Richard and Sharon married at Hodsock Priory near Blyth yesterday. A civil ceremony in the drawing room was followed by a drinks reception and canapés in the library and bar. The weather sadly put paid to any plans of using the excellent grounds around the Priory and so photos were shot indoors around the various rooms and staircase.

As a professional Chef, Richard was involved in the food planning, including their excellent choice of wedding cake, a hug selection of choclates, pastries and dipped fruit - see pics below.

The couple and the guests rounded off their evening dancing the night away to a band in the newly completed pavillions.

A portrait session in Pontefract on Wednesday with Thomas and his parents, at just three months Thomas was very responsive with plenty of smiles along the way. The session lasted just under one hour and allowed a number of combinations of poses and dress. Thomas was a star throughout.

A trip north on Tuesday for a mid week wedding for Kirsty and Richard at the Coniston Hall Hotel, Coniston Cold near Skipton. The hotel is set on the edge of the Dales and offers stunning views across a large lake to the hills beyond. Following their civil ceremony and drinks reception we braved the wilds and headed out for photos utilising the stunning backdrops.

Sarah and Richard were married last week in Cuba and celebrated their wedding with family and friends on Sunday evening with a reception at Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa near Leeds. Following a few formal family photographs we made our way around the hotel to take photos of Richard and Sarah before their guests arrived.

Images from their package photographer in Cuba will be combined with photos from Thorpe Park to produce a Story Book of their wedding.

March 21st Pre-wedding Shoot Mount Pleasant Hotel Doncaster - John and Elizabeth

John and Elizabeth will be married later in the year and holding their wedding reception at the Mount Pleasant Hotel near Doncaster. It was here that we met up on a cold and snowy Sunday morning for a pre-wedding shoot and an opportunity to plan their wedding photos.

The grounds at the rear of Mount Pleasant was covered in a crust of snow and lended itself wonderfully to the pre-wedding shoot.

Four seasons in one day kind of sums up the weather for James and Lucy's wedding on Saturday. Leaving from home near Goole for their wedding in Snaith, it was snowing sideways as I arrived at Lucy's house for the prep photos! A 10 AM ceremony at Snaith Methodist Church was followed by an afternoon drinks reception at Oulton Hall near Leeds, where shortly after arriving the sun began to shine.

James and Lucy had planned things a little differently with a drinks reception and buffet in the afternoon followed by a later drinks reception and the traditional wedding breakfast in the evening. The plan worked brilliantly and allowed all their guests a really relaxed day. Even the best man whose speech wasn't until nearly nine thirty in the evening!

Lucy added - many thanks for your amazing efforts on Saturday, we are thrilled with the results and your hard work really did pay off!
We are already having discussions about which photos to choose for album, so many fantastic ones to choose from!

Mr and Mrs Paragreen added - Excellent Photos - well done

Almost two years after originally booking me, I met up with Louise and Richard again at Aldwark Manor for a pre-wedding photo shoot. A sharp shower meant the first half of the shoot was held indoors before we managed to break out for some outdoor shots.

Helen and Andy will be marrying later next month at Monk Fryston Hall near Selby and so with their wedding looming large we met up for a pre-wedding planning meeting and photo shoot at Newmillerdam.

A Saturday without a wedding is quite a rarity and so full use was made of the time with a number of pre-wedding meetings, a pre-wedding shoot and portrait session.

The outcome of the morning portrait session at Newmillerdam is to be a gift for Gran. Although long coats were the order of the day the threatening rain held off long enough for Mandy, Amy, Katie and Emma to have a number of group and individual images. Vouchers and further details of portrait sessions can be found on the portraits page.

Kieran and Lynne were married on Saturday in a civil ceremony at Whitley Hall on the outskirts of Sheffield. The weather thankfully held just long enough after their ceremony to rattle off the photos of both the couple and the guests before we quickly retreated back indoors. The cosy and intimate nature of Whitley Hall allowing plenty of photo opportunities inside and out.

Following the wedding breakfast a quick turn around of the room allowed us some time to head upstairs for some more relaxed 'speeches over' with photos before Kieran and Lynne were back in the thick of it to cut their cake and their first dance.

Sarah and Richard are actually marrying in Cuba in the next week, but will be holding a reception for family and friends at Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa at the end of the month. The pre-wedding shoot has enabled the couple to have a signing board at the evening reception where those not lucky enough to attend the wedding in Cuba can still leave their good will messages.

Sarah and Richard will be combining their wedding images from Cuba (sadly taken by a photographer from the tour operator) with images from the pre-wedding shoot and those I'll be taking on the night at Thorpe Park to produce a Graphistudio Story book.

After booking nearly two years ago it was good to catch up with Kelly and Ian again (along with a much bigger Bradley) for a family pre-wedding shoot at Newmillerdam near Wakefield. Kelly and Ian will be married next month in Castleford with their wedding reception at Bagden Hall in Scissett.

Following both bride and groom preparations at Hazelwood Castle, Simon and Sarah were married Saturday at St Mary's church in Tadcaster. Although a little breezy the weather was thankfully a massive improvement on the previous days storms and heavy rain.

Following the ceremony Simon, Sarah  and their guests returned to Hazelwood where singer Shane Hamill was on hand to provide entertainment in the Flemish Hall during the drinks reception and later during the wedding breakfast in the Great Hall.

During the drinks reception Simon and Sarah took a stroll around Hazelwood Castle's grounds allowing some quiet time together (well if you include a photographer and videographer that is!).

Simons and Sarah were lucky to have a great team of Bridesmaids and Ushers to support them on their day and although the ushers did their best to embarrass and wind them up (Swapping the wedding suit in Simons bag for a rat costume and unveiling a life size cut out of Sarah dressed as Little Britain character Vicky pollard on the Hen do were just some of their antics).

The couple have now escaped the melé with a relaxing honeymoon, enjoy!

Sarah Added: - e are both over the moon with them.  We had a fantastic day and i think the photos reflect this.  You were very professional and we can't thank you enough

Carol (Sarah's mum) Added: - I just wanted to thank you for the brilliant job you did yesterday for Sarah and Simon's wedding. It was an absolute pleasure to have such a professional taking the photographs. You made it a special time for all of us.

Michael Added: You did a great job! Hardly knew you were there.

Rachel Added: Amazing work, really well captured, just love the photos.
