BEST OF 2014!

A belated look back at some of the great Weddings that I shot throughout 2014.

It truly was a fab year and I have so many good memories looking back through all my work. Thanks to all the great clients I've had, friendly guests, the other suppliers I've met, and all the kind words given.

It's always a pleasure and never a chore. Here's to looking forward in 2015!

Juno & Joy Real Wedding Feature

Continuing on the theme from my last post I've had another one of my summer Weddings featured on a great Wedding Blog - 'Juno & Joy'.
This time it features Alice & Baz and their D.I.Y Humanist Ceremony at Rushpool Hall in Saltburn-by-the-Sea. With lots of little trinkets and homespun details it's a great wedding for getting ideas and inspiration as well as for those looking forward to next summer already!

SYGM Real Wedding Feature

It gives me great pleasure to have Bex & Si's Wedding featured on the AWARD WINNING Wedding Blog 'So Your Getting Married'.
Set out in the beautiful North Yorkshire venue of Laskill House the day was fun, relaxed and with a rustic charm that fitted the whole setting. Although it rained most of the day in true British fashion no one let the weather stop them having a good old knees up!

Kiss The Bride Magazine Interview

Recently I was asked by the wonderful people at Kiss The  Bride Magazine if I'd be happy to do an interview about being a Groom-to-Be (for those of you who don't know I'm due to get married in June 2016) as part of their article 'Getting Your Groom Involved in Wedding Planning'.

Naturally I said yes hoping to provide some useful tips as someone in the midst of my own wedding planning as well as being a wedding industry insider.

Your Yorkshire Wedding Magazine Feature

This has turned out to be a bit of belated post due to the insane amount of Wedding work I've had over the summer (which I'm certainly not complaining about!) but finally I've got round to displaying my excitement and pleasure at being featured in the July/August edition of Your Yorkshire Wedding Magazine in their article 'Shooting Yorkshire'.

The magazine should still be available in all good outlets for a good few weeks yet, but if you want a copy and can't find it in the shops then you can buy direct from their website here: http://www.youryorkshireweddingmagazine.com/buy-a-copy.cfm

Thanks to David & Jo for having faith in my work and setting this up!

Summer Weddings Flashback Part 2.

Last week I blogged part one of my Summer Flashback feature, looking back at Weddings I shot over the summer months of June, July & August 2013.
This week part two looks at me on the road shooting Weddings all over the north of England from The Lakes to West Yorkshire.

Katie & James Tait, North Yorkshire, 3rd August:
Katie & James were married at The Grove Methodist Church in Horsforth before moving on to the grand surroundings at Ripley Castle. This was a great location and I was able to shoot beautiful scenes with Katie & James all around the castles grounds in the beaming sunshine of mid summer. On the evening a huge party awaited at the castle with live music and plenty of dancing to finish off the day.

Kelly & Dean Smith, Newmillerdam Country Park, 10th August:
Kelly & Dean were married at Hotel St.Pierre just round the corner from the scenic location of Newmillerdam Country Park. The newly-wed couple took a walk alongside the lake with Bridesmaids and Ushers in tow to get a unique collection of photographs. Although Kelly's feet nearly fell off due to all the walking in heels we got some really great shots through the park, ones that will long outlast the memory of her soar feet!

Charlotte & Martin Scotson, The Lake District, 27th August:
Charlotte & Martin choose New House Farm in Lorton as their venue which was a great backdrop for the day. Although the weather was our enemy in parts, we stuck to our guns and went up into the surrounding hills to get some dramatic shots overlooking Crummock Water.
Karen Rhodes Catering served up the Wedding Breakfast with the fantastic idea of volunteering guests from each table to be head chef and carve up the meat to serve to the others before it was all washed down with drinks and music to end a great day.

Summer Weddings Flashback Part 1.

With winter now upon us and Christmas just around the corner I decided to do a two part blog feature looking back at some of the truly great Weddings I captured out in the sunshine of summer 2013.

Vicki & David Martin, York 26th June:
We start Part 1. with Vicki & David's wedding on a bright Wednesday afternoon in York. Vicki & Dave's Wedding was a low key event with a select few family and friends. This close knit group's laughing and joking over beers and wine made for a truly a unique atmosphere.

Vicky & Dave were really keen to get some photos of themselves walking down York's famous Shambles and I think the results worked out perfectly:

Katy & Stef Bahlaj, Ios Island, Greece 15th June:
This wedding was a fantastic opportunity to shoot abroad which I actually blogged about earlier in the year. You can check out the full story here: A Greek Wedding, Ios Island

Jodi & Louis Moore, Scarborough 27th July:
Jodi & Louis choose the scenic venue of Ox Pasture Hall, just on the edge of the North York Moors. Jodi & Louis were lucky enough to be married outside on a blazing hot day that left me badly sunburnt (but happy to be so). They were also able to bring along their beloved dog Bailey to join in the celebrations and Jodi's summery colour scheme summed up what was a vibrant, fun day:

Look out for Part 2. next week with weddings at the stunning venues of Ripley Castle, Newmillerdamn Country Park and The Lake District.... 

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!!
