A great Day with some great people



The weather forecast looked “grim” as I watched the forecast on Tv the night before the wedding. The wedding was at Waterton Park Hotel near Wakefield which was great because if we had to take photographs inside due to inclement weather, I knew it would be fine. The service however was at St Peters in Felkirk which might have been a problem for  Louise (the bride) as getting from the car to the church might have been a problem.

Anyhow I arrived at the Brides house and all the Bridesmaids were ready and really excited about the forth coming festivities, as was Louise. I took some great pictures of the Bride and “maids” having first shown them how to stand and position themselves, so they looked great on the pictures.

I arrived to photograph Callum (the Groom) 45 minutes before the wedding, and shot some great pictures of him and his ushers in a corn field next to the church. The rain had held and and threatened but relented just enough for the bride to enter the Church along with David her brother who was standing in for there Father who was sadly too ill to attend.

The weather was a constant distraction but held off till we shot the family groups at Waterton Park Hotel. Surprisingly it stopped after 10 minutes and we got all the pictures we wanted. After the wedding breakfast we went out to do some more wedding photography.

Which was where Callum got a little bit adventurous by trying to “pick up” his new wife. Oh dear…

I had such a great time 



Just a Great Wedding Day



Siobhán and Tom were married at St Chads Church in Leeds on a glorious day in July. A great church but sadly the vicar decided to limit the number of photographs allowed to be taken  in the Church, so we could not get some key pictures, like the first kiss and the exchanging of the wedding rings which was such a shame.We never use “flash” in Church and we are very discreet because we know that the service is so important   Its important to know how you feel about this before you choose you the place you wish to marry. Anyhow I managed to sneak a few pictures in, without the Vicar noticing.

The day was great for a wedding but a little bit tricky for a wedding photographer. Leeds was bathe in very bright sunlight which cause harsh shadows and people tend to squint, but we got over these minor obstacles and produce a great selection of wedding pictures. We had so much fun and the same day slideshow presentation which we who just before the first dance when down a storm.

A big thank you for the guests for putting up with me and a massive ‘Thanks” to Tom and Siobhán who made my job so easy on the day.

A wedding at Weetwood Hall Leeds



Saturday the 2nd of July saw me at Weetwood hall in Leeds. “Weetwood wood is ideally place on the Leeds Ring Road and despite been only been a few yards from one of the busiest roads in Leeds, when you actually drive in to the grounds, you could be forgiven for thinking you were  in the middle of  the Yorkshire Countryside.

Joy and Mark booked me over a year before, and when they came to our studio in Bramley Leeds we immediately hit it off. Its really important that you get on well with your wedding photographer as it so helps on the day.

Mark and Joy had a surprise for their guests on the wedding day as they had booked a 1950′s Ice cream van to serve up, ice cream cones for all on the day. The day was a beautiful and the sun shone throughout, so having a cool refreshing ice cream kept “the man in the van” very busy. I have included some highlights of the day in the images below.
