    My Favourite Wedding Photos of 2018

    When your job is photographing people on the happiest day of their life so far, it’s pretty tough to have a bad year.  I guess if I didn’t book many weddings, that would be one way.  Thankfully 2018 saw me travelling around to plenty of weddings so yes, this was another very good year :-).

    So before we go blazing headfirst into 2019, here is a look back at some of my favourite photos I took in 2018.

    Note that I said favourite, not best Remember that the photos I take are of real people, doing real things on real wedding days.  I don’t pose people and I don’t try to recreate magazine style wedding photos.  What that means is that, whilst other ‘best of 2018’ blogs will be showcasing spectacular works of art, here you will find just a plain old bunch of photos of happy people.

    I would love to photograph your wedding day

    Getting married and looking for a photographer? I would love to be involved. If you’re the kind of couple that prefer the photos to happen naturally without turning your wedding day into a photo shoot then give me a shout, let’s find out if I’m available and then we can go from there.

  • St Lawrence Church, Hatfield & Rossington Hall Wedding

    St Lawrence Church, Hatfield & Rossington Hall Wedding

    A Rossington Hall Wedding Reception

    ** This wedding was featured in Love My Dress wedding blog in Jan 2018, which is awesome!

    As soon as Kathryn first mentioned Rossington Hall I got excited.

    Well, excited and disappointed that I would have to wait a whole year before her and Ste’s wedding day.

    I had done my research online, looked at photos of what Rossington Hall looked like on a typical wedding day.

    It was only actually a few weeks before the wedding day and we met at the Doncaster venue on an open day that I was able to truly appreciate the beauty of this magnificent house.

    Truly, Rossington Hall is a beautiful wedding venue.

    Yes, from a photographer’s perspective the halls at very dark and an absolute pain to take photos in.

    The grounds more than make up for it though, so long as the weather plays along.

    Speaking of the weather, a spot of rain may potentially have caused difficulties for the Markham Main Colliery Brass Band who were set up to play during the welcome reception out in the gardens.

    Fortunately there was no rain, in fact it was glorious sunshine all through the day.  Something of a rare treat for a UK August Bank Holiday weekend.

    St Lawrence Church, Hatfield Wedding Ceremony

    If your wedding venue is Rossington Hall and you are wanting a church ceremony, St Lawrence is a natural choice.

    It is a short 15 minute drive away and an absolutely beautiful church.

    Plenty of space inside, should easily accommodate a sizeable wedding party.

    Also, for a church in the middle of a town, the parking is surprisingly good.

    The only logistical issue we had was the sharp blind bend just before the church entrance which made life difficult for the wedding car to stay nearby.
