Castle Hill Family Shoot I Courtney & James

Earlier today I met up with Courtney & James at Castle Hill for what was supposed to be a pre wedding shoot but due to the current situation with COVID19 we decided it would be a family shoot as the wedding is highly doubtful to be on the due date.

I always love to encourage a more natural and fun vibe and we wandered around Castle Hill with the beautiful weather too and in some parts where the sun was on it felt quite warm. 
We stopped for a while and as if by magic Courtneys mum whipped out a flask and chocky biscuits so we all had a brew and a natter and tried to keep Brandy (their super cute 2 year old german shepherd from attacking any of the other dogs up there)

Lovely family and great to meet up again, hopefully we get a new wedding date soon.

Below are some highlights from earlier with Courtney & James up Castle Hill

Hirst Priory Wedding Photographer I Hollie & Steven

A few weeks ago on the 29th Feb I was at a brand new wedding venue Hirst Priory based in Crowle Lincolnshire and what a stunning venue it was too, wow I really hope to be back here one day!

The weather well what can I say? The wedding was supposed to be outside in the woodland area but as you might be aware I think the whole of Feb was just one big downpour so the ceremony was moved inside the main reception room before they turned it around for the wedding breakfast, lovely room with lots of natural light coming through the large windows too.

For most of the day the rain held off and the sun did come out but if defo had a cold chill in the air. Inside Hirst Priory is absolutely stunning and the staff were so friendly (thanks guys) I really do hope we get chance to go back especially in our fav time to shoot weddings around Autumn especially if its outside too 😍

Massive thanks to Hollie & Steven too for sorting me out with an actual place on one of the tables where I got to chat with some of the guests as I got the full 3 course meal, how nice is that!

Defo a fab venue and thanks again for letting us share your special wedding day and loved the fireworks in the eve

Hazelwood Castle Pre Wedding I Louise & John

Earlier today in the super gorgeous light and blue sky I hooked up with Louise & John at the FAB Hazelwood Castle (nice to be back here again) to get some relaxed shots and to go through any info for the upcoming wedding day like times and family shots.

I could tell they were both a little nervous at the start but at the end of the time they both said they really enjoyed it which is always a good thing as I told them its more about us getting a connection and spending some time together a few weeks or so before the actual wedding day so they feel loads more relaxed on the actual day and enjoy it soooooo much more.

All i do i use a 70-200 2.8 lens (then went round after for some location shots) which gets the best look we prefer for portrait shots (favour this lens as well at weddings for small group shots to get a nice bokeh background), just chatting and stopping at various spots to have fun and get some shots, so much more relaxed than stiff and boring!

At the end of some time outside we sat down on the comfiest chairs ever to go through wedding info and get some ideas for family pics etc

Wentbridge House Wedding Photographer I Jessica & Matthew

The first wedding of 2020 and on a Sunday was at one of the fav venues in the West Yorkshire area Wentbridge House. I arrived early morning and was met with the news that Storm Ciara was in full effect this day (great :-/). I started with all the girls getting ready in one of the rooms overlooking the grounds and did notice Wentbridge had done lots of upgrades to the room and lots of new stuff (nice one guys).

When Matthew arrived I headed downstairs to spend some time with him and the guys hanging out in the Brasserie before they set off to the church, I did see the rain was literally bouncing down outside and really was praying I just got some time outside with everyone after church and also when we arrived back at Wentbridge House.

The church service was great and the vicar was super friendly (perfect), after the service and as we came outside the sun was shining (my prayers were answered) which really did just give everyone such a great feeling as I captured some stuff using the double church doors as a nice background before heading back to Wentbridge House to carry on the fun.

When everyone arrived back at Wentbridge House and as the sun was still with us I encouraged them all to stay outside (thats the hardest bit) so I could capture lots of couple shots and family stuff before I got some time with Jess & Matt before they all went in to get seated for the wedding breakfast and speeches

Massive shot to Danny for bobbing over to assist with the super wide photobooth backdrop which we set up later in the eve (we get awesome results with this)

Fab day and stacks of fun despite the weather
