Yet another wedding, we seem to have done really well this year so far, this one was a little different. Rachel had arranged to arrange at the church in a mini traction engine and the reception was at Danby Castle. She had also bought turquoise wellies and umbrellas just in case the weather turned nasty.
They where just begging for a shot, after covering the formal shots we broke out the wellies and umbrellas. This is something I had been waiting to take since Rachel mentioned it in when I first met her and James!

Liam & Katie wedding day
Liam & Katie seem to have booked me ages ago to cover their wedding, yet it appeared in the diary very quickly.
This was my first at Guisborough hall, and my assistant and second photographer seem to have been pulled away with other commitments so I was left one my own. I don’t mind this, but after a while working in a team its hard to adjust to cover everything yourself.
I seemed to manage and listening to the feed back from the guest everything was just perfect for them!
It was a fun wedding to cover with plenty of friendly banter between the guest and myself, which lead to a creation of the Liam fountain ( purely for this blog I may add not a pro photo for the album !)

Karen & John wedding day
I first met and Jon whilst in redcar high street, during a creative market. They approached me about capturing their special day for them and how they had brought it forward because of Karen’s mum been ill.
With everything in place the big day came. The weather wasn’t the best, it kept raining and the wind was so strong. However we weren’t going to be beaten. After Karen’s house we headed to the church, to arrive just before the bride. Karen looked stunning as she walked down the isle, only thing was I wasn’t expecting the flower girls to keep on walking and they practically walked straight up to the front of my camera!
Mid-service, while looking through my camera I took a step forward to take an image only to hit my elbow on the lectern, OOUUCCHH, it hurt. I am sure Karen laughed at this point!
Outside the church the weather had dried up but it was still blowing a gale so we decided to head back to the Starting Gate for the reception, there we would do the formal shots best we could.
This has got to be one of the tightest group shots I have had to do and I think it came out just perfect! Karen’s mum passed away a few weeks before the wedding but I am sure she will have been looking down and would be proud of the day. May I wish John and Karen all the very best for the future.

Adie & Pam Danby Castle
Danby castle is a wonderful venue when the weathers right and upon arriving there on Saturday morning the cloud seemed set in with the wind blowing too.
Adie had already arrived in a fantastic Daimler, just as Pam was arriving in a moment of almost god like command the clouds parted to leave a beautiful sunny and warm day.
This gave us some good opportunity to take some nice arty pictures and to show off our new Discovery Photography tops! Its great when the bride and groom are relaxed the images just flow from the onset.

Steve and Rachel at Wynyard Hall
A last minute wedding is always a bit of a rush to organise from our point of view, but it helps when the client, in this case Rachel and Steve are organised themselves. Rachel’s mum arranged us to cover their wedding very last minute as they weren’t going to both with a photographer. Yet with in a couple of days I had all the information I needed.
I am so glad they chose us; both Steve and Rachel are very fun loving people and this made for a very interesting and fun wedding.
The wedding was topped off by the venue, Wynyard hall. Its a magnificent building and this was our first visit.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for choosing us and wish them all the very best for the future.

Sarah & Russ
Last Saturday Kirsty, Gilly and myself headed off to Grinkle Park Hotel, this was our first wedding we had covered there. So we arrived early to scope the venue and gardens, the weather was a blessing again bright lovely sunshine, 27 degrees predicted!
Great for new black shirts! We really should of thought about a winter and summer uniforms black certainly wasn’t the best colour for such a warm day!
In true British fashion we pulled though and carried on with the job in hand. Sarah and Russ had a very traditional wedding and with a good mix of traditional images and contemporary reportage style.
Now working with two photographer s our clients get a good selection to choose from, and with Gilly organising the group photos, Team discovery operates with precision and has the least impact on the bride and grooms day, after all its their day not ours.
Congratulations Sarah and Russ from the Team Discovery.

Family shoot
I have known Fiona, since I worked at Bike Scene and strangely enough our paths have crossed again.
She booked me for a family shoot on Sunday. It was nice to work with clients who simply have a laugh and relax. Fiona had quite specific idea and once we got the images then it was just the trouble of getting the fine details sorted.
