Married in the village church at Barwick in Elmet, Dale and Sophie chose Holdsworth House in Halifax for their wedding reception. A quick trip along the M62 to Holdsworth House left behind blue skies and our arrival was greeted with a rain shower! Dodging showers for the photographs outside even resulted in some sunshine before the guests moved inside for the wedding breakfast.

A live band in the evening were joined by a surprise for the groom in the shape of a Michael Jackson tribute act.

The busiest week of the year continues with Paul and Laura's wedding at Carlton church in Pontefract before moving onto Walton Hall at Waterton Park.

Darren and Sarah were married yesterday at The church of Jesus Christ and latter day saints in Horbury before moving onto Rogerthorpe manor for their wedding reception.

They say its tradition for the bride to arrive late and as no surprise to those who know her, Sarah did just that, albeit forty minutes late (Talk about making the groom sweat! - atleast he'll never need an excuse for being late home from the pub).

With our arrival at Rogerthrope Manor  running slightly behind schedule we split the photo session to shoot the formal groups before the meal  so the guests could still sit down at the agreed time I met up again with Darren and Sarah following the meal to take photographs of just the two of them.

A trip to Washington (sadly the one in Tyne and Wear and not the US!) on Saturday for the wedding of Matthew and Danielle at Holy Trinity church.

With their wedding fast approaching I met up with Neil and Emma at Walton Hall at Waterton Park Thursday evening for a pre-wedding photo shoot (Details here). The pre-wedding shoot is a great way of building confidence and a rapport which on the big day helps ensure your photos are more relaxed and natural.

Fantastic weather this afternoon helped ensure we made the most of Bretton Country Park for today's portrait session. With a three year old and six month old baby to entertain, the park provided plenty of distractions and of course great locations.

Elliott and Sarah were married yesterday in a civil ceremony at Hazelwood Castle near York. Following their ceremony the couple enjoyed a blessing in the Chapel of St Leonard's adjacent to the castle.

Elliott, his groomsmen and brothers had arrived at Hazelwood Castle earlier in the day in a replica A Team van whilst Sarah opted for a more traditional arrival in a classic open top Beauford.

Following their blessing the couple and family and friends gathered on the steps at the front of the castle for photos where Sarah (a mounted police officer) was surprised to see two of her colleagues on horseback to provide  a guard of honour for the group photos. All went well until Sarah posed with the horses, at this point one of the pair took a  liking to the bridal bouquet. (It's amazing how fast a horse can eat Roses!)

Following photos around the excellent grounds of Hazelwood Castle, The couple returned to their guests for relaxed drinks and canopies  before their wedding breakfast.

The met men did their best to thwart today's plans, however a brief spell of rain quickly passed allowing us to make full use of the island at Walton Hall, Waterton Park.

The busiest wedding fortnight of the year continues with Stephen and Bekki's wedding at, Walton Hall at Waterton Park Wakefield. Following their civil ceremony the bride and groom and their guests made their way to the island for drinks and photographs. Following the wedding breakfast everyone was quickly back outside to enjoy the summer sun making the most of the Squires bar terrace during the evening reception.

Married in a civil ceremony in the Kings Suite at Kings Croft Pontefract, Rod and Rachel were quickly whisked away in their white Rolls for a short relaxing drive before returning for photos and drinks on the lawn.
