Wedding Photographer The Bridge Inn, Walshford | Victoria & Adam's Wedding

Victoria and Adam chose us to be their Bridge Inn, Walshford wedding photographers and this meant a lot to us, as they are the fourth couple from the same group of friends whose weddings we have photographed, and in August it will be five couples.  We hope these guys have lots more yet to be married friends, ha, ha!!  Seriously, it's amazing for us as professional wedding photographers when all these fabulous people choose us to capture such an important occasion in their lives and we are privileged, so from the bottom of our hearts we thank each and every one of you lovely lot.  We started coverage of the bridal preparations at Vicky's mum's house. There were the details to photograph, and the light in the conservatory where Vicky got ready was soft and beautiful.  Then there was the added bonus that she was ready with time to spare before we had to leave to meet Adam and the lads and start the wedding photos at The Bridge Inn.  It's really nice to be able to get a few photographs as the bride's dress is fastened and capture a proud as punch dad as he sees his daughter in her wedding dress for the very first time.  We met up with the boys at the venue and it was like being amongst friends.  Adam was a groomsmen at two weddings we've photographed (luckily we haven't scared him off!) and Ali, Adam's best man, was the groom who started it all.  Vicky gave us a heads-up about the yellow socks the guys would be wearing and Ali gave us a heads-up about the Haribo rings he would be passing to the couple during the ceremony!  A stunning Vicky arrived with her dad, the ceremony was full of emotion, and it was plain to see how much this day meant to the newly married couple. The weather was overcast, perfect for photographs, but threatening rain at any moment, and once the group photos were in the bag we had a few minutes away from the guests for some couple portraits before the wedding breakfast.  Thankfully, the rain held off for long enough.  During the speeches Adam sang a song he'd written especially for Vicky and there was hardly a dry eye in the house.  Thank you Mr and Mrs Ledger for choosing us to photograph your wedding.  We wish you every happiness for the future and we look forward to seeing you again in August, as wedding guests this time.

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.
