Marrying on Saturday in a civil ceremony at Oulton Hall near Rothwell in Leeds, Geoff and Anita broke with tradition to walk down the aisle together before enjoying a relaxed and informal drinks reception (and some photos!) before their wedding breakfast was served in the Repton Room. 

The evening reception saw the wedding party move to the Blaydes bar where the couple and guests danced the night away

Amended Monday October 1st - Following their wedding on Saturday the proofs went online today. Anita sent the following email this morning.

We have just been looking at the photos on line. They are fabulous, thank you so much – you are very talented and so brilliant with the guests and children in making them relax for the photos. Every one of the guests commented on how good you were and how the photography became a feature of the day instead of a chore that they have found at some events.

The photos are all we would want and more.  We cant thank you enough. 

Married on Saturday in Wakefield Roger and Joy chose Newmillerdam as a wedding photo location before making their way to the reception at nearby St Pierre Hotel.

Following a busy day at the Hodsock Priory wedding fayre I called in at Yvonne and Dan's for a pre-wedding portrait shoot. With a young daughter we decided that it would be ideal to shoot indoors against a white backdrop. Yvonne and Dan marry later next month at Hellaby Hall.

Gavin and Victoria married at Castleford Methodist Church before making their way to Wentbridge House Hotel for their wedding breakfast and evening reception. Drinks were served out on the lawn where a steel band were also playing to entertain the guests.

Terence and Natalie were married in a civil ceremony on Friday at Healds Hall Hotel in Liversegde.

Alan and David were made civil partners yesterday at a civil ceremony at The Bluebell in Dodworth near Barnsley. Following their ceremony the guests and Alan and David made their way outside for drinks and  relaxed photos.

After the speeches, David (a singer on the club circuit) sang to Alan and the guests before everyone was entertained with a short video the guys had made. Another first during the evening reception was a first dance with all the wedding guests taking part to celebrate the day.

Marrying in December this year I caught up with Melanie and Richard at Oulton Hall near Leeds yesterday evening for a pre-wedding photo shoot. (Pre-wedding shoot details here)

With fantastic weather and blue skies everywhere today's portrait session made the most of the good weather using Lotherton Hall near Leeds as the setting.

An indoor session for Mia at her home in Kippax. Plenty of coaxing and even bribery from mum and dad helped ensure plenty of images.

Following their pre-wedding shoot just a few weeks ago it was good to catch up with Neil and Emma again at Walton Hall, Waterton Park, this time though for the real thing.

Following the civil ceremony, excellent wedding weather allowed everyone time on the island for photographs and drinks.

Emma chose a fantastic Ian Stuart wedding dress and with both the bride and groom working for Frank Bird menswear in Wakefield the guys couldn't fail to be anything but smart.

Dan and Melanie married at Christchurch South Ossett before taking a short hop down the M1 to Brooklands Hotel in Barnsley. The architecture and layout of Brooklands lends itself excellently to shooting indoors so following a few formal photos at the church we were quickly putting some of the hotels features to good use as backdrops to the photos of the happy couple.

A surprise for Dan in the evening took the form of a pair of casino tables offering Roulette and Blackjack. Guests were also able to take advantage of the opportunity for portrait photographs during the evening within the mobile studio offered within the wedding packages.

Marrying in December this year I met up with Helen and Richard at Hodsock Priory for their pre-wedding photo shot (details of pre-wedding shoots here). Following a chat and talk through style of photography at their wedding we headed out onto Hodsock Priory's excellent grounds to take some posed and some fun photographs.

The final wedding of the week saw Nick and Gaynor marry at Wentbridge House Hotel on Sunday. Following their civil ceremony the couple and their guests enjoyed drinks and photos on Wentbridge's excellent lawn before the wedding breakfast.

Under gin clear blue skies, Lee and Sally were married on Saturday at Christ Church, South Ossett before moving onto the Garforth Holiday Inn.
