Rockingham Castle wedding photography - Emma and Richard are married!

It was lovely to be back at Rockingham Castle yesterday as Emma and Richard were married.

Despite the constant blustery wind and the threat of rain it stayed dry throughout the day as Emma and her bridal party arrived in a a fabuous horse drawn carriage, from Waldburg Shires, prior to their wedding in the Great Hall in the castle.

After their wedding Emma and Richard went for a ride around the grounds in the carriage while many of their guests took a tour of the castle.

We got out round the gardens with the two of them after their wedding breakfast.

Here's an early preview of their day:

Many congratulations, Emma and Richard!

Wedding photography Sutton Bassett and Rockingham Castle - Claire and Adrian are married!

Claire and Adrian married yesterday at All Saints Chuch, Sutton Bassett, a lovely little picture postcard pretty church that, although very close to home, I've never been into before.

After their ceremony they were whisked away in a fabulous MkII Jaguar to their reception at the always magnificent Rockingham Castle.

Despite some dark clouds threatening at times, it was a gloriously sunny May day, and after their wedding breakfast we went out around the gardens of the castle, when the bright sun had gone down and there was a less harsh light.

Here's a little preview of their fabulous day, with thanks to Richard from Rockingham Castle for the group image from ground level while everybody was looking at me hanging out of a window on the first floor of Walkers House:

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Green! Or should I say 'lovely, lovely, lovely'!!

Wedding photography Oakham and Rockingham Castle - Lucy and Michael are married!

Lucy and Michael married earlier today at Lucy's old school chapel - Oakham School Chapel - with their reception following at the wonderful Rockingham Castle.

Lucy looked stunning in an Alan Hannah bridal gown as they were married by the Reverend Alex Aldous, who then swiftly changed to drive them down to Rockingham Castle in a beautiful vintage Jaguar!

We had the pleasure of working for the first time with their videographer, Barry Weare, and thankfully, along with Barry we had been tipped off about the surprise that was to come part way through their drinks reception as Lucy, Michael and their guests were entertained by a very skillful aerobatics display.

Here's an early taster of their day which, hopefully, they'll see before they fly off to Brazil for their honeymoon:

We left them dancing the night away to their fabulous band, Stak It Up.

What a fabulous day! Many congratulations Lucy and Michael!!

Wedding photography Rockingham Castle - Keeley and Ben are married!

Keeley and Ben's wedding on Friday was their dream wedding in so many ways.

Keeley had always dreamt of having her wedding in a castle, and they held their reception at the fabulous Rockingham Castle after marrying at St Leonard's Church, just below the castle walls. And, according to Ben's speech, he had never dreamt that eleven years, and a few months, weeks and days (Ben can confirm the exact numbers!) after their first kiss he would be marrying Keeley!

And what a fabulous day they had. The sun shone, so no need for big white brollies that we've used for the last few Fridays, and I don't think they stopped smiling all day.

Here's a small selection as a sneak peak preview for them to see before going off on their honeymoon:

Congratulations Keeley and Ben! It was a real pleasure to be there to capture your day.

Wedding photography Rockingham Castle - Anna and Stuart are married!

Despite the weather not being at it's best (an understatement to say the least!) Anna and Stuart were a picture of relaxed calm and happiness at their wedding yeterday as they were married at St Leonard's Church, Rockingham.

The sun shone during their service (!) but they emerged from the church to driving rain for the walk up to Rockingham Castle where they held their reception. Big white brollies to the rescue!

Thankfully, there were a few breaks in the weather so that we could get everybody outside for a picture of them with their whole wedding party. And after their wedding breakfast we even managed to venture up into the gardens for some lovely images of the two of them as the next wave of dark, rain laden clouds approached.

Here's a little taster of their day, with a little bit of sunshine whilst we were in the gardens:























We left them, shortly after their first dance, dancing away to their excellent band, Session One.



Congratulations Anna and Stuart!
