Wedding Photography Rogerthorpe Manor

Sarah and Rich's wedding will be the next to appear on our blog but we were over the moon to receive this lovely email from Sarah's mum, Chrissy, just a few days after we photographed this lovely wedding at Holyrood church in Barnsley and reception at Rogerthorpe Manor for this fabulous couple who were a joy to spend time with.  Thank you very much for this Chrissy.

"WOW!  What a wonderful day we had last Saturday - everyone said how much they had enjoyed it and everything went so well.  I'm back at work now, and coming back down to earth, but just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU again for all your hard work on the day, and for all you did.  I know Sarah and Rich will be highly delighted and they thought the presentation was fantastic, as did everyone.  We just can't wait for the album and re-live our wonderful day, thanks to you."

Wedding photography Waterton Park Hotel - thank you 

Today we were very happy to receive a lovely thank you card from Sarah and Tom Cass whose wedding we photographed at Waterton Park in the summer. 

"To Alex and Janet

We would both like to start by saying a HUGE thank you for everything you have done for us.  Our wedding pictures are stunning and everyone we show them to can only echo this.  We are so glad we chose to have the storybook as it really does show off the images to their best.  You have both made us feel so relaxed right from our first meeting, to our engagement shoot and of course on the big day.  Our guests have commented how lovely and how professional you both were on the day.  We are so glad you were recommended to us and we will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer.  You have given us memories which we can treasure for a lifetime.  Love from Sarah and Tom Cass x"

Laura and Alan

Laura and Alan will tie the knot in February at the Bridge Inn in Walshford near Wetherby and we met up with them today to discuss their wedding photography and their plans for their big day. Afterwards, we braved the cold to take some photographs of them together around their venue. This session helped them relax and feel more confident in front of the camera. We are really looking forward to working with them on their wedding day.

Woolley Hall Wedding Photographers

Nicola and Darren's wedding at Woolley Hall, Wakefield on 17 October 2009

The lovely autumn sunshine continued for the wedding of Nicola and Darren at the beautiful setting of Woolley Hall. We arrived at the couple's house for Nicola's preparations and we knew from what Nicola had told us that her dress was going to be something very special and it certainly was - a stunning Spanish design with an amazing ruffled skirt. On arrival at Woolley Hall with it's frontage covered in spectacular red foliage, we were greeted by a chimney sweep who had been hired by Nicola's sister, Diane, as a surprise for the couple. We spent some time with Darren, his sons Joshua and Cameron and best man, Stuart (who was so helpful to us and kept everything running smoothly - thank you Stuart), taking some relaxed photographs around the grounds before Nicola arrived by horse drawn carriage accompanied by her friend Suzanne, son Tom and daughter Eli, whose privilege it was to give her mum away. The ceremony was full of emotion because Nicola and Darren had been teenage sweethearts who then went their separate ways only to be reunited years later and there were lots of jokes that it had taken them twenty-five years to tie the knot! The brief for the day was for only a few group photographs and the rest to be informal and fun but Darren did admit that he had really enjoyed the relaxed posing! With the after dinner speeches covered and the daylight gone, we finished the photographs inside Woolley Hall with our lovely couple on the staircase. The first dance to "Reunited" was very romantic and very appropriate. Thank you Nicola and Darren for letting us share this very special day with you. We were delighted to be your wedding photographers and we wish you a fantastic honeymoon in Mexico!

Sarah and Paul's wedding at the Hotel St Pierre, Newmillerdam, Wakefield on 10 October 2009

Today we were the wedding photographers for Sarah and Paul. This special day started with a warm welcome from Sarah's mum and dad, Rita and Graham, when we arrived at their house for Sarah's preparations. The weather was warm too - a lovely autumn day! Whilst we were taking photographs of Sarah's gorgeous white dress which had the most beautiful silver embroidery and her accessories including a very important Leeds United garter, Sarah arrived relaxed and calm from the hairdressers and helped her bridesmaids get ready (thought it was supposed to be the other way round!) Before leaving, we got some shots as Rita and chief bridesmaid, Alison struggled to fasten Sarah's dress and it was also nice to be able to take some portraits of our lovely bride ready. We then left for the Hotel St Pierre in Newmillerdam to meet Paul and his attendants for their photographs. A white garage door as a background for a portrait of Paul complimented the elegant black, white and silver colour scheme which the couple had chosen. After a chat with the very kind and accommodating registrar, we knew we'd have no problem getting Sarah and Paul some images to treasure from their marriage ceremony. She told us that we should just do the very best we could for the couple - our sincere thanks to her on behalf of Sarah and Paul because this is what our fantastic job is all about. After the ceremony, we left the guests for a while to go to the lakeside in Newmillerdam for photographs of the couple together. The location we chose makes such a nice backdrop for the pictures and is the same one we used for Sarah and Paul's engagement session a few weeks ago, from which they chose a photograph to display at the wedding with a signature mount for their guests to sign. Thankfully, the weather was much kinder on their wedding day! Arriving back at the hotel, we got all the guests involved in a big group shot, followed by confetti throwing and then some fun shots with the couple, chief bridesmaid and best man, before completing the family groups. After dinner and speeches, we spent some time with Sarah and Paul in their bridal suite taking some special, romantic images for them. A fabulous day in the company of a fabulous couple ended for us after their first dance. Thank you for choosing us to share your very special day. It was a privilege to join you and your lovely families.

Monk Fryson Hall Wedding Photographers

Nathalie and John's wedding at Monk Fryston Hall on 19 September 2009

We had a fabulous day in the company of Nathalie and John and their lovely families and friends in the beautiful surroundings of Monk Fryston Hall. The couple tied the knot in a touching and very personal civil ceremony and they couldn't have wished for better weather for their celebrations afterwards! We joined Nathalie for her preparations first and we really enjoyed photographing her fabulous dress and accessories, including some stunning silver shoes with very high heels! Next we joined John and his attendants (there were a lot of you guys but you were great sports and such good fun) for their photographs around the grounds before returning to Nathalie for her final preparations and finishing touches before the ceremony - she looked amazing! With quite a few group shots to get through, we still had enough time left for a few photographs of Nathalie and John together and some fun shots with Nathalie and her bridesmaids before going inside to take shots of the wedding breakfast room and the cake. After dinner and the speeches, the couple spent some time with us so that we could take some gorgeous, creative photographs in their bridal suite before going outside for some romantic night shots outside the venue. Thank you to you both for choosing us to be part of your very special day - it was a privilege to share it with you.

Master Photographers Association Print Competition - 8 June 2009

The Master Photographers Association held their annual print competition and award ceremony on Monday, 8 June 2009. The competition was judged to a very high standard by John Parris FMPA and there were 229 entries into the various categories. The Classical Wedding category always attracts one of the highest numbers of entries and it is very difficult to secure an award in this particular category as competition is always fierce. Therefore, Janet was delighted to win a Merit award in the Classical Wedding category. John described the image as a great capture with fantastic expressions showing everyone having a good time. Our thanks must go to Kathryn and Stephen Boyes, the couple in the image, for choosing us as their photographers and for being such a joy to work with. Kathryn's beautiful smile shone all day long and we had a wonderful day with her, Stephen and their family and friends.
