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.

Rachel & James wedding day
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.
