This was an absolute joy of a day to photograph. We already knew a lot of the family having shot Sharon’s brother’s wedding at Newby Hall a few years ago. We felt so welcome and included in the day! And what a day it was. Filled with laughter and love – exactly what we love...
We adored this action packed fun fest of a wedding day. A big part of this being a festival of fun was the presence of their very own fun fair. A fun fair at a wedding? How can we make this happen at all weddings!? A little trip on the dodgems after dinner, this is...
We’re so excited to share some photographs from this beautiful wedding at Middleton Lodge. Francesca & Mike are so full of fun, they’re the kind of people that you can’t help but smile when you’re with them. Just look at their happy faces!! Their merriment was clearly infectious too, as you can see in the...
One of our very favourite weddings of last year was this beautiful day with Lisa & Alistair at a lovely little place in Yorkshire – Tanfield house. They had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the river, everyone cried! Then outdoor games on the lawn (granddad was almost as competitive as Lisa), a brief hunt for the...
What an amazing wedding to be part of! Emma & Jeff were married at St Mary’s Church in Boston Spa before heading off for their reception at the ever beautiful Rudding Park. Despite the amazing locations, outfits, and decorations, what stood out for us at the wedding was just so much love and laughter, this gorgeous...
Sophie and Andy had an absolutely gorgeous wedding at Middleton Lodge. There’s something so wonderful and cosy about weddings in autumn, and Sophie & Andy very wisely chose venues surrounded by gorgeous golden trees. Middleton Lodge is so bright and airy inside, it just lends itself perfectly to photography! When we arrived at the church...
Catherine and Dave’s wedding day was a scorcher. Perfect for the ‘fun at the fair’ theme at the reception. Catherine went to town making literally EVERYTHING. From the personalised champagne glasses in the morning to the bridal party coconuts for the coconut shy (there’s a phrase I’ve never written before!). Everywhere I looked there was an...
These guys are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet! They’re normally off saving lives, but took some time out from all of that to get married at the beautiful Yorkshire Wedding Barn surrounded by their family & friends. There was scarcely a moment when we looked around and didn’t see people laughing...
Loulie and Murray had their gorgeous wedding at The Orangery at Settrington, part of a really beautiful estate in North Yorkshire. It’s always so nice to visit places we’ve never been before, and we fell in love with it as soon as we arrived. We’ve had a long break from weddings and were recharged and...
These lovely people, Lauren & Paul, got married at the always beautiful Allerton Castle a couple of weeks ago, and we just had to get their blog up in time for Christmas! It was a rainy, cosy, wintery day (but no floods here!) so while we couldn’t venture outside for pictures, it really didn’t...
Victoria & Dan got married on a lovely autumn day in November, we had all the weather, but eventually the sun came out and gave us that beautiful autumn light. These guys are the perfect compliment to each other – Victoria’s always laughing and smiling, Dan’s more the strong quiet type. And they’ve made...
What a beautiful day this was! Sarah & Tom got ready at the holiday park attached to Allerton Castle – they were both very nervous before the wedding but they completely relaxed as soon as they saw each other at the top of the aisle. Tom’s mum did a few amazing readings during the service,...
Rob’s a photographer, and a good one at that. Thankfully he’s moved more into video (shotbysodium.com), so that’s the risk of him running off with …
Diane & Adam’s wedding at Middleton Lodge was a very non-traditionnal affair. Generous with gorgeous details and wonderful families, but short on those things that convention dictates. No group shots, no first dance, no avoiding each other until the ceremony. It was very freeing to see a wedding dictated entirely by the couple’s wishes, it is...
