WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAIRFIELD MANOR YORK | REBECCA AND MICHAEL: MARRIED

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Rebecca and Michael are definitely made for each other. It’s all in the eyes, in the way Rebecca looks at Michael, and the way he looks back.

They had a gorgeous, relaxed, and intimate ceremony at Fairfield Manor just outside York.

Rebecca’s stunning and unusual bouquet of sunflowers was by Blumen Delightful:

I loved Rebecca’s short wedding dress by Bertex Bride. It set the relaxed scene for the whole wedding day:

Rebecca and Michael are BIG football fans, so by kind permission of York City Football Club we went over to their grounds for some couple shots:

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY GOLDBOROUGH HALL | LINDSEY AND ANDREW: ENGAGED

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Andrew and Lindsey make each other giggle and laugh. They are so easy to get along with, and are not afraid to be silly, which is the best combination!

We went to the Crab and Lobster for their engagement photos. The gardens are quiet and filled with nooks and crannies that are every photographers dream.

Lindsey and Andy are getting married in a few weeks time, they are both very creative and are making a lot of the details for the wedding themselves; I’ve seen some of the paper they are using and I can tell you it’s going to be good!

YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, PAPAKATA TIPI | HELEN AND DAVID:MARRIED

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

They say you are connected to everyone by six degrees of separation. David went to the same university as my friends boyfriend, and they lived in the same house. When Emma and Jules got married 4 years ago, I photographed their wedding (and doubled as a guest!), but Helen and David were in Japan and couldn’t make it. When Helen and David got married last weekend, Emma and Jules were away, and unfortunately couldn’t make it. So, it must have been fate that at some point I would meet Helen and David!

Their wedding was held at Helen’s parents house in the stunning North Yorkshire dales, and they had paid incredible attention to detail. Every aspect of the wedding was as stunning as the scenery, and it was a joy to photograph.

Helen’s gorgeous 1920′s inspired Jenny Packham dress:

Inside the PapaKata Marquee. This is no ordinary marquee, it is more like a tipi and looks amazing inside and out:

My favourite detail, a sweetie table flanked by photos of Helen and David’s parents on their wedding days!

The florists at Hart Company did an amazing job with the flowers, the bouquets screamed understated elegance and the flowers in the PapaKata tents were just stunning:

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER YORKSHIRE | LIZ AND DEAN: ENGAGED

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Not that she needs it, but Dean looks after Liz. It is so obvious how much he cares about her from the way he looks at her, and from the way she looks back, anyone can see she feels exactly the same way.

One of Liz and Dean’s first dates was in Staithes, a gorgeous fishing village near Whitby, so they choose to go back there for their engagement photos. It was an excellent choice, what could be better than sun, sea and sand?!

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY YORKSHIRE: PHILIPPA AND BRANDON: MARRIED

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

It poured down so hard on the Friday, we were all afraid the marquee would have washed away by Saturday. Saturday came, and the sunshine came with it. Brandon and Philippa had the perfect weather for the perfect wedding day, and everything went to plan.

I have included exposure information for anyone that is interested!

Isn’t this the most unusual bouquet you’ve ever seen? It’s a testament to how relaxed Brandon and Philippa were about the wedding. When the The Greenhouse suggested they’d create something unique, they said go for it, and it works really well! All the flowers were amazing.
