Wedding Photography at Rogerthorpe Manor | Laura-Jo and Scott's Wedding

Laura and Scott are a genuinely lovely couple who we hit it off with as soon as we met them to discuss their wedding photography at Rogerthorpe Manor.  As if this day wasn't a big enough celebration anyway, being Laura's 30th birthday as well as her wedding day, we were buzzing with excitement because she had asked us how we felt about photographing a horse at their wedding.  Ebony had been on long term loan to Laura but Scott had a surprise announcement to make during his emotional speech, that he had bought Ebony as a wedding gift and that she would be arriving after the meal.  This created a lot of excitement amongst the guests and the venue staff, including our friend, Karen, one of the wedding co-ordinators, who was giddy about the prospect of some unique photographs of a beautiful bride on her horse.  And what about the weather, which has a nasty habit of scuppering the best laid plans?  No pressure then!  Sometimes you get lucky and we struck gold with a glorious day at the time of year when it's not dark until around 10pm. After the civil ceremony in the Cawthorne Suite, everyone enjoyed refreshments in the grounds whilst we cracked on with the formal group shots.  There was time before the wedding breakfast for a handful of couple photos and as there was no one around in the 1610 bar, which has gorgeous lighting, we set up for some romantic portraits in there before everyone sat for dinner.  There were some lovely details to photograph and after struggling to finalise a colour scheme, the couple decided on mainly yellow, mixed with other vibrant colours, and the Cawthorne Suite looked fabulous.  The arrangement was for Ebony to be brought to Rogerthorpe Manor in her horse box at 7pm, and everything ran like clockwork. Laura's friends had worked incredibly hard to get Ebony wedding ready and bring her to the venue, and this beautiful girl behaved impeccably.  After all the excitement and working with a huge audience, we slowed things down with a relaxed couple portrait session and then some twilight photos after the first dance. Mr and Mrs Vickers, you are wonderful and kind and you were such a pleasure to work with. People like you guys are the reason why we love our job so much.  Laura, you looked absolutely radiant, and Scott, you scrubbed up well too!  What a spectacular wedding album you're going to have! Congratulations on your marriage, Laura's birthday and on finally being able to call Ebony your own.

Wedding Photography at Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel | Jamella and Mark's Wedding

Jamella and Mark found us when they booked their venue and saw an album of some of our wedding photography at Rogerthorpe Manor.  We're so proud to be recommended by the lovely staff at this beautiful venue and it's always a pleasure to capture the celebrations of the couples who choose it.  We started our coverage of Jamella and Mark's wedding, not on the wedding day itself, but the evening before with Mark and his party having haircuts and traditional wet shaves at Karl Smith in Barnsley.  It was an early start the next day and we caught up with the lads as they got suited and booted at their hotel, before we headed off to capture Jamella's preparations.  It was really good to work once again with Andrew and Gail from A & G Productions who travelled some distance to video this gorgeous wedding. With winter weddings you expect it to be cold at best, but after the ceremony the weather was mild enough for everyone to stay outside for family photographs at the church.  It was a massive bonus to be able to get the group photos outdoors with no complaints about the cold or be forced to work inside due to poor weather!  After an impressive volley of confetti at the church gate, we got a head start to Rogerthorpe Manor with only the big group photo left to organise before we could devote some time to the newlyweds and capture some couple and bridal portraits whilst we still had daylight. During a lull between wedding breakfast courses Jamella and Mark nipped into the 1610 bar for a more few pictures and after the speeches we headed outside again for sparkler and evening shots.  We had such a fantastic, fun day with this wonderful, enthusiastic couple. Our sincere thanks for choosing us to be your Rogerthorpe Manor wedding photographers.  You've given us nothing but praise about our work and coming from Mark especially, who works for a professional camera company and knows loads of photographers, you choosing us was a huge compliment!  Congratulations and we wish you every happiness for your future together.
