WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER YORK | JENNY AND CHARLIE:ENGAGED

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Meeting Jenny was one proof that six degrees of separation do exist, or at least that some things must be meant to be. I was about to go on maternity leave when I fist got an email from her – she was currently living in London with her fiance Charlie and was trying to balance wedding planning with a hectic work schedule. I arranged to meet Jenny’s parents to chat about photography, and in doing so it transpired that I was about to move next door to them in a few weeks time. Thankfully the booking went ahead or future meetings may have been awkward ;-)

I didn’t have far to go for their engagement session, just a few steps over the fence. Their wedding at Newburgh Priory complete with a horse and carriage will soon be on the blog, but for now, here are the gorgeous couple strutting their stuff next door.

A silly one!

YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | TORY AND JAMES: ENGAGED

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Tory and James are getting married next year at the gorgeous Goldsborough Hall, and so came over for their engagement session just as the snow was melting away – the roads here have been so icy it’s been hard to get anywhere without a tractor. I’m a big fan of the snow, it coats everything with a glittery, pretty topping and makes even boring things look nice.

Tory and James don’t need anything to make them look nice though – they manage that all on their own! Just to add a bit of festiveness though, it’s snowing on my blog ;-)

HARROGATE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | LAUREN AND JAMES: ENGAGED

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I went to school with James, we used to go on school trips together and hung out in the sixth form common room. As a result, I already have lots of embarrassing photos of him (luckily, he has lost any he might have had of me!). He and his lovely fiance Lauren are getting married in November at the lovely Dodmoor House in Northamptonshire, and are planning a relaxed, party like wedding. I’m really looking forward to it, not only to see Lauren looking stunning in her dress, but to see lots of old faces from school!

He’s turned out OK hasn’t he – and done pretty well for himself?!

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER YORKSHIRE | ALYSON AND MATTHEW: ENGAGED

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Alyson and Matthew have chosen an amazing venue to get married – the michelin starred Star at Harome, near Helmsley in North Yorkshire. If you love great food and quirky, intimate venues, The Star may just be for you. And for the boys, the bridal suite even has a pool table in it. Not that you’d use it for pool ;-)

I loved that Alyson co-ordinated so well – gorgeous pillar box red lipstick, shoes and nails. Lovely!

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER LEEDS | SALLY AND DAN: ENGAGED

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Sally and Dan are getting married in just over a month in Leeds, and I had great fun with them getting these shots at their engagement session. They are off on safari for their honeymoon so we have been chatting about cameras and lenses, but really I think they need to take me with them as their official photographer ;-)

YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | CLAIRE AND GARETH: ENGAGED

Friday, June 11th, 2010

I just love Newby Hall for it’s gardens and wonderful calming atmosphere, and love having couples here for their engagement sessions. Claire and Gareth came over last week, and, despite telling me that they are not photogenic, proved the complete opposite! They are getting married in July in Harrogate, and I for one can’t wait to see Claire in her dress.

YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | DOM AND CHRIS: ENGAGED

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Dom and Chris are getting married on Saturday at the fabulous Goldsborough Hall, and they came to Newby Hall for their engagement session a few weeks ago. I’m looking forward to their wedding on Saturday and hoping for a nice day!

The gardens here at Newby are amazing for portraits. There are so many secret nooks and hiding places that are just great for engagement photographs (or any other portraits for that matter!). And for the brave among you, there is a little train as well ;-)
