Wedding photography at the Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford for Lyndsey and Michael on 31 July 2010
As wedding photographers in West Yorkshire, it was a pleasure to photograph a wedding at another new venue and to tell Lyndsey and Michael's story as they tied the knot and celebrated with close family and friends at the Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
We caught up with a very chilled out Lyndsey who told us she was bored waiting around and had been ironing!!!! Now that's the first time we'd ever heard a bride say that - bored and ironing on your wedding morning??? It should be champagne and pampering!! We started off capturing images of Lyndsey's gorgeous dress, her jewellery and her perfume. Her shoes were her something blue and just lovely.
Michael's very cute nephew, stole the show during the guys' photo session.
We kept Michael and his brother and best man, Simon occupied for a short while to take Michael's mind off his pre-ceremony nerves.
We returned to Lyndsey's room in time to capture images as her dress was laced up. It was great to be joined by Alan Macmillan of Macmillan Films, a videographer from Northallerton who's services we highly recommend.
We left Lyndsey to her finishing touches and went to join a slightly nervous Michael in the Boardroom where the civil ceremony was to take place. He was the victim of a lot of leg pulling from his family about the fact the Lyndsey was late and they speculated that perhaps she'd changed her mind... Not a chance!
After a lovely ceremony and with showers forecast, we took the newly married Mr and Mrs Hill to the front entrance of the hotel for a few photographs before we started with the group shots. We got just over half way through the groups when the very fine drizzle we'd been ignoring turned into rain. However, ten minutes later it stopped and we were back outside. A big thank you must go to Michael's brothers, Nigel and Simon, who were an enormous help when it came to making the group photography session run smoothly and to all the guests who didn't object to a bit of drizzle!
Lyndsey and Michael were absolute stars, great fun to work with and we knew how important their wedding photographs were to them. They were happy to go along with anything we suggested to get beautiful images.
Lyndsey looked stunning...
After the wedding breakfast, bridesmaid Sammy had a surprise for Lyndsey and Michael - a couple of balloons for them the release. Wonder where they ended up?
Two pretty little flowergirls...
Our final job was to capture Lyndsey and Michael's first dance as husband and wife but we couldn't leave without taking a few shots of the duet the couple had hired - Fifth Avenue - who were incredible!
Our sincere thanks to Lyndsey and Michael and their lovely families for a fantastic day in great company. We had an amazing time and really enjoyed capturing your special day. Enjoy your honeymoon in Egypt!
