Leah and Michael, Sneak Peek! September 21, 2009

Yesterday we photographed the gorgeous wedding of Leah and Michael.  Their whole wedding had a black and white theme, and all of their guests wore black and white to stick to the dress code.  The whole wedding was very classy and elegant and Leah and Michael both looked stunning.  See for yourselves:

Slideshow Videos September 1, 2009

As well as sneak peek images from weddings, we are going to start uploading slideshows of a selection of images from each wedding.  They won’t appear as soon after the wedding as the sneak peek as it requires us to have done all the final edits to the images before we can compile a slideshowbut it’s worth keeping an eye out to see them when they are posted.  It’s a bit of a new science to us at the moment but here are a few from recent weddings and the two Rock the Dress shoots we did earlier in the year with Vicky and Natalie.

Andrea and Steve / Chris and Clive Sneak Peek! August 26, 2009

On Sunday we photographed a beautiful, emotional and (for us) quite unusual wedding.  Andrea and Steve were married at Gisborough Hall, and then afterwards,  Andrea’s parents Christine and Clive re-took their wedding vows.   To say it was emotional is very much an understatement!  There was a huge focus on family all day, even the table cards were old photographs, which really put emphasis on Andrea and Steve’s family values.  We got some beautiful pictures on the day, so here are a few tasters, and there are a couple of Chris and Clive at the bottom too

Jenna and Lee, Sneak Peek! August 2, 2009

Yesterday we attended the wedding of Jenna and Lee, who married at the beautiful St Mary’s Church on Norton Green in Norton, and had their reception at Hotel Tall Trees in Yarm.  It was a really nice wedding, everyone was so happy and so relaxed – it was pouring down all morning and Jenna had a fairly long walk from the car to the church but didn’t get too fazed by the rain, nor the fact that her dress got oil on it later in the day.  She was calm and collected and relaxed all day, and both her and Lee looked fab and hopefully had a great day!  Here are some of our sneak peeks:

I love this picture of Jenna and Lee!

Jenna and Lee, we had a great time at your wedding, thank you so much for making us welcome!  All the best!

Zabby and Brian – Sneak Peek! July 19, 2009

It’s not very often that I post a sneak peek the same day as a wedding, especially not when it’s almost midnight and I’m shattered after a hot and long day, but I just couldn’t resist with these pictures. 

Today we attended the wedding of Zabby and Brian, and it was an absolutely fantastic wedding.  They are two of the nicest people we have ever met, and their wedding was so emotional.  When we had our pre wedding meeting with them earlier in the week, Zabby was convinced she’d cry during the ceremony, but these two cried almost all the way through and I was having to fight tears myself!

Anyway, after crying through the ceremony, they laughed almost all of the rest of the day and we got some great shots of them.  Here are a few sneak peeks!

You both looked absolutely gorgeous and so happy and thank you for being so great to work with and making us feel welcome as guests later on in the evening.

Moira and David, HMS Trincomalee, 04-07-09 July 7, 2009

It’s Summertime and, so far, this Summer looks promising weather-wise, unlike last year where half of our Summer weddings were rained out. We did our first wedding of the Summer on Saturday, and it was at the HMS Trincomalee in Hartlepool. It was the wedding of Moira and David who finally decided to get married after being together for years, and we had a great time. They were both lovely people, absolutely willing to pose for their pictures, totally relaxed and laid back…..brilliant!

Here are some pictures

Karen and Tim – Sneak Peek!! May 7, 2009

Karen and Tim were married on Saturday May 2nd at Emmanuel Church in Saltburn. The weather was beautiful and everyone seemed to spend the whole day in fits of laughter (ourselves included!) As you can see, Tim wanted a few pictures of his car for the album too so it featured in a few shots, much to the amusement of everyone else! Thanks to you both for inviting us to shoot your wedding.

Natalie and Robert, sneak peek! April 21, 2009

As promised here are some sneak peek pictures from Natalie and Robert’s beautiful wedding atSt Andrew’s Church in Eston and Rushpool Hall on 18th April.  I don’t think we’ve ever been to a wedding with such beautiful details, the attention paid to table centrepieces, flowers etc was amazing.  Natalie had a stunning dress and looked beautiful, although she did spend most of the day trying not to be blown away due to strong wind and a long veil!

Enjoy!

Update April 20, 2009

Well it’s been a busy few days for us. On Saturday we were at the lovely wedding of Natalie and Robert at St Andrew’s in Eston and Rushpool hall in Saltburn. I will get some sneak peek photos up soon, promise.

Yesterday we were at the wedding fayre at MM Banqueting and Conferencing Suites in Thornaby. It was pretty quiet, as I think most people were at the Tall Trees fayre but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great time meeting and chatting to some lovely brides and grooms to be!

Saturday was also our first wedding anniversary, which made working at a wedding the same day even more special, and this evening we have been out for a meal to celebrate.
