing shots as a result.
Then it was back to the Majestic for the rest of the day where Laura and Jamie had laid on a lavish buffet for their guests. Dancing into the night rounded off a perfect day.
Laura and Jamie, it was such a pleasure to be with you on your wedding day. Thanks so much for including us in your plans – we’ll see you soon!
