Loving first dance.

Two brides first dance, at Hollin Hall Country House Hotel in Cheshire

Beautiful lighting on the couple as they enjoy their first dance.

Loving couple...

Sophie and Victoria are a very dedicated couple – very much in love – so was thrilled to be their official wedding photographer at Hollin Country House Hotel in Cheshire.   Snow was a bit of a problem for some guests getting there, but with a bright sunny day for the wedding itself,  everyone was in a great mood.  I was still taking photos at midnight!  the venue is wonderful for photos too, with its grand staircase and antique carved bannisters. More pics from their wedding here : http://www.leedsweddingphotographers.com/?p=23027.  More about Civil Partnerships here too: http://www.reellifephotos.co.uk/?p=3521

We are a gay friendly company so would be delighted to photograph or video your Civil Partnership wedding celebrations – anywhere in the UK or abroad!

Congratulations!

Two brides show their love after Civil Partnership wedding

Julie covered  Caroline and Sarah’s Civil Partnership wedding at Barden Tower near Skipton with their wedding reception at the Priestshouse Restaurant on Saturday 17 July.  We’d have loved to have stayed all day, as we usually do but in this case only had a couple of hours to capture the essence of their special day.

Sweet Kiss on the shoulder from Sarah to Caroline

Everyone was told to come in black.  The bride wore a full-length jewel-encrusted black laced gown and her civil partner a decorative black suit and cravat.  The  setting?  –  the Woodlands Hotel in Leeds.

A year or so ago I had wandered into the drop-in centre at Dewsbury Hospital with my granddaughter I think, and got talking to a lovely lady called Anne.  I gave her a business card and she passed it on to her sister, Dawn.  So that’s how I ended up being booked to cover this unusual event.

Civil partner Helen arrives with her family in a black Limo, then is photographed with her Mum.

Dawn goes down the staircase to have her civil partnership wedding.

Dawn arranged a surprise helicopter ride for her civil partner, Helen and two passengers.

After this photo was taken,  Dawn accidentally knocked the taps on and jumped  screaming – with laughter – from the bath!
