Rob and Sarah are both fantastic wedding photographers and great friends too, so its a real honour to be asked to photograph their engagement and wedding at Avencroft Museum of historic buildings.

We photographers much prefer to be on the other end of the camera so getting the best out of us as models is always a test of ones mettle so I turned the tables on them and had them shoot Lou and I at the same time (you can see one of their pictures of us in the ‘about me’ section of this blog).

This engagement soot was as much a social as it was work which saw us combine great company with our passion for photography and our love of Indian food. It was good to catch up and chill.

I’m really looking forward to blogging their ‘the who’ themed wedding in the coming weeks, its going to quite literally ROCK! In the meantime here are a few of my favourites from the afternoon.

Rob and Caroline had a spectacular wedding at St Peter’s Church, Bishopton and Crathorne Hall reception.

There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere at Carolines parents house as she and her bridesmaids got ready. This lovely atmosphere continued throughout the entire day.

Although I wouldn’t usually spend 4 hours traveling to a wedding on the opposite coast, as soon as I met Sabbah and Karl I knew I had to shoot their wedding! Sab is my self confessed number 1 fan and a regular contributor to my blog,  she will finally get to see and comment on her very own wedding photos.

Sabbah and Karl both left from Blackmoors hotel in Alnwick which gave me the opportunity to spend time with both of them before the ceremony, Sab getting pampered in her room whilst Karl met their guests in the bar downstairs before the short journey to Alnwick gardens for their ceremony.

Alnwick gardens is a wonderful place for a photographer, lots of light and countless cool places for photographs that change every week. It is however still open to the public so photographing there isn’t a walk in the park even though it is actually in a park.

Their ceremony was held in the glass walled visitor center with spectacular views across the lawn to the huge water fountain. The party then moved into the gardens grounds before heading across rope bridges to the tree house within the gardens for their wedding supper. This is no ordinary tree house though, its huge, is lit by fairy lights, filled with cool furniture carved from solid lumps of wood and has a log fire at its heart.

Sab and Karl had put a lot of thought into their unique wedding experience at Alnwick gardens with entertainment throughout the day for their guests including a magician and crooner. They both had a fantastic day and so did I, thank you for sharing it with me.

Here are a few of my favorites from their day…

Last weekend saw me returning to my home county of Yorkshire to photograph Jess and Jay’s wedding in Halifax. I’ve known Jess’s father for several years through my commercial photography work and it was a real honor that he recommended me to shoot something as important as his daughters wedding.

I took in instant like to Jess and Jay they are such a friendly, couple and I share many interests with them so knew Saturday was going to be a blast – I wasn’t wrong! I was made so welcome, I felt like a guest with a camera than a hired professional.

Jess is my first bride with red hair, I do hope she’s not the last, she looked amazing!

I really enjoyed shooting Andrew and Sian’s wedding this weekend in beautiful Rhoscolyn, Holyhead, North Wales. A really friendly couple which was reflected in their friends and family too.

The rustic church didn’t have the capacity for all their guests so some had to wait in the local pub instead.

Standing on the beach for the photograph above, Andrew said “Rob, we’d like one of those gold award winning images” so no pressure then :)

Andrew and Sian had a great live band playing which I enjoyed staying for, you can’t beat great music while you work!

They are currently on Honeymoon in South Africa but said they would be checking my blog when they found an internet connection. Have a great time guys and I’ll see you when you get back.
