Wedding Photographers at the King's Croft, Pontefract

Wedding photography at the King's Croft Hotel, Pontefract for Adele and Peter on 31 August 2010

As wedding photographers in West Yorkshire, the King's Croft is one of our local wedding venues and today it was a pleasure to join Adele and Peter as they tied the knot.

We met up with Adele and were greeted by a hive of activity with a lot of people going about their preparations.  Adele had chosen a wedding gown to cause a stir - it was some impressive dress!  There were no flowers because Adele isn't keen on them, so instead, she chose a bouquet made entirely of clear and black crystals which complimented the very elegant black and white colour scheme perfectly.

This was the first wedding we have ever photographed where, due to his commitments, we had not met the groom before the day and as we hadn't had the opportunity to get to know Peter beforehand, we were aware that we needed to help him to quickly feel relaxed and confident with us.  We needn't have worried, as Peter was an absolute pleasure to spend time with, very quickly getting into the swing of things and really enjoying his photo session. 

Adele and Peter's wedding plans hadn't exactly gone smoothly.  However, they couldn't have wished for a better day or better weather, so maybe it was meant to be.  As well as it being their wedding day, it was also very much about their two fantastic sons, with the focus of the day being very firmly on family.  Adele and Peter are an amazing couple and it's so obvious how devoted they are to eachother and to their boys.

Adele and Peter were married in a very personal civil ceremony in the Queen's Suite, beautifully conducted by the lovely Rosalyn Field who we love working with.  She does make a wedding ceremony very special.

A lucky chimney sweep greets the newly married couple.

After the group shots were in the bag, we took Adele and the rest of the girls for some fun.  The girls were really up for playing to the camera and as Pontefract wedding photographers who love a happy, relaxed wedding, this was something we really enjoyed.  You lot made us laugh!

After the wedding breakfast and the speeches, we made the most of the warm summer evening to have some fun with Adele and got her to really show off that stunning dress!

  

The new Mr and Mrs Middleton took to the floor for a fast and lively first dance - the first of four!  One for themselves, one for each of their boys and one for the Adele and the girls.  A wonderful wedding full of fun, love, laughter and the importance of family.  Congratulations to you both and a big thank you for allowing us the privilege of being there to capture your celebrations.

If you are family or friends of Adele and Peter, please leave a nice comment for them.

Wedding Photographer Rogerthorpe Manor

Wedding photography at Rogerthorpe Manor for Rachel and Todd on 8 August 2010

Our second wedding of the weekend saw a big improvement in the weather for the marriage of Rachel and Todd.  As Rogerthorpe Manor wedding photographers we always enjoy photographing weddings there.  With a great couple, a lovely venue and perfect photography weather, we knew we were going to have a fabulous day.

As wedding photographers in Castleford, we are literally two minutes away from Rachel and Todd's house, so we didn't have far to travel to meet up with Rachel, her bridesmaids and her mum Elaine to document Rachel getting ready before we set off for Rogerthorpe Manor in Badsworth to take Todd's mind off his pre-wedding jitters!  He looked very smart in his navy uniform.

We were delighted when we found out that Jane Milner from Pontefract was the registrar who would be marrying Rachel and Todd.  A free reign to photograph the ceremony as we wanted to get the best pictures for the couple is something Jane very generously allows and we and the couples she marries always appreciate her kindness.

Following the ceremony, the guests enjoyed champagne and canapes on the lawn.  The weather was kind and the large number of guests worked with us to get Rachel and Todd's group photographs done quickly and smoothly, leaving plenty of time for the newly married couple's photographs together and some fun with the bridal party.

Rachel had chosen a gorgeous ice blue colour scheme and the wedding breakfast room looked absolutely stunning!  The detail on the wedding cake was beautiful.

As the guests sat down for dinner, we were treated to a Sunday carvery in the Jacobean pub adjoining Rogethorpe Manor.  It was delicious!  Thank you Rachel and Todd for arranging this for us.

After the speeches, the couple joined us for some relaxed and romantic photographs together, enjoyed the company of their guests and made the most of the late summer sunshine.

A casino is a great idea to entertain the guests in the evening.

Rachel and Todd didn't have a dance routine, but Todd spontaneously lifting Rachel and spinning her round made for some great shots!

Thank you Mr and Mrs Barry for inviting us to share your wedding day and for being such a pleasure to work with.  We had an wonderful day with you all and we are very excited about designing your Italian storybook wedding album.
