Wedding photography at Scaitcliffe Hall, Todmorden for Claire and Sam on 24 July 2010
This year has been fantastic for us as wedding photographers in West Yorkshire, with some interesting new venues and some amazing couples! Today we had the pleasure of working with Claire and Sam and capturing their civil ceremony and celebrations afterwards at Scaitcliffe Hall in Todmorden.
As Claire and Sam's wedding ceremony was scheduled for 3 pm, this meant a slightly later than usual start, so at lunch time we caught up with the girls who were all getting ready at the couple's home in Hebden Bridge. The name of Claire's perfume sums up her look perfectly!
Next we met up with Sam and best man Ben at Scaitcliffe Hall. Toastmaster Michael was a great help with making everything run smoothly, including fixing buttonholes and cravats as well as giving us a little bit of interesting history about the venue.
Claire's arrival in a 1950s Jaguar. She looked just beautiful and what a fabulous dress!
Following the ceremony and the small number of group shots requested by the couple, we made the most of the gorgeous architecture for backdrops for the new Mr and Mrs Johnson's pictures.
Claire and the girls, Lou, Ros, Michelle and Lauren - and a fit of giggles!
A bridal portrait with a difference which really suited Claire and her very individual style - stunning!
After dinner and speeches, we joined Claire and Sam inside Scaitcliffe Hall for some romantic shots on the lovely staircase.

Thank you Claire and Sam for a fantastic day. We hope you are enjoying your honeymoon and we look forward to working with you in the studio very soon for Claire's bridal boudior photography session.
