Our last November wedding took us to Allerton Castle again for Tamsin & Will’s special day. As always the staff at the castle ran the day to perfection, and a big shout out to Claudie who coordinated everything beautifully, and an even bigger shout out to Allerton’s other events coordinator Sophie. She wasn’t there on the day because she was busy having a baby! Congratulations Sophie!!!
We were also joined on the day by a (newish) friend of ours, videographer Mark Lenik who was great to work with. He’s a great chap and very much on our wavelength, so if anyone’s looking for an ace video guy he’s yer man.
Anyway, back to Tamsin & Will. The day started out for both Lou and me at the castle for Tam’s preparations. As usual it it was a bit manic with the girls! Over the years I’ve discovered that one bride and four bridesmaids need a lot of stuff, so I seem to spend lots of time clearing things away to create (relatively) clean backgrounds. Amongst all this, though, Tamsin was a haven of calm. Meanwhile Will and the boys had arrived, all looking James Bond-esque in their DJ’s. The doing up of the cummerbunds caused much merriment.
The ceremony was beautiful, made all the more spine tingling by the presence of the Harrogate male voice choir, who sang some beautiful stirring songs. The Christmas tree was twinkling in the background in front of a roaring fire, and it all felt really special.
Although the weather was a bit chilly, Tam was more than willing to go outside for some photos after the ceremony which was great (and very brave) of her. She even managed to venture outside later on in the evening after the wedding breakfast for some night time shots (although I think by that time she’s had enough champagne to take the chill off!)
Tam and Will, your wedding was such a fabulous day – thanks for sharing it with us!
Phil & Lou xx
