Healds Hall Evening Wedding Reception Pictures

Thursday, December 19th, 2013

I was looking for some of my wedding photos from Healds Hall when I discovered one of my images had been used by Google to identify Healds Hall, so I thought it was about time I put some of those images together on my blog.  I also found that someone had cropped off my logo/web-address on one of my photos of the Irish Ceilidh at this wedding and posted it on Pinterest without crediting Reel Life Photos as the source , which is totally unfair.  It took ages searching all my files to find them, but its worth it as they show the lovely mood that a family wedding there can have, particularly if children are also present.

Not many people can pose naturally for pictures so I usually find the ones everyone likes best were taken unawares!

Even though it had been a very long day - from photographing the bride getting ready to the the church wedding ceremony, the reception at Healds Hall and then right on through till late at night, I still had the energy left to take a goodnight pic of the venue as on my way out.

This was my first visit to the Festival of Light in Huddersfield.  I was showing two young visitors from Melbourne in Australia a bit about West Yorkshire, so this seemed an ideal entertainment feature for them to share with me.  The streets were full of life, as parents brought their children out to enjoy this winter’s evening, to sample food at the various stalls, wave light sabres around, and to listen to the Christmas Carols being played by the University of Huddersfield Brass Band.  Then  the rain fell…  A few drifted away as it failed to relent, but Yorkshire families are a hardy lot so they stood their ground till the magic of the fireworks display was over. Beautiful!
