Hazlewood Castle Wedding Photographer | Hannah and Robert's Wedding

We had such a wonderful day as Hazlewood Castle wedding photographers for Hannah and Rob and we were blown away by how attentive Hannah was when it came to following our direction during the posed photos.  She even repeated our directions to Rob (just in case he wasn't paying attention the first time, ha, ha).  As West Yorkshire wedding photographers we love it when a couple are so invested in our work.  Not only do we bring out the best in them, they bring out the best in us too. We arrived to start the wedding photography at Hazlewood Castle with bridal preparations in the Lavender Suite, where Hannah was being pampered, and we caught our first glimpse of an absolutely spectacular and very unusual dress.  It had a train with the Wow! factor and a sexy low back, which showed off Hannah's intricate tattoo. The day wasn't without its hitches, as there was a serious accident on the motorway which meant a hair raising detour for us along what can only be described as a pot hole and nettle filled dirt track, and delays for guests, other suppliers and crucially, the registrars.  Hannah was as cool as you like, no tears or stress, just a relaxed and calm "Well, I'm here and ready!" Happily, all the guests managed to arrive in time and the registrars did get there for the ceremony, albeit a little late.  Rob looked very smart in his grey suit with a lovely pop of red in his tie, pocket square and buttonhole.  The colour scheme for the wedding was lovely, with a mix of rich, warm tones. Hannah's bouquet was exquisite and shows what can be achieved if you aren't too specific and allow your talented florist free reign to create something a bit different. The ceremony took place in the Old Dining Room, our favourite room for civil ceremonies, as its windows let in plenty of daylight, and Hannah and Rob personalised their ceremony by writing their own vows to each other.  The happy couple and their guests gathered outside for confetti and group photos and although the wind was a pest it didn't deter Hannah one bit. Hazlewood Castle is a venue that offers so many beautiful locations for photographs and Hannah and Rob wanted as much variety as we could give them. They were more than happy to join us during a lull in the wedding breakfast for photos in the Flemish Hall, and again after dinner, for a few more pictures in the Victoria Room and outside. As the evening party got underway we dashed out into the courtyard to set up for Mr and Mrs Dawson's twilight photographs, which worked to perfection due to their thoughtful timings for the cake cutting and first dance and them heading outside at exactly the right time when the lamps are lit and the sky is a rich dark blue.  Love it when a plan comes together :) Thank you guys, you were stars!  Congratulations and our very best wishes for the future!
