  • Beauty and the Beast Themed Wedding :: Jess and Martin

    Beauty and the Beast Themed Wedding :: Jess and Martin

    By the time Jess and Martin’s wedding day came around it was like photographing a wedding for old friends.

    I had first met them at Becky and Jordan’s wedding the previous year.  Martin was Jordan’s best man.  It seems they were suitably impressed with me at the time so they went on to book me for their own wedding.

    It wasn’t much later that I had a call from another couple, Rochelle and Paul, who had heard about me through Jess and wanted to talk to me about photographing their wedding.   Thanks to Jess’ recommendation they went on to book me.  Suffice to say, Jess and Martin were guests at the wedding so we got another chance to catch up before their big day.

    As it happened I was also available to attend their rehearsal at the church, and then, by complete coincidence I happened to be photographing a different wedding at Wortley Hall the day prior to theirs, meaning I bumped into a Martin and a few others from their party when they popped in to set up a few last minute details.

    So, we were pretty well acquainted by the time the morning of the wedding came along, which really does help.

    What was also a refreshing surprise was how many of the guests I already knew from Becky and Jordan’s wedding as well as Rochelle and Paul who were also guests.  It can get a bit lonely being a wedding photographer, getting to know a whole new bunch of people at every wedding.  Don’t get me wrong, I love meeting new people, but a few familiar faces is always a treat.

  • Game of Thrones Themed Wedding :: Beth & Will

    Game of Thrones Themed Wedding :: Beth & Will

    Beth & Will’s Game of Thrones Themed Wortley Hall Wedding

    Fans of Game of Thrones, I want you to start humming the theme song now, just to set the tone.

    This is a wedding that had been in my diary for over 2 years.  I first met with Beth and Will back in June 2016.   I had worked with Beth’s sister Erika when she was doing the Bridal party’s make-up for Emma & Lee’s wedding.   Erika and I got along well so she recommended me to Beth, and the rest just fell into place.

    Side note, don’t forget to check out Erika’s MUA Facebook page, she comes highly recommended.

    So, I knew all about where and when the wedding was going to be, and this wasn’t my first time at Wortley Hall, so I thought I knew what to expect.  

    However, I was not aware of the Game of Thrones theme.  As a fan of the show I was very excited when Beth told me about it.  The Foundry Dining Room at Wortley Hall is already a very impressive room that feels almost like a GoT set, so with the subtle extra touches and amazing autumnal flowers (prepared by Beth’s mum!) the room looked spectacular.






    It was great to spend the day with Beth, Will and their families.  I felt very welcome right from the start, plus it was great to see Erika again after all these years!

    Getting ready was a family affair.  Naturally Erika did the make-up, and Beth’s Mum is actually a wedding hairdresser so took care of all of that.

    Being in the one place all day meant the bone-chilling cold outside was not much of a concern.  We did spend a bit of time in the gardens for portraits and group photos, but it only took me a few minutes to regain the feelings in my fingers afterwards.
