July 13th 2008 - Wedding, Waterton Park Wakefield - Matthew and Ashley

Matthew and Ashley celebrated their wedding at Waterton park on Sunday. The guessers at the met office struck lucky and the days festivities were held under fluffy white clouds and  blue skies. Perfect wedding weather.

Catherine Added: I check out the blog every couple of weeks, so far I have not found a photo that I don’t like.  They are all outstanding.  I love the reflection of the bride and groom in the puddle photo and the one with the bride wearing wellies, fantastic way of making the most out of the weather.

I am so excited about you taking the photos for our wedding next year... I can’t wait to see what wonders you will come up with for ours.

July 12th 2008 - Wedding, All Saints Pontefract to Rogerthorpe Manor - Gary and Jeni

Gary and Jeni chose All Saints in Pontefract for their wedding ceremony before heading over to Rogerthrope for their wedding reception.

The weather held brilliantly and despite the best pessimistic guesswork of the met office everyone made it outside for drinks and photos.

All Saints Church is one of the best local churches for Photographs, the sand stone church has a rugged feel to the exterior whilst inside it's bright with plenty of space and now having shot plenty of weddings and built up a good level of trust, the vicar is excellent allowing me plenty of photo opportunities. There's almost a rant about non obliging vicars building so lets move onto some photos....

Jeni added: The photos are really amazing, we have just coming down from the high of the day and love every one of them, a lot of the guests on the day kept telling us how good you were, we'll certainly be recommending you to all our friends.

Shirley added: A very good day, you were very pleasant and very good

Julie added: Just had to say amazing!

July 7th 2008 - Wedding, Waterton Park Wakefield - Matt and Jessica

Matt and Jessica married on Monday at Waterton Park near Wakefield.

Jessica is originally from America where she and Matt first met, and although we all imagine the US to be bright and sunny her family assured me they were used to the wet weather on the day. Thankfully there was just enough respite for the photos, except the huge downpour which caught us under the arch near the waters edge. Thankfully the cameras are weather sealed!

Following the wedding breakfast guests were quickly back outside under clearer skies to take in the stunning views from the island and enjoy the evening Barbeque on the terrace outside Squires.

Shirley Added: So many fabulous photos thank you very much

Lauren Added: You're an amazing photographer - beautiful work! :)

Jessica Added: I would like to thank you for all your hard work! The photos were fantastic! You are very talented!

Tessa Added: We have viewed your photos and WOW!! Thanks again for helping to make the wedding so beautiful and FUN!  You really captured the feel of the event very well!

Zac added: Amazing photographs, thank you

July 5th 2008 - Wedding, Bagden Hall, Scissett - Richard and Kelly

Richard and Kelly were married Saturday in a civil ceremony at Bagden Hall near Scissett. On the morning of the wedding Kelly had surprised Richard with their car, instead the best man driving they were treated to an Aston Martin for the journey from Leeds.

As the ceremony loomed, so too did lots of dark ominous clouds. As the ceremony started the heavens opened and the thunder rumbled away, however just fifteen minutes later and, just in time for the bride and groom to walk down the aisle, the skies were clear blue allowing the drinks reception and all the photos to take place outside. Yippee!

July 4th 2008 - Wedding, Sykehouse Church to Mount Pleasant, Doncaster - John and Elizabeth

During John and Elizabeth's pre-wedding shoot earlier in the year it snowed, thankfully there was no such misfortune today (and being July you'd not really expect it!). The happy couple were married at Sykehouse Church near Askern before celebrating at the Mount Pleasant Hotel just south of Doncaster.

Having worked with John and Elizabeth before I knew the day would be good fun with plenty of photo opportunities....

Elizabeth Added: Fantastic photographs of the most amazing day. Thank you Chris. x
