The day started at Liz’s parents home where all 6 bridesmaids, 2 of the pageboys and the hairdresser had landed for early preparations.  Various Gameboy’s, iPhones and cartoons kept the children entertained, whilst Liz’s Mum did what mums do best, keeping everyone fed and watered.

Things slowed down a little by the time we got to the venue for final preparations where the calming influence of the beautiful surroundings took over. Luckily, the weatherman got it wrong and we managed to avoid the heavy rain forecast, despite it raining in Leeds, Sheffield and York; Wakefield remained rain free.

They’re a great fun couple which I think shows in the photographs we captured for them.

They were married in the Abbey Road suite at Doncaster’s Regent Hotel. A great fun couple who are so in love and had a wonderful day with their family and friends.

The bridesmaids were angelic, as you can see in the pictures here.

As you can see we had great fun in the beautiful grounds of the Waterton Park Hotel.

Here’s a few of our favourites from the day.

It was an early start as they got married at 9.30 and we managed to avoid the rain (mostly) and had a great time around the Town Hall, Peace Gardens and Winter Gardens.

The reception was held in St Peter’s Hotel, where the wedding breakfast was indeed – breakfast. It still being only 11.00am.

‘Best Man’ duties were performed admirably by Kevin’s daughter Nat and the gorgeous pageboy was the couples son James

Lisa and Kevin are a great couple and we wish them all the best.

When I have time out from shooting wedding photographs in and around Yorkshire, there’s no better exercise for my creativity than this….

There’s the equivalent of the bridal preparation shots… seeing the final preparations coming together

And there’s getting in close to show the romance of the occasion…

We need to be prepared for changing weather conditions, these were both shot on the same day…

There’s practising my timing for capturing peak action, this helps for the dance floor images…

Something old (TR7 – V8 on the RAC Rally)..

Something New (The new Red Bull Citroen C4 – first time out)..

Something Borrowed (Petter Solberg – first time out in his new C4)..

Something Blue ..

So if you’re planning a destination wedding, there might be something in it for you if you can arrange it around the WRC calendar.

They’re performing at the Dearne Playhouse from Wednesday 24th to Saturday 27th of February. I attended the full dress rehearsal and the sets and costumes were awesome and only overshadowed by the performances of some of these excellent young performers.

Due to popular demand, I’ve set up a secure gallery on my main website for ordering prints or discs of images. I’ll mail out login details to all those that have asked so far. If you haven’t asked yet but are interested, contact me via the email form and I’ll give you the login details.

Once again, thanks for the fantastic response.

I also thought it’d be nice to show a shoot from one of my previous customers, not to forget that our classic wedding package now includes a complimentary engagement shoot.

That’s right, you can have an engagement shoot for free if you book our Classic wedding package.

I think it’s a little unfair to my previous customers that they never got to see themselves on the blog, so let me know what you think!

Over the Christmas holidays I had the opportunity to photograph a local theatre company in rehearsal for their pantomime; Peter Pan.

The company are 2Act, who perform at various venues in South Yorkshire. This production of Peter Pan was directed by Richard Crehan, and was performed at the Dearne Playhouse and at Doncaster Little Theatre.

They were great fun to work with and the performance was full of the usual pantomome characters including a hilarious pantomime dame.

Tomorrow – the world.

Thanks for looking
