“ The pictures are perfect, we absolutely love them and it has brought back so many amazing memories! Thank you so much.”
Ginny & Michael
What a day I had up in the Yorkshire town of Doncaster or Donny as the locals like to call it. Wedding photography takes me all across the country but this was my first visit to Doncaster! I was here to photograph the very awesome couple and two local farmers Ginny & Michael. After driving through the winding country roads I arrived at Michaels family home to take some pics of the boys getting ready before dashing off to see the bride to be at her parents working farm in Tickhill. This was also the venue for the wedding reception. It had the feel of a super cool rusting wedding with giant hay stacks, tractors, barns..just perfect!
After photographing Ginny being made to look even more amazing it was the moment I always look forward too. The tear shedding moment when the father of the bride sees his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress. It didn’t disappoint, there were tears and hugs and more tears and yet more hugs! it didn’t stop there because as soon as the bridesmaids peered around the door and saw Ginny in all white it started all over again! So many great emotions that all good photographers look out for and what makes a wedding day so special.
After the church ceremony something amazing happened to surprise the guests. A band appeared down the street and before I knew it Ginny and Michael had joined them in the street to have a dance! Back on the farm and the marquee was looking immaculate, with blue skies overhead and drinks being served it was time to escape for 20 minutes to take some cool couple shots. I never want a bride and groom to be away from their guests and the party for too long so keep it to 20/30 minutes. We jumped in the 4x4 and headed off to the farming fields that surrounded the family farm.
Another thing that made me smile during the day was Ginny and Michaels arrival into the marque ready to be seated for the wedding breakfast, They were accompanied by the band playing lung bursting tunes and also cheering wedding guests waving white napkins..haha. loved it!
A wedding with colour, guests that knew how to have fun, unexpected surprises and lots of emotion is my kind of wedding!
It really was a spectacular day from start to finish.
