A mega busy week and one where we were so lucky to have decent weather for the majority of the time, saw us with the wonderful Hayley and Nathaniel for wedding number three in three days, and another trip to take wedding photographs at St Wilfrid's Church, Brayton, where we've had the pleasure of being Selby wedding photographers on several occasions. After capturing the relaxed bridal preparations at the couple's home it was on to the church to wait for Nathaniel, who arrived in a beautiful vintage car, at the exact time we'd arranged, giving us plenty of time to capture groom portraits and lots of other photos before Hayley arrived with her proud dad. The resident vicar, Pete, a hilarious Scotsman and definitely one of the residents of our favourite vicars' list, wasn't present that day but the vicar who married the couple was lovely and allowed us to get on with the job of capturing Hayley and Nathaniel's wedding vows as they tied the knot in this spectacular church. Everyone headed out into the sunshine to shower them with confetti and then make the journey to the reception. We're regular Rogerthorpe Manor wedding photographers and always feel very much at home at this venue. We knew though that we were on a tight timeline, as there were two weddings being hosted that day, not surprising on a Saturday in August, but Hayley, Nathaniel and their guests were absolute stars who arrived at Rogerthorpe Manor as quickly as possible and stayed close by so that we can could complete the group photos fast, leaving us a few precious minutes for couple photos in the beautiful, picturesque main garden. Fifteen minutes before the guests began to sit for the wedding breakfast was our cue to scoot inside and photograph the room, this time the Lawrence Suite, and some of the details couples put some much time and effort into choosing. After the speeches we made use of the other areas around the grounds for Hayley and Nathaniel's photographs. This time is a complete contrast to the faster pace we inevitably have to work at earlier in the day and it's always a time we really enjoy, as we get to slow things down and the couple can relax and spend time together. We love being able to chat with them more and get some romantic images for them. Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Reeson for booking us. Your wedding had so many of the things that make for a fabulous day - a couple whose joy at becoming husband and wife you could see in their faces, lots of laughter, an accommodating vicar, great weather, beautiful locations, friendly guests, and some gorgeous twilight photos, the perfect final chapter of a spectacular wedding album. Congratulations and our very best wishes for a long and happy life together!
