Waterton Park Hotel Wedding Photographers | Natasha and Richard

We were over the moon to receive Rich's enquiry to ask if we were available to provide the Waterton Park wedding photography for him and Tash.  Although the couple live down south, Rich explained that as Tash hails from Huddersfield, a wedding outside Yorkshire was out of the question and as recommended wedding photographers for Waterton Park Hotel, we were very happy when the couple booked us to capture their celebrations at this beautiful venue.  We arrived at the suite where Tash and her girls were getting ready and the atmosphere was relaxed and tranquil.  The suites at Waterton Park Hotel offer plenty of space and have two large beds, meaning we could take over one of them; not for a quick nap you understand, but as a base on which to photograph Tash's dress, shoes and jewellery.  Our next stop was with Rich and his attendants as they got ready in the bridal suite across the bridge in Walton Hall.  We found an exquisite and very unusual background on which to photograph the wedding rings.  After the boys' portraits on the island, we headed back to see how Tash was getting on in the last few minutes before the civil ceremony.  The guests gathered afterwards for a spectacular shower of confetti before Pauline, one of the dedicated wedding co-ordinators, invited everyone back onto the island for the drinks reception.  It's great when a couple and their bridal party are up for a laugh and these guys certainly where, so we worked quickly through the group shots and managed to grab a few minutes for some fun Waterton Park wedding photos before it was time to photograph the wedding breakfast room and table details.  Looking through the photographs from Tash and Rich's special day and it's obvious what a fabulous time they had.  Tash did warn us that she was likely to crack up a lot and she and Rich look deliriously happy in their gorgeous photographs.  Nothing wrong in that!  Thank you for giving us the pleasure of sharing your wedding day at your lovely venue and for being wonderful to work with.  We're very pleased that the weather stayed as happy as you two! If you would like to share our images on your Facebook page you are very welcome to do so as long as our details are kept on them.

Waterton Park Wedding Photographer | Emma and Richard

As recommended Waterton Park wedding photographers, it was great to return to this pretty venue for Emma and Richard's celebrations.  Emma got ready there and we spent some time with her in the morning as she had her hair and make-up done.  Her dress was beautiful and she had a spectacular shower bouquet of purple orchids.  What really struck us about Emma was her stunning smile which shone all day long.  The joy in her face throughout the entire day was just lovely to see. 

Richard arrived at the church just as we did, allowing us to photograph him and his attendants well before Emma's arrival with her dad and the start of the wedding photography at All Hallows', Kirkburton, our first time working at this church.  It's always a pleasure and something of a relief to work with vicars who are friendly and accommodating, and Emma and Richard's vicar was wonderful, bringing humour and personality to the ceremony, and allowing us, as a two photographer team, to document the proceedings from the front and from the back as the couple tied the knot.

Emma and Richard were keen to have a few of our more arty photographs and at our consultation around a month before the wedding, we'd seen an arched doorway at the church and this resulted in an idea for a spectacular bridal portrait, which was firmly planted in our minds and very much on our to do list.  We just hoped that the weather would play ball.  If anything, it was too sunny, and this creates its own challenges but it's definitely much better than the wet stuff!

After the confetti throwing at the church gate, we left to start the Waterton Park wedding photography, and Pauline, the wedding co-ordinator, was there to welcome the couple and their guests to a champagne reception on the island.  Emma and Richard had a few photos together until everyone had arrived, and we worked quickly through the group photos they had asked for, leaving some time for fun shots with the bridal party.  Our aim with these is to get a sequence of animated images with happy expressions for the couple's storybook, and we weren't disappointed!

As regular wedding photographers at Waterton Park, we know that there are some must have locations for bride and groom portraits, including the stone archway at the lakeside, so straight after the wedding breakfast we dashed out with Emma and Richard to make use of the last of the daylight for their romantic couple photo session, before the first dance and evening party in the Boathouse downstairs.

Our congratulations on your marriage and our sincere thanks for choosing us to share your big day.  We look forward to seeing you on your return from honeymoon.
