Olivia - December 2009



We were delighted to see Dawn and Neil again - this time with their gorgeous baby daughter, Olivia. They decided to bring along Olivia's grandma as apparently Olivia thinks she's very funny and she would find it easy to get Olivia to smile! However, we didn't need anyone to make Olivia smile, as she obliged anyway. A great session with a beautiful little girl - she was a pleasure to photograph!

Helen and David's wedding at St Mary's church, Sprotbrough and Hazlewood Castle - 5 December 2009











Today we photographed our last wedding of the 2009 season for Helen and David at the picturesque church of St Mary's in Sprotbrough. We started the day at Helen's parents' house just a short journey from the church to capture some shots as Helen got ready for the ceremony with her bridesmaids, Lucinda and Gemma, who were great and really took care of Helen. Our next stop was at the church, where we met up with David and his attendants for their photographs. Thankfully, the predicted heavy rain didn't make an appearance - in fact, for December, the weather was pretty good and it meant that we could take the majority of the photographs outside. With no photography allowed by the vicar during the ceremony, we had previously arranged that we'd take Helen and David back inside afterwards so that they could have a few photographs inside the church. With the group photographs of the couple and their parents taken care of, we left for the reception at Hazlewood Castle where we made the most of the fading daylight for photographs around the venue. Our last shots were of the Great Hall dressed up ready for the wedding breakfast and photographs of Helen and David cutting the cake. With an unusually early finish to our coverage, we said goodbye to our lovely couple and to our 2009 wedding season. Thank you for choosing us to share your special day.

Adele and David's wedding at Hazlewood Castle - 28 November 2009












This morning we were greeted with miserable weather - heavy rain and the kind of dismal sky that tells you that the rain isn't going to stop any time soon! We'd resigned ourselves to taking most of the photographs indoors but arriving at Hazlewood Castle for Adele's preparations, the rain had stopped - perfect timing! After spending an enjoyable hour or so with Adele as she got ready, we headed off across the courtyard to meet David, who by now was sporting his fabulous Gordon tartan kilt. He and his attendants looked fantastic and we had great fun with them during their photography session, before going back to our stunning bride and her proud dad, Mike, a few minutes before the ceremony in the lovely St Leonard's chapel. In true Scottish fashion, Adele was "piped" into the ceremony, which was conducted by Matthew who had been specially invited by the couple to do the honours. Afterwards, with the group shots in the bag and lots of laughter between us, Adele and David and their fantastic families, we were left with the remaining daylight and our great couple for some romantic photographs of them together around their fabulous venue. Adele and David were brilliant to work with and although was cold, we were all so grateful that it stayed dry so that we could make the most of the backdrops of Hazlewood for their photographs. After the speeches, the wedding breakfast and some stunning night shots in the courtyard, Adele and David hit the dance floor to "Together in Electric Dreams." Thank you to you both for asking us to share you big day and also for the call which Adele made to us on Monday morning when she surely had better things to do! Adele - that call meant the world to us - thank you so much. We hope you are having a fabulous honeymoon in New Zealand and we look forward to hearing from you when you return home for Christmas.

Nathalie and John






We recently had the pleasure of working with Nathalie and John again after photographing their wedding earlier this year. The session was so enjoyable and the couple were really enthusiastic about it and about working with us to create some stunning, contemporary images for them. It was fantastic to be able to play around with lots of ideas for poses and the time flew by! Nathalie and John were brilliant subjects with great expressions and we are delighted with the results.


Mia, Oliver and Lyla


A busy pre-Christmas portrait season continued with a photo session for Oliver and sisters Mia and Lyla. The challenge was to get a photograph of all three children together for their grandparents for Christmas. The family were fantastic to work with and we had lots of laughs trying to pursuade Oliver to stay in the group shots long enough to capture him with his cousins.
