Wood Hall Wedding Photography | Kimberley and Gary

Kimberley and Gary gave us the biggest compliment you could ever hope to receive as a Wood Hall wedding photographer or any wedding photographer for that matter.  They changed their wedding date to book us.  We were overwhelmed by this and absolutely over the moon to provide their Wood Hall wedding photography.  We always try to avoid hearing or discussing the weather forecast for any wedding day as it's the one thing that no one can do anything about, but we have to admit that as the date drew closer it was very hard not to think about it, particularly as it had been a scorcher on the day Kim and Gary had originally booked, and the last thing we wanted was for it to be a disappointment on their wedding day.  It turned out to be wonderful weather, not too hot but warm and sunny and the wet stuff stayed firmly away for the whole day.  What a huge relief that was!   Kim got ready at home, which is just a short walk from St Andrew's church in Kirby Malzeard, and after capturing some of the morning's preparations, we met up with Gary to keep him busy ahead of his bride's arrival.  Kim and her dad arrived in a VW camper van, very much in keeping with the vintage theme of the wedding.  After the ceremony the newly married Mr and Mrs Breckon were whisked off to Wood Hall in the camper van and the weather and great co-operation from everyone meant a smooth and quick group photo session.  The Vavasour Suite looked beautiful and the couple had put a lot of effort into placing their own unique stamp on things, with the table decorations and place cards hand made by Kim. We knew that photographs in the Italian gardens were a high priority for her and after the speeches this lovely couple were more than happy to spend some time there whilst we captured some romantic images for them.  Kim said she felt very nervous about being photographed but you wouldn't know it from these stunning images of a gorgeous bride. We really can't thank you both enough for going to all the trouble you did just to have us as your Wood Hall wedding photographers and we will always remember the story of how that came to be.  You were absolute stars and a pleasure to spend the day with.  Your album is going to be amazing!

Wedding Photographer Wood Hall Hotel & Spa | Lisa and Nick

We photographed Lisa and Nick's celebrations last week, a lovely small wedding attended by those closest to the couple and our first of three weddings in three days.  It was a pleasure to be Wood Hall wedding photographers for this fantastic bride and groom who were so much fun to work with.  Everything was at one venue and we started as Lisa got ready in a suite upstairs.  She had chosen a spectacular princess dress, shoes with lots of bling and gorgeous roses in ivory and pink, very girly and very pretty.  

We found Nick and his boys in the bar and persuaded them outside for some photographs, using the picturesque location as a backdrop.  Nick had given the job of best man to his dad, which we thought we a lovely gesture, although it can be a bit of a risk when it comes to the speeches as your dad is likely to have lots of material!  Both dads played a big part in this wedding, as did Nick's son Harrison.  Nick was happy and relaxed during his portrait session and it was only at the beginning of the ceremony that we saw his nerves kick in as Lisa arrived at his side.  

The friendly registrars allowed us to capture the civil ceremony without restriction but afterwards, as the guests headed outside for the drinks reception, the weather decided to let us down, forcing us to photograph the groups on the main steps where there is some shelter. Thankfully the rain was short-lived and we were soon out on the terrace with the new Mr and Mrs Rollitt and their bridal party.  

Everything came together to allow for some relaxed couple photography time before we went inside to get those all important shots of a beautifully dressed Vavasour Suite and the table details before the wedding breakfast got underway.  The speeches were both funny and emotional and Roland Rat made an appearance.

Wedding photography at Wood Hall has lots of variety and after the wedding breakfast we went for a walk around the grounds and photographed the couple in the Italian Gardens before the daylight started to fall and the evening party got underway, kicked off by Lisa and Nick's first dance together.

Thank you so much for booking us to photograph your Wood Hall wedding.  We had a brilliant day with you and your families and friends.  We hope you love these images which are a small selection of our favourites from your special day and you are welcome to share them, complete with our logo.
