  • Hanna & Gary’s Sandburn Hall Wedding

    Hanna & Gary’s Sandburn Hall Wedding

    It’s funny how things work out.

    Back when my kids were in primary school I used to donate a photo shoot voucher as a raffle prize.  Disappointingly, despite there being a winner every time, it was very rare that people would actually claim their prize.

    There was this one family I do remember claiming their prize.  A lovely young couple named Hanna and Gary.  We spent about an hour together crafting memories.

    I have since come to find out that on that day, they both agreed that if they were to get married, they would like me to be their photographer, on the basis that Gary was not fond of having his photo taken but felt comfortable with me.

    Well, here we are, almost 6 years later!

    This wedding was a great pleasure to shoot.  Not only was it lovely to spend time with Hanna and Gary again, it was also my first visit to Sandburn Hall Golf Club.  Add to that almost perfect weather, and you’ve got a recipe for some spectacular photos.

    Speaking of which….

  • Cally & Neil’s Wedding in York

    Cally & Neil’s Wedding in York

    You know those days where it rains, then it’s sunny, then it rains again?  Yep, that pretty neatly describes the weather on Cally & Neil’s wedding day at the DoubleTree by Hilton in York.

    Regular readers will know that this was not my first time at the York DoubleTree.  I actually photographed the first ever wedding here, or at least the first ever wedding at the DoubleTree by Hilton, a few years early.

    Funnily enough we had a similar situation with the weather that time.  We managed to get out and take some photos on the York walls in the early afternoon, and then the rain came along and scuppered any plans we might have had to get out again later for the sunset.

    Weather aside, a beautiful day and one worth reliving in this selection of highlights from the photos I took on the day.

    The first ever DoubleTree by Hilton, York Wedding

    This is the story of the first ever wedding at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in York

    Let me explain.

    For my initial meeting with Nick and Victoria we got together at the Best Western Monkbar Hotel in the centre of York.

    The Monkbar Hotel was to be their wedding venue, so it seemed like a good opportunity to combine our planning meeting with a scout around.
