David and Sue

The final wedding of the year for me was Sue and David at Wentbridge House Hotel.

Set in a beautiful little village in South Yorkshire, the hotel allowed them the house and grounds to themselves in which to entertain their guests and celebrate their wedding in style.

I got there in time to catch Sue's preparations with her bridesmaids and family, and I was there to follow the ceremony right through to the start of their meal.

Elegance and smartness were the order of the day, but David is rarely one to be too serious for a long time, and there were giggles and roars of laughter throughout the ceremony. Following the golden rule of weddings, they made the day reflect them as a couple, welcoming everyone along for the celebration.


We devoted some time to getting family photos with Sue's father Bill, and I'm very glad to have been able to photograph him walking his daughter down the aisle, as sadly he passed away a few days after the wedding.

This has made me realise how important the apparently simple act of capturing memories with a camera can be. It's an honour to be able to do this for such lovely people.

Carly and Liam's Wedding

Carly and Liam came to me last summer, recommended by a friend, and so I was delighted to accept the opportunity to photograph their wedding. The year passed very quickly, and after our final planning session at the end of June, the 4th of August arrived almost before we knew it, and we all found ourselves at the Campanile Hotel in Bradford ready for them to tie the knot. It was a lovely relaxed and happy day, full of extended family and friends. Just the way weddings should be!
