St Giles Church, Bramhope – Adele and Dez – Leeds Wedding Photography

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 00:21:05 +0000

At the weekend I met up with Adele and Dez at the Britannia Hotel in Leeds for their pre wedding shoot. They are getting married at St Giles Church just across the road from the Britannia hotel, where they are holding the reception. Little did I know that the grounds of the Britannia had a secret…..a very old stunning chapel! A superb place for photography which we took advantage of. Adele and Dez are a superb couple, with Dez being the ‘King of Chill’ we had some fun

Here are a few images……

Inside the chapel Dez gave us a sermon on how to chill!

I got them to do a bit of light excercise

Sarahjane and Ryan – Cedar Court Hotel, West Yorkshire – Wedding Photography

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 00:28:47 +0000

A little late in posting this….3rd July saw the wedding of a lovely couple Sarajane and Ryan. A week prior Sarajane and Ryan’s original photographer let them down with no excuse. I will admit it does amaze me how some people are willing to let people down on their wedding day…glad I’m not one of those people!

The ceremony took place at the lovely Catholic church St Francis of Assisi at Beeston, it was then onto to the Cedar Court Hotel at Bradford for the reception. The day went without a hitch, although to cut a long story short we were kindly fed at the reception but took the Priests dinner in the process !! This was a really fun wedding and I was grateful to be part of Sarajane and Ryan’s day.

Here are a few images….

Ryan looks like he is looking forward to his wedding day

Me being creative….

Shall I say stunning ?….yes I will, Sarahjane looks stunning…

Love this shot a very special moment…..

On to one of my favorite parts of the day…the speeches!

Then onto the first dance

One of my favorite shots of the day.

So Saturday July 10th saw the wedding of Tracy and Graeme at Healds Hall Hotel. I have been working with Tracy and Graeme since the beginning of the year to plan their wedding photography and was grateful to be part of their special day. The forecast at the beginning of the week said ‘heavy’ rain for Saturday, so I performed my magical sun dance and viola….no rain just pure heat! The day went perfectly, the venue was lovely and everyone had a great time. I wish Tracy and Graeme a happy time when they go on their honeymoon in Egypt, (I did ask if their was space in their suitcase….well there’s no harm in trying!) and thank them for a great day.

Enough waffle here are a few images from the day…….

Tolu and Michael – The Monastery, Gorton, Manchester – Wedding Photography

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 01:05:10 +0000

On Easter Saturday I had the privilege of helping friend and talented fellow photographer, Richard Mather, with a wedding held at The Monastery, Gorton in Manchester. I love shooting weddings, even it means being a 2nd shooter at a wedding (photography term, nothing to do with guns!)…this one was no exception. The venue is perfect for hosting a wedding, a huge almost cathedral like building that has had a massive multi-million pound make over. We were well looked after by the staff at The Monastery who made sure we to felt welcome.

When Richard asked me to help 2nd shoot at The Monastery I immediately checked out the venue website and the weather (something you check regularly as a wedding photographer). It was forecast rain, rain and you guessed it rain! But my sun dance the day before seemed to work as the rain held off and we actually had sunshine! In-conjunction with the weather the days events ran flawlessly. A wedding with two cultures, English and Nigerian, made for a beautiful wedding to photograph, the colours, food, superb Nigerian music and dancing made for a great day where everyone had a blast!

Enough of me reminissing about the day, here are a few of the images……

Now that’s a church….or in this case a Monastery.

No sign of nerves here…

Love this photo…a prayer before the big moment.

The beautiful Tolu has arrived

Love this next series of images, a gorgeous couple!

Onto the first dance….

The party then got started…..

Now don’t try this at home…..
