Walton Hall Wedding Photography for Abbie and Matt

With the British summer 2016 as unpredictable as ever, you can count yourself lucky getting one glorious day for a wedding, but to get three days on the trot when the rain doesn't make an appearance is something you wouldn't even dare to wish for.  Abbie and Matt are such a lovely couple and they certainly deserved the sun to shine on their wedding day, our third in three days, and as Walton Hall wedding photographers, we were over the moon when it did!  When you've been a professional Wakefield wedding photographer for as long as we have, you begin to realise that your photography style and your personalities attract clients whose values and tastes are similar to yours, and we knew at our first meeting that we were a perfect fit for Abbie and Matt.  They thought the same, saying that they'd had a good vibe about us straight away.  This great couple and their families are considerate, polite and appreciative, and a pleasure to be around.  Waterton Park Hotel is a spectacular venue where we are recommended wedding photographers and we couldn't have wished for a more enjoyable day.  The majority of their suppliers had been chosen from the venue's list of recommended professionals, including Val from Cushty Chairs, professional guitarist and singer, Jill Ryder and Pamela Clare who did Abbie's stunning make-up.  This was the first time we'd photographed a ceremony in the Walton Suite on the island and after meeting for the first time only the day before, we had the pleasure of working again with registrar Lyndsey, and her colleague Julie, who we've known for a while.  After the ceremony the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed the sunshine, champagne and the beautiful surroundings whilst we cracked on with group photos, impressively assisted by Matt's brother, Jonny.  After two pleasantly warm days, things really started to heat up and the blazing sunshine meant that the light wasn't ideal in some of the locations we wanted to use for Mr and Mrs Hays' photographs, so we took advantage of the long daylight hours and split the photography up to use the best light at the time, which kept the couple's Waterton Park wedding photography relaxed and interesting for them, as well as giving them plenty of free time with their guests.  A perfect day in the company of an absolutely wonderful couple.  Congratulations and our very best wishes for a long and happy marriage and thank you for booking us to share your wedding day.
