I have said this many times, but Walker Gate House is one of my favourite registry offices to photograph in. Tastefully decorated with large windows the room gives a nice light and airy feel to it. Another thing I love about weddings at The Walker Gate House is that couples tend to stay away from tradition and go off after to do something a little different, like a tipi in a family members back garden with hog roasts, pizza vans or just a local take away delivery! 

With this wedding of Codie & Johnny, the couple opted to have a casual hot buffet at The Potting Shed and no traditional seating which suited the fun loving couple perfectly, because they are both a little bit crazy... especially Codie. I can say that, because Codie, my best friend of over 15 years and also my second photographer at most weddings is most definitely the craziest person I have met and I know a formal meal just isn't her! 

Being able to photograph my best friends wedding and give her photographs to relive her special day, is special to me also... You know why? It's a gift that will last forever and passed down to their children, great children and maybe even great great children. 

​Here are some photographs anyways of this gorgeous day over the Jubilee Weekend in June 2022. 

​

Dunedin Country House is one of my favourite venues to photograph at. The Georgian /Victorina house is is the perfect setting for your wedding due to it's very picturesque landscape and the light and airy, yet warm interior with creams and golds.

Rebecca and James actually married on the Queens Jubilee, certainly a date to remember, 2nd June 2022. With a very excited bridesmaid who was eager to see " Queeny " on the TV before her bestie said " I do ". 

Dressed to impressed and looking flawless thanks to Victoria Senior Rebecca looked gorgeous and James didn't look to bad himself. 

The day went smoothly, the weather was beautiful, and the venue was dressed and looked stunning! 

Thank you Rebecca and James for booking me to capture your wedding day, I am sorry James I had to stand you in front of the camera millions of times, I know you loved it really.

 The big day arrived for the wedding of Sadie and James and what a fantastic day it was. We photographed their wedding on Saturday 23rd June, and the day kicked off at the Guild Hall followed by the reception at Butt Farm, in Beverly. The sun was shining with only a few clouds in the sky, the groom, the bride, the guests, everyone looked amazing. 

When we had previously met up with Sadie, Sadie had given us an envelope with a few items in, a stage plan, aka a table plan and a wrist band, then I realised this was a themed wedding. Another themed wedding! Yes! This was exciting. Sadie and James had a festival themed, rustic, TIPI wedding  lots of music, lots of fun, dancing, laughter and beer, oh and tents for the guests to sleep in! WOW!

So here are a few photo's from Saturdays wedding.

Each guest was given an envelope including their wrist bands to get into the couples festival themed wedding reception after the ceremony at the guild hall. 

After a few circles around the town, Sadie and her Dad arrived at the Guild Hall.

We love this! How cute are these two. James just picked Sadie up and gave her, her first kiss. Love is in the air!

After the ceremony, we stayed in the Guildhall to photograph some of the group photos and family photos with Grandparents and parents, along with siblings. We then spent a bit of time with just Sadie and James inside too.

We can't believe it's been a whole week since the wedding of Laura and James. What a beautiful day for such a lovely couple. We had only met the pair properly once, at the pre wedding meeting, a couple of weeks before the big day. We met at the church in Rise, where the ceremony was taking place. Samantha had previously met Laura at a mutual friends BBQ a year or so ago, but hadn't actually met Laura properly. 

During the pre wedding meeting, we got super excited for this couples wedding, and we was also a little surprised, and curious as to how she would go about her theme, which was.... DISNEY! Laura had mentioned to us that there would be lots of colourful flowers, that she crafted the wedding herself, so of course, we couldn't wait to see. 

On the day of the wedding, we arrived at 9:30am, not long after the MUA and hair stylist had arrived. Laura and her bridesmaids was all pretty calm, with a few old school songs, r'n'b music playing in the background. We instantly got to work after introducing ourselves, and took a little trip into the garage next to the house, where Laura's friend, a florist was in there, doing the final touches. After speaking to these ladies, we was told that they had these flowers especially flown in for Laura's big day and they had been there since Thursday, getting everything ready... and later, you will see why it took these ladies so long.... WOW is all I will say right now.

Pretty shoes, and a tractor. That's right, this girly is a farmer, and not the animal sort of famer, her family have a crop farm and as Laura had said during our pre wedding meeting, she would be arriving to the church in a..., well, have a guess...….

As part of the bridal preparations, we also get detailed photographs of shoes, dresses, flowers, gifts as well as candid photographs of the bridal party. 

Laura had got all three of her bridesmaids a lovely bracelet, with a charm, and a personlised bridesmaid cup, we think these are lovely keep sakes, especially those little bags!

We spent about 3.5 hours with the girls in the morning, because the marquee was on the brides doorstep, we did get to photograph the detailed shots inside there before the guests saw it all, which was great. It was like a photographers dream. It was perfect. 

IT'S WEDDING TIME! 
Laura's Dad, Steve was lovely, he made us feel welcomed even though we was there to do a job, and we could tell straight away how proud he was of his daughter Laura, as you could see Laura was of him too. 

We met up with the groomsmen in plenty of time before Laura and her Dad arrived at the church in Rise, Hull. James seemed pretty cool, and not to nervous, but we could tell her couldn't wait to see Laura. He was with his best man, but we shall just call him BEST MAN for now as we can't remember his name... sorry best man, if your reading this :)

Rustic setting for a farm wedding, it was just perfect. We spotted this barn when we arrived in the morning and straight away we suggested using it as a backdrop for some bride and groom photographs. We are glad we did as look how stunning these newly weds look, not to mention how happy, and in love they look!

Now we get to the creative bit that Laura had spent so much time planning and making, and we have to give it to her, she should really start up an event planning business. Everything was personlised, and it was just beautiful. Little touches on each table, on the bars, on the cake table, the lot. Credit to Laura for the wonderful venue decoration you made.
