After a busy 2018 season, which ran right up to New Year's Eve, we had just a short break before getting back to doing what we love best, capturing precious memories for our lovely clients, this time as Rogerthorpe Manor wedding photographers. We've been preferred photographers at this lovely venue for a long time and it's always a pleasure to work there. At this time of year you can expect it to be cold at best, and it's reasonable to prepare for working indoors, but it turned out fabulous and so much milder than we could have hoped for, meaning all groups and couple photos taken outside in those stunning grounds, which made us and Kasia and Andy very happy indeed! Kasia got ready in the party room in the courtyard and it was, shall we say, busy. There was a hair and make-up production line going on and mum, grandma and bridesmaid, Natalie, were busy steaming any remaining creases out of Kasia's fabulous Pronovias wedding gown. The couple's gorgeous little boy, Ollie, came to join the girls just before we left them to start photos of Andy and his brother and best man, James. The Cawthorne Suite was expertly dressed by Mel from Passion Flowers and the ceremony, conducted by the Pontefract registrars, was a pleasure to capture. We had a generous timeline before the wedding breakfast, especially important when daylight is short, but the couple were so much fun to work with and really enthusiastic about their photographs, that the time flew by far too quickly. Then we had the dilemma of how to get their much wanted twilight shots because twilight is time critical and lost after only a few minutes. This was one of many times when our two photographer team came into its own; Janet stayed indoors and captured the speeches whilst Alex set up outside for the twilight photos. It was still touch and go whether we would miss the perfect time, as daylight was fading fast and the speeches were underway, but with help from Lee, the venue's master of ceremonies, who liaised with Alex and kept him informed, made an announcement to the guests, and got the couple outside just in time, things came together, giving Kasia and Andy something very special for their wedding album. It was close guys but we nailed it! So glad your speeches were short 😊 There were a few more groups to capture after dinner and with Kasia being a dance teacher we expected Mr and Mrs Hibbitt's first dance to be a bit different! Congratulations and thanks a million for putting your trust in us to capture your absolutely beautiful day!
