It has been a while since I last photographed a wedding at Crab Manor so it was nice to be back again.  Below is a selection of highlights from Amy & Adam’s wedding for you to enjoy.

Victoria & Neil make a lovely couple and they were very organised in their plans for their wedding day.  Along with the organisational skills of Dine, their wedding day was superb.  From the flowers (Friday Flowers), to the chair covers (Creative Cover Hire Yorkshire), to the string quartet (Strelitzia), everything made for a very special wedding day.

Other information to possibly help in the planning of your wedding are that Victoria & Neil also chose to have a Jazz Trio (Emlyn Vaughan).  Their evening band was Adam Laird (Rock Tech Ltd), and a magician (Tom Weil).

I always try to do something different when photographing a wedding, and especially when working at a location I have worked at on many occasions before it would be easy to do the same photography for every wedding.  However I want to push myself to try something different and interesting and as such have captured some great photographs of Victoria & Neils wedding.  Please find below a selection of the photographs taken on their day.

Newton-on-Ouse is a lovely tree-lined village North of York, and the church is very well presented and picturesque.  Being a beautiful sunny day made it all the more lovely, and with a garden party reception was idyllic.  Following the ceremony the couple took a ride in the rickshaw towards Benningborough Hall, which allowed the opportunity for some lovely intimate photographs of the two of them.  Later in the afternoon the light by the river Ouse was beautiful for photography, so I was able to capture some great shots of the two of them at the bottom of the garden.

If you are planning a wedding then I can tell you the flowers were supplied by Celia at ‘Flowers By Design‘ in Easingwold, Alyx’s dress was supplied by ‘Angel Brides‘ in Horsforth, and they had a wedding planner Jennie from ‘Hansley Beard‘ who worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly, and everything was set for the idyllic wedding day it was.

Here are a selection of photographs from their day for you to enjoy.

The day went extremely well with us being able to take the group shots outside, and for Vanessa & Mustafa to have 15 minutes to themselves where I was able to capture some lovely intimate moments between the two of them.  For me these are the special shots that the couple really like to have in their album as they are completely natural and unposed.  I am able to capture the surroundings as well as close-ups of them together, and create something akin to a fine art photograph.

I was asked if I could put together a presentation for everybody to watch between the meal and the first dance, which despite being fine in terms of timings, went well, and I pulled it off without any problems.  It is the first time I have been asked to do this, but went down well with the guests.  I would particularly like to thank John Starkey of Exclusive Entertainments, who was the DJ for the evening, who supplied a projector screen and sound lead to plug in my laptop for the presentation.  It is very much appreciated.

I was also asked if I would mind photographing the fireworks planned for later in the evening, which I duly did, and the results can be seen in the photographs below.

Some further information about Vanessa & Mustafa’s wedding day are that the Rolls Royce that Mustafa arrived in was supplied by a family friend, and really was finished to the highest detail; a really superb car.  Flowers were supplied by Jill Springall, and Vanessa & Mustafa had a String Trio play throughout the day, organised by Liz Stacey of Simply Strings.

Vanessa & Mustafa went on honeymoon yesterday and I wish them a great time.  In the meantime below is a selection of photographs from their wedding day.

Nicola wore a beautiful simple design of dress which complimented her well, supplied by ‘I Do Bridal House’ in Tadcaster.

Nicola & Rob are spending this week in the Lakes, so I wish them a great time and better weather, and I look forward to creating their album design when they return.  Here is a selection of photographs from their wedding day.

Katie looked stunning in her Ava Rose Hamilton wedding dress, with flowers supplied by Daisy Chain Florist.  Katie & Geoff had their wedding reception in a marquee in the grounds of Nostell Priory, with Dine Services supplying the catering.

This was indeed a beautiful wedding, and one which I thoroughly enjoyed photographing.  Katie & Geoff are very well suited and I am honoured to have been able to share their day with them.  I wish them well for their future together, and I look forward to hearing from them with their album image choices.  In the meantime here is a selection of photographs from their wedding day.

Incidentally if you are planning a wedding you might be interested to know that Emma’s wedding dress was supplied by Elizabeth of York, and eye catching flowers were supplied by Yvonne Dennis of Husthwaite.  Emma travelled from her home to Sandburn in a superb Crysler supplied by Pure Class Wedding Cars.  Andrew from AJS Video Productions was their videographer, who was exceptionally easy to work with.  Emma & Jim’s exceptional cakes were made by Emma’s sister Amanda, who is gradually building her portfolio of cakes to build her cake making business. 

I wish Emma & Jim a lovely time on honeymoon and I look forward to creating their album design.  In the meantime highlights from their wedding can be seen below:

The Mansion is a venue I have not worked at before, so it is always inspiring to photograph somewhere different.  Set in the stunning surroundings of Roundhay Park in Leeds, it is a traditional style of venue and exceptionally well presented.  It has a magnificent presence in the park, set up on a hill overlooking the park.  I would highly recommend it as a venue to consider if you are planning a wedding in and around the Leeds area.  The venue is managed by Dine Services who are excellent at organising and managing weddings.

Some information to help you in the planning of your wedding are that Julia’s simple but elegant dress was a Caroline Castigliano designer dress.  Flowers were supplied by Christine at Horticouture in Huddersfield, and complemented Julia’s dress perfectly.  The stunning Rolls Royce Silver Cloud was supplied by Adel Executive & Wedding Car Hire, and the cake was by Judith of Simply Cakes in Leeds.  Steve of Unit1 Entertainment arranged the vocalist Wayne Allen & the DJ.

Julia & Chris are now on honeymoon and I am really looking forward to creating their wedding album for them when they return.  In the meantime here is a selection of photographs from their day.
