Wedding Photography Wakefield
Rain, yup – plenty of it. But as a Rogerthorpe Manor Wedding Photographer I always have a plan ‘B’ up my sleeve as lets face it, living in Yorkshire and as fab as our stunning county is, rain is a fact of life. Today started with bridal preparations and I met Veronica and all the...
Not far from me is one of the nicest venues I’ve had the pleasure to photograph at. A place I used to go to as a boy and now as a Wakefield Wedding Photographer todays venue was the wonderful Nostell Priory on the outskirts of Wakefield. Before heading off to Nostell Priory I had arranged...
Another fab day, another wedding without rain (which is getting to become a habit that I do like) and and another great couple. Today we were at the Kingscroft Hotel in Pontefract. As a Wakefield Wedding photographer it is a regular venue for me and one that I’m at around half a dozen times this...
Easter is an extremely busy time at our studio in Castleford. Not only do we have lots of portrait sittings but as a wedding photographer in Wakefield we’ve lots of weddings to photograph too. This year it’s been four weddings in only eight days. The weather looked like it was going to give us a...
When I met Helen and Anthony around a year before their wedding they wanted a Leeds Wedding Photographer to document their special day at Thorpe Park Hotel. Anthony had spent lots of time at Thorpe Park with work and so it was more like a second home for him! The staff new him personally and...
When Vicky and Ben asked me to provide the wedding photography at Hazlewood Castle for their wedding there were one or two stipulations. Firstly, they were having their son christened during the same ceremony, their family must not know about it, they wanted lots of out door shots and plenty of the ceremony. No problem!...
Back again for wedding photography at Wentbridge House and today was a real hot one! Traditional photography was the style of today on the request of Julie and Andrew and since the ceremony was also happening at Wentbridge House I arranged to meet Julie early in the day for the bridal preparations. Everything was planned...
When you have a limited time and you are working in an old elegant country house that’s open to the public you know as a wedding photographer in Bradford you’ve got to have your planning right for the couples big day and planning for Sherry and Tonys big day was crucial. Oakwell Hall is situated...
The 5th November and a fantastic memorable day and night for a wedding. As a professional wedding photographer in Wakefield it always gives me pleasure to visit Wentbridge house for wedding photography especially as it brings back so many memories of my wedding to Tracy which we celebrated in the same place! The day started...
Sometimes as a wedding photographer in Wakefield I arrive at the bridal preparations and I’m greeted by a nervous bride and several nervous bridesmaids. Well today was different. To say Tina was chilled about the day was an understatement and it was easy to see as on arrival everything was on time and running like...
It’s not often I photograph weddings in my home town of Castleford, I’m normally producing wedding photography in Wakefield or photographing at other venues throughout the region. However, I was looking forward to today. A local church wedding, a reception at a local hotel and a request for the photographs at a local very scenic...
It’s not often as a wedding photographer in Wakefield that I get asked to photograph a wedding where both the bride and groom are retired and it certainly makes a change from the contemporary wedding photography which I photograph sometimes twice a week. Going back to traditional photography roots and talking in great detail with...
As a Wakefield wedding photographer I think I’m blessed with the locations I’m able to shoot in. West Yorkshire has some fantastic country houses, castles and stately homes and one of the nicest is Bagden Hall. I met Lindsay a few weeks before her wedding to go through all the details of her day and...
I love my job. It’s got to be THE best job in the world. What other job could you share the most important day of someones life with? Spending time with Julie and Vic on their wedding day it was clear to see that they were meant to be together and it was a real...
For Martin Hillary Photography the season starts here with a fabulous pre-wedding shoot tomorrow afternoon and then next week full on into the wedding season starting with a wedding shoot at Oulton Hall and then over two dozen weddings before I get a weekend break! It’s going to be a brilliant ride watching and helping...
Wedding photographers – cheap? Expensive? Worth the money? When you look for a wedding photographer what do you do? Do you go to Google and type ‘wedding photographer Wakefield‘ or ‘wedding photographer leeds‘. Do you then systematically click down every photographer and if you do, what do you look at first? The price? The photographs?...
Ok, it’s around 6am on Saturday morning (probably will be much later by the time I post this). I can’t sleep as my head is full of new ideas for the business (it’s full of cold also which isn’t helping either), new packages, new additions to the website and generally how to improve the service...
When Sarah first called she initially said she wasn’t going to have a wedding photographer so the booking was quite short notice. This was a special wedding for me as Sarah and Gareth were getting married in the same church that my wife and I did so it was nice to see the church...
When I met Lisa and Joe last year they had already planned out much of their wedding and had plenty of ideas about what they wanted from their wedding photography. Thankfully the first suggestion of their pet rabbit carrying the rings down the aisle wasn’t followed through, although it could have made for interesting...
Click on the thumbnails to enlarge images! As a Wedding Photographer in Wakefield you can’t predict the weather, but when you are photographing a wedding the weekend before Christmas you can only wish for a cold crisp day and not the damp foggy weather which we are used to over here in Yorkshire....
