Wedding Photographer Wood Hall Hotel & Spa | Lisa and Nick

We photographed Lisa and Nick's celebrations last week, a lovely small wedding attended by those closest to the couple and our first of three weddings in three days.  It was a pleasure to be Wood Hall wedding photographers for this fantastic bride and groom who were so much fun to work with.  Everything was at one venue and we started as Lisa got ready in a suite upstairs.  She had chosen a spectacular princess dress, shoes with lots of bling and gorgeous roses in ivory and pink, very girly and very pretty.  

We found Nick and his boys in the bar and persuaded them outside for some photographs, using the picturesque location as a backdrop.  Nick had given the job of best man to his dad, which we thought we a lovely gesture, although it can be a bit of a risk when it comes to the speeches as your dad is likely to have lots of material!  Both dads played a big part in this wedding, as did Nick's son Harrison.  Nick was happy and relaxed during his portrait session and it was only at the beginning of the ceremony that we saw his nerves kick in as Lisa arrived at his side.  

The friendly registrars allowed us to capture the civil ceremony without restriction but afterwards, as the guests headed outside for the drinks reception, the weather decided to let us down, forcing us to photograph the groups on the main steps where there is some shelter. Thankfully the rain was short-lived and we were soon out on the terrace with the new Mr and Mrs Rollitt and their bridal party.  

Everything came together to allow for some relaxed couple photography time before we went inside to get those all important shots of a beautifully dressed Vavasour Suite and the table details before the wedding breakfast got underway.  The speeches were both funny and emotional and Roland Rat made an appearance.

Wedding photography at Wood Hall has lots of variety and after the wedding breakfast we went for a walk around the grounds and photographed the couple in the Italian Gardens before the daylight started to fall and the evening party got underway, kicked off by Lisa and Nick's first dance together.

Thank you so much for booking us to photograph your Wood Hall wedding.  We had a brilliant day with you and your families and friends.  We hope you love these images which are a small selection of our favourites from your special day and you are welcome to share them, complete with our logo.

Wedding Photographer Leeds | Fiona and Alex's Wedding Photography at The Bridge Inn, Walshford

It was a great pleasure to share Fiona and Alex's wedding celebrations as they married at the beautiful church of St John the Baptist in Adel, Leeds.  As West Yorkshire wedding photographers, we love weddings and we just knew that theirs would be a wonderful day, helped by nice weather for a change!

Our day begin at Fiona's parents' home just a few minutes away from the church and as our bride was in her dress and ready before we left, we were able to capture some portraits of her as well as the lovely reactions of her dad and grandparents when they saw her for the first time as a bride.

We travelled the short distance to the church to meet the boys and take photographs of them, Alex with his parents and shots of the rings before Alex went inside to chat to Ian, the vicar.  Fiona's mum and bridesmaids arrived a few minutes ahead of Fiona and her dad, who arrived in a classic Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. 

As always, Ian conducted a lovely marriage ceremony and following this, the new Mr and Mrs Starkey spent a few minutes being congratulated by their guests before we began the group photographs, getting these done quickly before we joined everyone at the church gate for the confetti throwing.

As The Bridge Inn, Walshford wedding photographers, we know the venue is quite a distance from the church but we had a good clear run and Fiona and Alex weren't far behind us.  With only the big group photograph of everyone remaining, we spent some quiet time taking relaxed photographs of the couple in the paddock and once we'd made sure that all the guests had arrived at the reception venue, we got the big group photo in the can and then left everyone to chat whilst we photographed the wedding breakfast room dressed in its elegant ivory and white scheme.

After speeches and dinner, Fiona and Alex were keen to have a second photo session and we really enjoyed working with them to create some more beautiful images of the two of them together and our beautiful bride on her own.  We also had some fun with the couple, Fiona's sister Steff and brother Chris before the boys came up with some fun ideas of their own. It was obvious that the alcohol had kicked in by this time!

Fiona and Alex rejoined their guests on the terrace to enjoy the pleasant summer evening.  You guys were so lucky with the weather!!  The evening guests arrived and Fiona and Alex cut their fabulous white chocolate cake and then took to the floor for their first dance as husband and wife.  We hope they have a fantastic honeymoon in Mexico and we want to say a big thank you to them and their families for asking us to capture their wedding full of fun and laughter.
