Sam and Matt booked us to be their Hazlewood Castle wedding photographers for New Year's Eve 2018 and they paid us a massive compliment by choosing us over two years before their big day. During all that time we've been looking forward to capturing their celebrations at this lovely venue. They'd told us that their photographs were really important, which is what we love to hear. We arrived at the Elderflower Suite to a warm welcome from Sam and there was lots of activity and plenty to photograph. Sam's a talented lady; she handmade all the bouquets and the buttonholes from silk flowers and brooches. So, with a fabulous couple and a great venue, all the remained was the hope of decent weather and we got very lucky; it was dry, not too cold and the light was perfect, giving Sam and Matt their wish for as many photographs as possible to be taken outside. Sam's brother gave her away and emotions got the better of both he and Matt as Sam reached Matt's side at the start of the ceremony in the Old Dining Room, in our opinion the best civil ceremony room for Hazlewood Castle wedding photographs as its big windows let in plenty of natural light. The wedding had a winter theme and the couple chose fake snow as confetti, with everyone joining in with loads of enthusiasm. Sam gave in to the chill for only a few minutes whilst we took photographs at the front of the castle, which was where a blue, full length cape came in, but this soon came off again in favour of showing off her beautiful, elegant wedding dress. We were delighted to get lots of photos for the couple before the speeches and the wedding breakfast got underway in the Great Hall and the icing on the cake were some gorgeous twilight photos at that perfect time, made possible only because Mr and Mrs Emms were willing to leave their wedding breakfast for a few minutes to nip outside. It gives us loads of pleasure when we can capture something so beautiful for a couple. There were a handful of groups, a professional singer, the first dance and party time to document before we could leave for home, open a bottle of Prosecco and welcome in 2019. Our grateful thanks Sam and Matt for giving us the absolute privilege of photographing your cracking New Year's Eve wedding. Congratulations guys!
