Barber Photography

There’s no let-up here at Barber Towers. After a really busy summer and autumn we’ve got an equally busy winter with lots of albums to design, pictures to edit and a general housekeeping ready to start the new year afresh.

So I though while I’m snowed in I’d do a quick catch up on some of the weddings I haven’t yet blogged starting with Helen & Dan’s who were married back in October at Hazlewood Castle. It’s a beautiful venue inside and out and this time we were lucky enough to go into the beautiful chapel where the ceremony was held. Although we’ve shot weddings at Hazlewood many many times before we’ve never yet been into the chapel so it was a lovely treat for us as well as a gorgeous venue for Helen & Dan and their guests.

As always I spent the morning with Helen and Lou was with Dan and the boys. Helen’s dress was amazing and she looked stunning in in as she walked down the aisle. The rain was kind enough to hold off and we managed to get lots of pictures of everyone outside in the gorgeous grounds – we’re always spoilt for choice for great locations at Hazlewood so it’s nice when we can use them.

The speeches were fantastic and after a first dance to an ace live band we left the revellers to enjoy the rest of the evening.

We had a great day with Helen & Dan and would like to wish them lot of happiness for their future together. We’re really pleased with their photos so here are a few to enjoy:

A few weeks ago we spent a fantastic day at Hazlewood Castle with Rosie & Katie (and their friends and families) for their civil partnership celebrations.

As the girls were getting ready together, Lou and I were together in the morning which made for a lovely change for us. While I was recording preparations in the bridal suite Lou spent some time around the castle capturing some great shots of the grounds and also the ceremony and reception rooms.

Both Rosie and Katie looked amazing in their hand made suits and their outfits were completed with matching Converses which got the Barber seal of approval (both Lou and I are Converse afficionados!)

After a lovely ceremony in the Old Dining Room Rosie, Katie and their guests went outside for drinks and photos. Guest of honour (but unfortunatley unable to get into the ceremony..) was Katie’s gorgeous Mini Cooper which was also dressed for the occasion with ribbons, balloons and cans.

Then it was back into the Great Hall for the wedding breakfast and some really lovely speeches before the evening reception really got going.

Rosie & Katie, we’d both like to thank you for inviting us to be part of your special day and we wish you lots of happiness together.
