Natalie & Jonathan, wedding | St. Nicholas Church, Bradfield and Whirlowbrook Hall

Friday, September 3, 2010 Posted in wedding

This was my second trip to Whirlowbrook Hall within a few weeks! No bad thing as it’s local and staff look after me :)

Natalie & Jonathan had chosen the very picturesque St.Nicholas Church in High Bradfield to get married, the church is high on a hillside with panoramic views over the North Sheffield countryside.

Whirlowbrook Hall is always a great place to shoot, the House is set in beautiful landscaped gardens so there’s plenty of choice when it comes to backgrounds.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day;

Helen & Jason, wedding | York Minster & Castle Howard

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 Posted in wedding

I was shooting with another photographer on this one, Ian Johnson, I shot the bridal preps and Ian shot the boys and we crossed over during the day.

The ceremony was at the fabulous York Minster, with an incredible choir, Jerusalem sent shivers down your spine! Champagne was then served in the Chapter House followed by the reception at Castle Howard. Just driving towards Castle Howard is breathtaking, it has to be one of the finest Stately homes in the UK.

It was a great day with a lot going on, here are a selection of my favourites from the day;

Anna & Jonathan, wedding | St.Mary’s Ecclesfield & Whirlowbrook Hall

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Posted in wedding

Anna and Jonathan were married at St.Mary’s church in Ecclesfield followed by the reception at Whirlowbrook Hall in South Sheffield.

This was a really local wedding for me, St.Mary’s church is just opposite my studio and Anna was getting ready half a mile away!

Anna’s choice of transport to get to the church was a horse and carriage, luckily the rain held off! Anna and Jonathan also left on the horse and carriage but changed to a fabulous Citroen DS to drive across the city.

At Whirlowbrook Hall there was a seaside theme which ran through the whole reception. There were beach games on the lawn, a candy floss stand and in the dining room they had place holders which were ‘Anna & Jonathan’ sticks of rock

Everyone seemed to have a great time and I even managed to get all the groups done…..between downpours!

I love working at Hodsock Priory, George, the owner is very easy to work with and on the day Linda and Ken make sure everything runs smoothly! And it looks fantastic!

Claire and Nathan had perfect weather so guests were able to enjoy the magnificent gardens. The day was extremely relaxed with everyone having a great time, which shows in the photo’s!

Louise & Theo, wedding | St.Peter’s, Edensor & Losehill House Hotel & Spa

Friday, July 2, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

Louise and Theo came up from London for a beautiful Peak District wedding.

I set off early to meet the boy’s at Losehill House Hotel & Spa where Theo was staying the night before and where the reception was being held. I got a few shots of them getting ready and a couple of more formal shots in the garden overlooking Win Hill, what an amazing backdrop!

Louise and the girls were getting ready in The Hunting Tower, right in the heart of the Chatsworth estate, again with fantastic views over Derbyshire and Chatsworth. The wedding ceremony itself was close by at St.Peter’s church in Edensor village which is part of the Chatsworth estate.

After the ceremony the guests enjoyed chilled Champagne at the back of the church before taking a sightseeing coach ride to the hotel.

It was a beautiful day for everyone to enjoy the panoramic views and canapes on the lawn before the wedding breakfast.

So quite a few great photo opportunities, here are a few of my favourites;
