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!

Rachel and Matthew's wedding at St Mary's church, Swillington and Chevin Country Park Hotel - 8 August 2009

Today we were delighted to share Rachel and Matt's special day which began at Rachel's parents' house where everything was unusually quiet for the morning of a wedding. We were greeted by Rachel's dad who had been left in charge whilst the girls were at the hairdressers. We were just finishing off the photographs of Rachel's accessories when the girls arrived back ready for make-up and getting dressed. It was important to Rachel to have some "ready" photographs before we had to leave for the church and it was a pleasure for us to be able to oblige. Next it was on to Swillington church where we met up with Matt and his brothers, Darren and David for the guy shots. Rachel arrived looking absolutely stunning and following a lovely ceremony, congratulations from family and friends, a few family group shots and confetti throwing, it was off to Chevin Country Park Hotel in Otley to celebrate. Whilst we were waiting for all the guests to arrive, we spent the time with Rachel and Matt taking some couple shots, some of which featured a very special sports car - Matt's! He was, not surprisingly, really enthusiastic about these photographs! Rachel's nine year old nephew, Lewis, stole the after dinner show with a fantastic, surprise speech which had everyone in stitches. Well done, Lewis - you were a star! Whilst everyone was eating, we found a "wow" location inside the hotel which we earmarked for some special, after dinner portraits of Rachel. After a few romantic photographs of the couple together and a walk around the lake with them, we rounded off the story of a fabulous day with photographs of the first dance. Thank you Rachel and Matt for being a joy to work with and for allowing us the extra time to produce some beautiful, creative images for you. We had the most enjoyable day and we hope you are having a wonderful honeymoon in America.

Claire and Neil were married at The Woodlands Hotel in Gildersome, Leeds. Although is was cool and breezy, the rain stayed away and a fantastic day was had by everyone. The Woodlands Hotel has a stunning canvas on one of the walls which made an amazing backdrop for some beautiful, romantic images of the newlyweds. Thank you Claire and Neil for choosing us as your photographers and for your kind comments which sum up what we are about much better than we ever could.

"Words cannot describe how we feel about our wedding photographs... They are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for being there to capture the highlights of the happiest day of our lives. You both worked so hard all day and into the night, and we felt totally relaxed working with you. We especially like your attention to detail - and the fact that you really do care and put unlimited effort into everything you do. We felt so special and on top of the world and it really showed. Everyone looked stunning. The day was perfect and we enjoyed every second of it. Thank you both so much - we can't wait to see the finished album and it will be a very precious memento that we will treasure forever."
