Brighouse Wedding Photographer - Steph & Ken at Holiday Inn

The 2nd of a double wedding weekend with Steph & Ken at The Holiday Inn Brighouse. I started bright and early with all the girls getting ready in one of the rooms and the weather was a defo improvement from the previous day (no rain at all)

The morning was really relaxed too as all the girls got ready in the same rooms and we had some really great window light coming through the big windows overlooking the front gardens of Holiday Inn. As Ken was also getting ready in the same hotel with his guys I hooked up with them when I could to capture some guy getting ready shots and Ken and the best man looking a little bit nervous at the thought of their speeches.

The ceremony was in the main room at Holiday Inn which splits in half and also is the reception room for later. After the ceremony I encouraged everyone into the courtyard to get as many group and family shots as possible before they all sat down for the reception. After a few tables moved around I made a great space to capture a full group shot and standing on a nearby chair (like you do) to get everybody in the frame

After the reception meal & speeches I had a little time outside the hotel grounds with Steph & Ken and the eve was very relaxed too which did give me chance for some gorgeous eve sunset shots over The Holiday Inn

Dancing late into the eve and below we have some randomly selected highlights from Steph & Ken's fun wedding day

Enjoy

Woodlands Wedding Photographer - Val & Steve

Last month I was back at the gorgeous Woodlands in Leeds for Val & Steve's FUN (defo a fun day) wedding though it was a little (lot) wet but that didn't stop the fun & laughter and lots of banter!

I started at Woodlands with all the crazy girls getting ready upstairs in the double room, loads of space to move around too #bonus

The ceremony was held in the village of Coley Halifax so as the girls were ready I set off to park outside the church to meet with all the guys and hopefully get some shots of guests arriving but as it was peeing it down they were all inside (don't blame them)

A quick chat with the very friendly vicar plus he showed me the balcony area I could use if I wanted through the service 😃 and I awaited Val's arrival in the cars provided by Westfields Cars of Meltham Huddersfield

After the service (as it was still raining) I suggested some family shots inside the church to get some in the bag so to speak so if we didn't get any better weather all day at least I had something. After some time inside the church and a confetti shot outside in the rain (thanks guys your awesome) we all headed over to Woodlands Leeds to carry on the fun

Always on weather watch and I did get about 10 mins to get a group shot outside before it started raining again 😂

Stacks of fun & craziness ALL DAY and massive thanks to Val & Steve plus ALL their family & friends for really being EPIC!

Below I have some randomly selected highlights from the previews which are online HERE

We will defo be attending the event and look forward to meeting up with other businesses in the wedding industry whether we win or not (be nice to win though)

Part of being nominated is also for you to showcase and provide evidence of why you think you should have a good chance of winning so here goes....😊

I started shooting weddings over 10 years ago now and at the beginning had a full time job at the same time. As weddings started to increase plus various other stuff like Lifestyle shoots things did become very difficult (the main job weren't very helpful or understanding if i booked a midweek wedding or sometimes even on a Saturday they expected us to work 6 days a week) but all my passion as time went on was shooting weddings as I loved every single minute from the girly getting ready to crazy dance offs on the dance floor (you usually find me on the dance floor)

As time progressed I really did get my own style of Wedding Photography by (i know this sounds a bit corny) just being myself, doing minimal structured formal posing so our couples really did enjoy their wedding day so much more plus injecting my personality into each wedding with lots of energy and FUN!

I LOVE to shoot weddings and really just favour lots of fun whilst capturing the wedding day in a more journalistic, natural vibe so when our couples crawl into bed after a super long day they really do have awesome memories of their special day, oh and the pics ain't too bad either

Below we have a few of our fav shots from the last 12 months of awesome fun weddings, whatever the weather we really do make every wedding lots of fun as you can see plus some screenshots of latest reviews plus a LINK to our FB page REVIEWS HERE

Enjoy and we have our fingers crossed for the English Wedding Awards 2018

Wentbridge House Engagement Photography - Charlotte & Ben

Yesterday I met up with Charlotte & Ben at Wentbridge House to go through upcoming wedding info plus get some nice relaxed and defo fun shots as we got to know each other better (we met them initially in Jan 2017 when they booked their special day with us), they had also brought along their cute doggie 'Florrie' 😀 

The grounds looked gorgeous and really great autumn light all around and lovely autumn colours too as I initially got some shots of the folly and grounds with the super wide 16-35 lens until I heard Charlotte shouting "Kev" 😜 as they walked down from the top car park with Florrie

I always seem to get a feel when I meet our couples for the pre shoot how they feel, are they nervous or not and I defo knew these guys were ready to rock and up for anything I asked. 

Our pre shoots are more structured as I try to make them as fun and relaxed as poss but obviously you have to keep giving directions to create fab pics (if you kinda enjoy the pre shoot with us you will defo enjoy the wedding as the story unfolds I just capture as much as poss with minimal fuss and lots of fun) check our REVIEWS HERE

After some time around the village of Wentbridge we all say down in the courtyard outside with Florrie really on her best behaviour (i think we had worn her out) to go through wedding info and just random chats

Below we have some highlights from Charlotte & Bens fun pre shoot yesterday

Enjoy
