Wedding photography Hothorpe Hall - Liz and Jonny are married!

Liz and Jonny were married at Hothorpe Hall today in a day filled with sunshine (lots), tears (a few), and laughter (lots and lots).

Their wedding ceremony was at noon, followed by drinks and photos, their wedding breakfast, and then a late afternoon blessing conducted by Rev'd Barbara Routley. And plenty of time to spend with them after their blessing and before their evening guests arrived.

These few 'sneak peak' images are just a hint of their day; from the little touches (the bow on the back of Liz's lovely wedding gown, Jonny's Superman cufflinks and 'quiet' shirt), to the poignant looks (Liz and her father as they came in to the ceremony), and the sheer exuberance of Liz's laugh.

Thanks to all at Hothorpe Hall and toastmaster extraordinaire, Alan Cockayne.

Congratulations Liz and Jonny! I can't believe that you were that camera shy couple I photographed eight days ago!!

Wedding photography Hothorpe Hall - Lucy and Richard are married!

I was delighted to be able to step in and help out Lucy and Richard, who were married today at Hothorpe Hall. Their original photographer hadn't been able to get over from Ireland and, as Hothorpe Hall is just down the road for me, I was able to step in at the last minute.

Normally I've met the bride and groom several times before their wedding, sometimes I've met their parents and the bridal party too, and really got to know them. I met Lucy and Richard for the first time this morning and they were a joy to work with!

After their wedding ceremony everybody came outside for a group picture in the sub zero temperatures. Lucy and Richard were troopers and stayed outside for a little wander round the grounds where we got some lovely images against the snow clad Hothorpe Hills.

I left them just as they went into their wedding breakfast, but here's a little taster of their fabulous day (special thanks to Toastmaster Alan Cockayne for taking the group shot while I was upstairs taking an image of the whole wedding party):

Many congratulations Lucy and Richard! It was lovely to be there to record your day and I hope you enjoy the images.

Wedding photography Hothorpe Hall - Deborah and Neil are married!

Yesterday it was back to Hothorpe Hall for the wedding of Deborah and Neil. They were one of the first couples to book us for their 2010 wedding when we met them there at the beginning of last year, and we were delighted to join them to photograph their wedding.

Their preparation, wedding ceremony and reception were all held on site at Hothorpe, a real bonus with the weather yesterday. And we were fortunate enough to be able to get outside between the torrential rain for their photographs.

Here's a little taster of their day, including their impromptu first dance (they weren't going to do one - thank you for encouraging them, Clare!):

























Congratulations Deborah and Neil! Have a great honeymoon and we'll look forward to catching up with you at the end of the month.

Wedding photography Hothorpe Hall - Katie and Aird are married!

We had a fabulous day on Friday as Katie and Aird were married at St Nicholas Church, Little Bowden, with their reception following at Hothorpe Hall.

Not to be outdone by the gorgeous bride and bridesmaids, Aird and his best men - his brothers Alec and Ian - were resplendent in kilts.

We left the party in full swing after their carefully choreographed first dance.

Here's a little peak of some early favourites:

























Congratulations Katie and Aird!

Katie and Aird - take two!

Katie and Aird also get married in late July, in fact, just a couple of days after Sadrina and Mike.

They're getting married a bit nearer to home, at Hothorpe Hall, and I met up with them last month for a second portrait session so that we've really broken the ice before their big day.

Here are a few favourites:
