Oulton Hall Wedding Photographers | Laura and James's Wedding

Laura and James booked us as their Oulton Hall wedding photographers for their big day between Christmas and New Year and we were really looking forward to capturing their celebrations at this spectacular venue, where we always love working. It's a Leeds wedding photographer's paradise with so many opportunities for beautiful wedding pictures, plus we're on the venue's recommended supplier list and we always receive a warm welcome.  With all the wedding photography at Oulton Hall we began with Laura getting ready in one of the spacious suites. Her dress was absolutely gorgeous, as were her flowers, and they were made of paper! James looked really smart in a tweed suit, with he and his party sporting stripy socks, a perfect opportunity for some fun pictures. The couple tied the knot in the opulent Repton Room with its spectacular chandeliers and we did capture a nervous James looking at his phone to check the time as he waited for Laura's entrance with her dad. We got to work alongside Abigail Grace Videography for the first time and it was lovely to spend the day with her. The weather forecast is always a big topic of conversation the bride or the groom raises and we always advise that they not listen to it. The forecast for Laura and James's big day was for no rain whatsoever, none, staying dry and mild all day, the weather bods said.  So when we went outside straight after the ceremony and it was raining it was a bit of a disappointment, but as everyone was already outside or on their way out, we went ahead with the big group and confetti photos. Laura wasn't at all phased by the weather and if the bride's happy we don't care about getting soggy! After the groups in the Repton Lounge we took Laura and James for photos at the main hotel entrance which is under cover and then the rain stopped, allowing for some lovely shots in the grounds. Laura very much wanted some pictures featuring the impressive Christmas tree in the lounge and after the wedding breakfast we had a fabulous time with this lovely couple getting some shots on the gallery, and in the orangery with its black and white tiles, both wonderful places for photographs. Many thanks Mr and Mrs Pfluger for choosing us to share your celebrations. We had the best day. Congratulations!

Beautiful Wedding Photography at Oulton Hall | Abigail & Mike's Wedding

Abi's bubbly personality meant we hit if off within moments of meeting and we were over the moon when we heard from her to book us to provide the wedding photography at Oulton Hall for her and Mike.  Everything took place at the one venue, we arrived early for bridal prep and caught our first glimpse of Abi's stunning dress, complete with ostrich feathers and loads of detail.  A pair of beautiful blue Manolo Blahniks deserved to be photographed in a special location and we have a place that we love to use for those extra special bridal accessories.  It was just a short hop to Mike's room and he was in the middle of sorting out his sons, Xander and Benji, when we showed up.  Abi was accompanied into the civil ceremony in the exquisite Repton Room by her proud brother, and emotion got the better of Mike as he turned to see his bride.  After the ceremony, a good pelting with confetti and the group shots, we had a special request photo to capture for Abi, who has another love apart from Mike, her car, which was parked at the front.  We had such a giggle working with this gorgeous couple and the time flew by, taking us to wedding breakfast time before we knew it.  Our bride had another special request, having seen something similar in one of our wedding albums, a portrait on the settee in the main lounge, which needs to be timed when there is as little traffic as possible through the hotel.  The speeches brought tears to a great many eyes, with Mike's sons stealing the show, and it was obvious how incredibly proud he is of them.  As regular Oulton Hall wedding photographers we know that the locations indoors are lovely and we are in our element when a couple are happy to give us their time so that we can create some evening portraits for them.  Abi and Mike joined us on the gallery before their first dance together and the resulting images will be amazing as large photos in their wedding album.  This was the time of year when it's still light until late so the new Mr and Mrs Thompson danced their first dance in the Repton Suite with daylight streaming in, to a live band, after which Abi changed into a second dress, a slinky little number, and we ended our coverage of this beautiful wedding with some twilight photos. We wish them all the happiness in the world!  

Of course we would love you to share our images on Facebook but please make sure that if you do, our details are not cropped out.  Thank you.
