Anna & Paul | …& Counting | Pre-Wedding Photography

We met up with Anna and Paul yesterday for their pre-wedding shoot on a rather chilly but prettily lit morning.  Anna and Paul are a very sweet and affectionate couple and it was a real pleasure to take these photographs in preparation for their wedding at Sheffield Botanical Gardens next month – and they were real troopers despite the cold!

I’m hoping this gorgeous blossom manages to hang around for a bit longer, but as usual the wind may end up chasing it away all too soon…

Karen & Nick | …& Counting | April 2010

Last weekend we had the pleasure of meeting up with Karen and Nick for their pre-wedding shoot.  Their wedding in June at Woodthorpe Hall promises to be a gorgeous affair, starting with the couple themselves, who were the perfect models.  We had a lovely time taking shots in the spring sunshine and discussing their wedding plans back at our showroom.  We hope you enjoy your pre-wedding photographs, and we can’t wait to photograph your wedding!

Catherine & Joe | Spring Wedding at Ringwood Hall | Sneak Preview

Yesterday Erica and I had the pleasure of photographing Catherine & Joe’s beautiful wedding at Ringwood Hall, and we just couldn’t wait to post this sneak preview. It really doesn’t get any better for us than when we get to photograph the most special day of two very special people, in a lovely venue, and in the most perfect light possible. As usual, there’ll be a lot more to follow (in fact there are too many to choose from!) but for now we just wanted to post these two photos of when we went out to take advantage of the early evening glow- I could stare at these photos all day long! Thanks Catherine and Joe for being so easy and fun to work with- we’ll see you soon!

You & Your Wedding Magazine | Featured!

YYWWe’ve known about this for quite some time but wanted to save the news until today….today is the day that the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Bride’s ‘You & Your Wedding’ magazine hits the shelves. Why is that particularly important to us? Well, turn to page 66 of the latest issue and you’ll find 4 pages of our photographs from Francesca & David’s lovely wedding at Cranford Hall last year. Miranda, the editor of Cosmo Bride and You & Your Wedding approached us a few months ago having seen our photographs, and asked if they could run a ‘Real Wedding’ Feature using our photos…and the rest is history, as they say! Thanks again to Fran and David for the information they provided to Miranda for the write-up. Here it is, beginning with us getting the header image on the contents page!
