Rosie and Pete's Wedding -Holy Trinity Church Skipton & Eaves Hall, Clitheroe

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Rogers!


On Saturday 21st April, Rosie and Pete were married at the Holy Trinity Church in Skipton at 1pm followed by an exquisite reception at Eaves Hall in Clitheroe.
It was a truly wonderful day. I arrived to see the boys first who were all smiles and so organised. We walked up Skipton High Street and across to the Church, with onlookers shouting advice to Pete!

Rosie was getting ready with her family and Bridesmaids. She wore a beautiful vintage style wedding gown and looked absolutely stunning. She arrived at the Church in a classic Bentley with Richard, the Father of the Bride.
It was a half hour drive through the countryside to arrive at Eaves Hall for a champagne reception. Rosie in particular, loves photography and had a lot of interest in the style of their images. It was a very important aspect of their day and Rosie and Pete gave me loads of time to get the shots we wanted. We had discussed many  ideas for the day and wanted to make full use of what Eaves Hall has to offer, inside and out.

Evening guests arrived around 8pm and it was a real party atmosphere, Rosie threw her bouquet from the balcony which was brilliant fun, whilst Rosie and I were inside the Pendle Suite we could hear all the girls outside waiting for her to appear on the balcony. It was a celebrity moment for Rosie!


Thank you so much for making us so welcome, we thoroughly enjoyed the day and thank you Chris, Graeme and Owain for your help.
Such lovely family and friends.

Naomi and Richard Wedding - Chevin Lodge, Otley

Naomi and Richard were married at Chevin Lodge in Otley last Friday, 20th April.  It rained all last week and the weather forecast looked grim. Not ideal for a woodland setting! 
However, the forecast changed at the eleventh hour and it stayed dry all morning, even sunshine for drinks on the terrace overlooking the lake, until the moment the wedding breakfast was served, and the heavens opened.  Timed to perfection!
It was a very emotional day, starting from the moment Naomi saw her beautiful bouquet arrive. Fantastic cerise colours.

There were many emotional moments throughout, but particularly when Pete, the Father of the Bride stood to give his speech. It was highly emotive, touching and wonderful.
New best friendships were formed........

Naomi looked fantastic and has the most brilliant smile and Rich just looked so relaxed! 

After dinner there was a little quiet time for some lovely woodland photos and the light was gorgeous.  In the evening guests were treated to a hog roast. A great day, lovely families and friends.
Congratulations Naomi and Richard. 

Louise and Ian pre wedding shoot

Louise and Ian are getting married in early June and have just spent a year renovating their first home, an old barn on the family farm.  Naturally, they wanted their pre wedding shoot to feature some of their amazing new home as they only recently moved in and are really proud and excited.  Its the first time I have seen it, I have only heard about it..... 

Wow! Its fantastic, a really beautiful house. 

So when I arrived it was raining and it was freezing cold, but the huge log fire was lit and I was given a grand tour. We spent some time catching up, talking all about the house and did a few shots inside before we braved the outdoors.

The farm had tons of character and quirky backgrounds to use, and livestock!

I think Ian was a bit concerned about my fascination with the rusty old doors but it was exactly what I was hoping for. 

Jess reluctantly joined in on the action but was in a hurry to get back to work. 

The Massey Ferguson also made an appearance, specially jet washed for the occasion by Louise.

Thanks Louise and Ian for a fun morning on the farm, and for letting me have my lamb fix and hand warming cuppa before I went on my way! 

Enjoy your gorgeous new home......

Ilkley Business Network

I was very kindly asked if I would like to be a visitor at the Ilkley Business Network meeting this morning by Julia Forrester, my accountant at Tax Assist in Ilkley.


It was an early start, the meeting began at 06.30am at Ilkley Tennis Club. I was made to feel extremely welcome by all the members and it was good to chat to local business owners and introduce myself and my photography. I made some great contacts and I really look forward to visiting a second time in the near future.


Thanks Julia! You can find her at - Tax Assist Ilkley
