Jonathan & Shelly at St Cuthberts church, Marton

Jonathan and shelly’s special day was booked at St Cuthberts Church, Marton. A very quaint little church for its

surroundings.  Shelly arrived in a big old car from a touch of classic cars. It was nice to work with Tony from a touch of classic cars too, I have worked on and off with him for the past three years, but its always nice to see a friendly face.





I arrived a little early and had to stop myself from taking some pic of the collared doves sat on the gravestones around the church. Given my wildlife side of my profession.

Soon into my flow and capturing the guests as they arrived and its really nice to be able to take images through the cereomeny, something we can't always do.

We did the group shots back at the Sporting lodge where the tables where set for a magical night.

Shelly and Jonathan looked very smart and really deserved a really lovely day.

Michael & Sharon at Hardwick Hall, Sedgefield.

We knew this wedding was going to a fun one, the pre wedding shoot we did with Michael and Sharon was enough to set the scene.

 



 

 

 

The venue was fantastic and really made the day, giving us plenty of chance to get those cheeky shots ;) especially as the guests seemed to be up for anything too. The six hours we where booked for seemed to pass in an instant.

 

The chance to produce something a little different was well appreciated, hence the we got chance to try some camera trickery…….. although I think Michael already knows his place………… :)

 

 

 

Jonathan & Dawn - Gisborough Hall

First wedding of three this week, Jonathan and Dawn where the first to book us when we moved studio toRedcarhigh street, way back in September.

Rainy days aren’t always the best for

 

a wedding but someone must have been smiling on these two, once the ceremony had finished in St Nichols church the sun shone enough to visit Guisborough historic priory for some images before heading to Gisborough Hall for the reception and family photos.

 

 

As if it was timed perfect we had managed to get all the family images and some of the happy couple just before the heavens opened again…… this is meant to be August right?

A first for us was the bouncy castle, something we had never had chance to cover at other weddings and if anyone is thinking of planning their wedding GET A BOUNCY CASTLE… how much fun did the kids have and yes of course we managed to persuade Jonathan and Dawn to have a go to, not the easiest things to do in a wedding dress………. You can’t tell me they didn’t enjoy it :)

Sneaton Castle wedding Fair behind the scenes

Andrew & Leighanne's wedding in Eston, Middlesbrough.

We where lucky with the weather today! After the weeks of changeable weather, today was bright glorious sunshine. But man was it cold!

Andrew and Leighanne booked us to do their wedding only a few weeks ago, only to find out that though Facebook Andrew was Gari’s cousin. Gari is one of my best mates and a fantastic singer!

So it felt strange to be doing a wedding for someone who I knew so well yet he didn’t even know I was going to be there.

This was our first wedding in South Bank and although the church looked normal from the outside when you went in the interior was stunning. Which made for some good back drops.

Andrew and Leighanne followed in a family tradition of having their wedding portrait taken outside the church in this very same spot as their parents and grand parents had previously.

Both Ruth and I wish them both the very best for the future.

Kirsty at the new Discovery Photography studio in Redcar

Kirsty emailed me through facebook asking if I would do a pregnancy shoot with her as she is due any month now!

Well due to work commitments I couldn’t do the shoot till after hours, we met at the studio just after five, which I think made her feel a little more relaxed, it isn’t easy doing a shoot like this even for a model.

She particually asked for some nice black and white low light images and after i had nearly killed her trying to chage the background and tripping over  my studio dog(wilf)  we shot for about on hour and here some of the results.

Michael & Rachael's wedding in Guisborough

Another wedding and our first in Guisborough, Michael and Rachael live just round the corner front the church and originally booked us quiet a while ago. Finally the day came when they tied the knot.

The weather been early autumn was very changeable and we had to keep ducking in and out of the church as the showers passed by! But once they had passed the light was truly amazing strong winter sunlight.

Heading out via Newton-Under- Roseberry we called to do some images with Roseberry Topping in the background, the blue skies made the shot worth getting and Rachael getting her dress dirty too!

Back at the Wainstones Hotel we took the family traditional shots and although we did these the images on this blog are 100% natural and un-posed! I’m sure Rachael and Michael have modelled before but not told us.
