Claire and Dan's wedding at St Andrew's church, Ferrybridge and the Hotel St Pierre - 1 August 2009










Claire and Dan married at St Andrew's church in Ferrybridge. Their lovely vicar allowed us to capture images from their ceremony and even helped us to organise the big group shot of everyone inside the church afterwards, as rain prevented this from being taken outside. After the ceremony and some very impressive confetti throwing, it was off to Queen's Park in Castleford for Claire and Dan's photographs with their beautiful car and as the whole bridal party joined us, this was a brilliant opportunity to get some fun shots. Claire looked beautiful and the gorgeous colour scheme she chose looks fantastic in the photographs (was it fuchsia pink or raspberry?!) After everyone else left to head off to the Hotel St Pierre in Newmillerdam for the reception, we were left alone with Claire and Dan for a while and we made the most of this time to create some romantic images for them. After dinner and speeches, it was off to the lakeside at Newmillerdam for some special couple photographs and bridal portraits. This had been planned weeks before but on the wedding day, the weather wasn't good. However, these images were really important to Claire who wasn't going to be put off, changing into her comfy flip-flips for the walk along the path to our chosen spot beside the lake where we were joined by a few very puzzled ducks! Claire and Dan - you were absolute stars and we hope that the images we got were well worth getting soggy feet for! The finale to this great couple's fun wedding day was a fantastic first dance routine which they choreographed themselves. Everyone was well impressed - us included! Thank you Claire and Dan for inviting us to share your fun filled day!
