Wedding photography at Hazlewood Castle, Yorkshire for Natalie and Chris on 10 July 2010

As weddings  photographers for Hazlewood Castle, it was our pleasure to join Natalie and Chris as they tied the knot in an early morning civil ceremony in the Victoria Room, accompanied by close family and friends.  Following a few photographs outside with Natalie wearing the first of two gorgeous dresses and Chris looking very smart in suit number one, the couple went their separate ways to get ready for their blessing in the beautiful chapel of St Leonard.  As we knew that this was to be conducted by the Reverend Ian Walton, we were really looking forward to capturing this very special part of Natalie and Chris's day.  Ian is such a pleasure to work with and he knows that the photographs capturing the ceremony are so important to the couple. 

We gatecrashed Joy and Rob's, Natalie's parents' room, to photograph Natalie's stunning gown number two and her accessories.  It was a haven of peace and tranquility compared to the hive of activity going on in the room where the girls were getting ready.  It was really nice chatting with Joy and Rob whilst we completed these photographs.  We loved Natalie's bouquet of white gerberas with black and yellow centres, studded with pink diamantes - a hint at the elegant black, white and pink colour scheme she had chosen.

Next we took the short trip across the hall the Chris's room to photograph him getting ready with best man Mark before heading off outside into the courtyard to spend some time with the boys together.

With the boys' shots taken care of, we returned to Natalie to find her almost ready for her descent down the staircase on the arm of proud dad Rob.  She looked just gorgeous!

Ian's lovely, personal blessing of Natalie and Chris's marriage and a slight hiccup with the unity candle which resulted in some giggles! 

Some very impressive confetti throwing!!





After we'd finished the group shots in the courtyard, we enjoyed a stroll with Natalie and Chris around the fabulous grounds of Hazlewood Castle, choosing a few locations for their pictures.  Hazlewood Castle is a wedding photographer's paradise, as well as a newly married couple's! 

A Private Dining photograph was really important to Natalie.  We were delighted to oblige.

The girls were up for some fun...

Beautiful Natalie in her beautiful gown!

With the photographs of the Great Hall set up for the wedding breakfast, the lovely little details captured and the before dinner speeches in the can, we left everyone to enjoy dinner.

One of our favourite parts of the day is after dinner when we can spend some time around the venue taking some romantic shots.  Natalie and Chris joined us outside, the sun had gone down, the wind had dropped and we spent a relaxed half hour with them creating some romantic images featuring the castle in the background.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Wilson for choosing us to capture your big day at one of the lovelist wedding venues in Yorkshire.  You were fantastic company and we had a fantastic day with you, your families and friends.  We look forward to designing your amazing storybook wedding album!

Rachel and Simon's wedding at Hazlewood Castle on Sunday, 11 April 2010

Rachel and Simon married in an intimate civil ceremony in the Victoria room witnessed by a few close family and friends, followed by a blessing in St Leonard's chapel, beautifully conducted by the Rev Ian Walton.  We have to mention what a wonderful man Ian is and he always does everything he can to help ensure that we get the best possible photographs during the ceremony.  We really appreciate his kindness. 

Rachel and Simon are a lovely, relaxed and easy going couple and they were a pleasure to work with.  They were more than happy to let us do our own thing regarding their photographs and having got the main group shots done, we spent some time with them around the grounds of Hazlewood Castle before it was time to go inside and photograph the Great Hall set up for the wedding breakfast.  After dinner, we headed outside again and one of the shots shows what happens when you invite firemen to your wedding!!  

Thank you Mr and Mrs Hill for choosing us to capture your fun filled wedding day.  It was a pleasure to be invited to join you and your family and friends.

Please send us an email - thank you

Gemma and Scott's wedding at Hazlewood Castle on 18 September 2009

Back at the beautiful location of Hazlewood Castle today for Gemma and Scott's big day. The couple married in a very informal civil ceremony in the Victoria room before separating again to prepare for their blessing in St Leonard's chapel, conducted by the wonderful Ian Walton who never disappoints when it comes to photography - what a lovely man he is! After the ceremony and with generous timings to play with, friendly guests and attendants who were up for fun, we managed to fit a lot into the time we had. Gemma and Scott had given us free rein to be as creative as we wanted when it came to their photographs and we had a brilliant time in their company. After the wedding breakfast and speeches, we took advantage of that very short period of time just before it gets dark to take some stunning evening shots of the couple in the courtyard. The sky in the images becomes an inky blue rather than black and the result is just gorgeous. Thank you Gemma and Scott for choosing us to share your special day.

Victoria and Andrew's wedding at Barwick in Elmet Church, Leeds and Hazlewood Castle on 4 September 2009

Our day started at Vicky's parents' house without Vicky, who was still at the hairdressers. Her beautiful gown and bouquet of the most gorgeous orchids resulted in some lovely images which we're sure she will treasure. After make-up and fastening the dress shots, we left for the church, arriving right on schedule, but there was no sign of Andrew and the guys as they were all getting some Dutch courage in the nearby Black Swan! Rain heralded Vicky's arrival with her dad, Roger and it continued throughout the ceremony so we decided to get the close family group photographs taken inside the church. Afterwards, there was a hasty exit from the church to the car and on to the reception venue but not without one arty shot of Vicky - even the rain wasn't going to prevent that! At Hazlewood Castle, the rain had eased a bit and we managed to secure some romantic images of Vicky and Andrew in the grounds before going inside to photograph the Great Hall set up for the wedding breakfast. After dinner and speeches, we were lucky that the rain had stopped and we were able to get everyone outside and on to the steps to take the big group shot which the couple really wanted, plus a shot of each side of the family. Making the most of the remaining daylight, the bridal party got into the spirit of the occasion for some fun shots - thanks guys, you were great sports! Back inside, Vicky and Andrew cut the cake and then went into their first dance to Jack Johnson. A perfect end to their perfect day was a fabulous firework display and some spectacular images. Thank you Vicky and Andrew for inviting us to share your wonderful day. Have a fabulous honeymoon!
