A Fireworks Night Wedding

With a running theme over the last few weeks of looking back at my archive of Weddings on commemorative days, today I'm looking back at Angi & Jon's Wedding on Guy Fawkes Night 2011.

I know Angi & Jon personally and it can sometimes be a tricky task to juggle being part of the Wedding Party while also trying to be the Wedding Photographer too, however I'm glad to say I managed to join the celebrations as a friend while also producing a great set of memorable images from the day.

As well as a highlight of stills I also put together a slideshow of their favourite images sound-tracked with one of their favourite bands Blur and the song 'You're so Great' which you can see below.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Angi & Jon!!

A Halloween Wedding

This time last year I was shooting an intimate Halloween themed Wedding for the lovely couple of Avi & Brian Larder at the stunning Jacobean manor of Holdsworth House.
With black as colour of the day and place names such as 'Corpse Bride' & 'Maid of Horror' this spooky theme didn't stop the party with smiles and laughter all afternoon.

Here's a reflection on Avi & Brian's day which makes me wish I could shoot Weddings on Halloween every year.

A Greek Wedding, Ios Island:

In 2012 I was offered the fantastic opportunity of shooting a wedding abroad so naturally I jumped at the chance!

The couple were Stefan & Katy who incidentally, (in this small world) only lived round the corner from my parent's house in Middlesbrough, making it easy to pop over for cups of tea and planning of the big trip.

Fast forward to June of this year and I was on my way to the quaint little Greek Island of of Ios with a motley crew of wedding guests for a memorable weekend of sun and fun which I was happy to regard as work.

All of the guests made me feel like one of the wedding party, inviting me to meals and for nights out and I truly made some good friends, as well as gaining interest from other future brides looking to plan their very own special day.

Stef & Katy's wedding took place on 15th June 2013 on Ios Island and this is their story....
