CHARLOTTE & THOM | DEVONSHIRE ARMS | BOLTON ABBEY | SKIPTON | DECEMBER 17TH 2016

 

It was a cold and frosty morning when I arrived at The Devonshire Arms, for the wedding of Charlotte & Thom,

along with Mrs Vivienne Myers.

Some of the lads went for a pre wedding walk, so thought we’d capture this first 🙂

Then it was off into a much warmer climate to photograph the beautiful Charlotte & her bridesmaids & man! 😉

After they were all ready, we headed to the ceremony room 🙂

Then it was off outside for the group shots.

Bolton Abbey isnt too far away, so we took Charlotte & Thom there for their portrait pictures 🙂

Right after the speeches we braced the cold once more, for some sparklers & evening photos.

Then it was time for cake cutting & a fabulous first dance.

It finished with a very very nice (I can contest to that!) hogroast! 🙂 Yummy

This was my second wedding at the Mansion, Leeds, but my first on my own 🙂

It’s a lovely venue, situated in Roundhay Park.

It was a lot colder today, than the last time I photographed a wedding here, but as long as the rain stayed away – we’d be good! ha

I arrived early to meet & photograph Jen & her bridesmaids.

Once Andy arrived at The Mansion, I popped downstairs to grab a few shots of the groom 🙂wedding-the-mansion-leeds-jen-andy-211wedding-the-mansion-leeds-jen-andy-207

It was still dry when the ceremony had finished, so we headed outside for the group shots.

After the group shots, it was time to take the bride & groom around Roundhay Park for some shots of them two 🙂

I was lucky enough to photograph a good friend of mine’s wedding earlier in the year – another photographer to be exact.

Her wedding, firstly made it into the pages of the Daily Mail & then to a full double page spread of Yorkshire Bride …..

Happy is an understatement on the last one!!

Although these aren’t technically ‘published’ images – The photo of Singleton Lodge on these pages IS mine!

Its always nice to see you pictures being used to promote a wedding venue & I realise that Trip Advisor & Late Rooms can’t

be held responsible if someone steals my image & uses it as theirs, but just thought i’d let people know that if you see this image of

Singleton Lodge Hotel, then its mine – taken on an iphone of all things, during the wedding breakfast! 🙂

Cuerden Valley is fast becoming my go to place for local pre wedding shoots, as come

winter, spring, summer or autumn, it always looks great 🙂 It is however becoming tricky to source new places for

pictures, but I think I managed to get some great shots of Charlotte & Ste today – It helped that it was a laugh a minute! 🙂

So today I travelled through rain & wind, to sunny (ish) Leeds, for the pre wedding shoot of Jen & Andy.

They’re getting married in a few weeks at The Mansion, which is in the grounds of Roundhay Park, so thought we’d

meet there for a venture around the area … whilst making the most of the beautiful autumnal colours 🙂

I must say, Farington Lodge always looks lovely in autumn, so I was glad the weather was playing ball

as I arrived, which made the lodge looks splendid 🙂

After taking a few shots of the gorgeous grounds, it was off inside to say hello to Pam & her bridesmaids 🙂

Myself, Pam & Jason, then ventured around the grounds of Farington Lodge, to take a few pictures of the lovely couple.

I’ve been to Farington Lodge a few times, since they added the Garden Pavilion, and always had the shot I wanted in mind,

well luckily, the conditions were just about perfect to pull it off @ Pam & Jason’s wedding 🙂

I arrived at Amanda’s mum & dad’s house, and I must say the weather wasn’t brilliant, however, as to paraphrase the above,

which was coincidentally was wrote on the wall of Brook House Hotel – You’ve just gotta make the most of it & rock your

wedding anyway! Which we did!

With Dave nearby, we managed to nip round to see him & the groomsmen too 🙂

It was then time to drive just round the corner, to the local church, St John’s.

wedding-brook-house-hotel-amanda-david-179-copy-3

After the ceremony, It was another short drive to Brook House Hotel.

The rain was still coming down heavy, but Brook House was decorated so beautifully, it just didn’t matter 🙂

wedding-brook-house-hotel-amanda-david-266-copy-2

There was a small covering out the back, where we did what we could with the group shots –

must say though, I really do like the results.

Time fro the wedding breakfast, but first the speeches.

wedding-brook-house-hotel-amanda-david-396-copy-3

I was a little nervous at this point that we hadn’t got any images of Amanda & Dave together, so we ventured out

after the wedding breakfast – but after about 5 mins, the rain stopped anyway! 🙂

I’ve known Amanda since I was younger, as I use to hang around with her brother, but it was

still a pleasure when, at a local wedding fayre, they, Amanda & Dave, cam over to me, and basically booked me on the spot 🙂

Well, that was a few months back, and today was time for their pre wedding shoot.

We chose a local venue, my ‘local’, Cuerden Valley, and I always I love the results (so do Amanda & Dave btw!)

I’ve known Tracie for a while now, so although it was going to be a bit of a trek, I was honoured that she & Alan asked me to photograph

their big day 🙂

It was an early start for me, as its an 3 hour drive to Berwick upon Tweed, where I was meeting Tracie & her bridesmaid.

After the bridal prep, it was a 20 minute drive acroos the border, into bonny Scotland to meet Alan & his groomsmen,

in a pub next door to the Marriage Room.
wedding-the-marriage-room-coldstream-scotland-tracie-alan (162) wedding-the-marriage-room-coldstream-scotland-tracie-alan (165)

A lovely traditional Celtic ceremony was followed by a quick jaunt to Henderson Park, which is just across the road 🙂
