My Favourite Album Pages from 2009

sarah — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:04:29 +0000

At this time of year I am getting really excited about the many weddings I will be photographing throughout the year, I am also looking back on all the beautiful weddings and moments I captured in 2009. I thought I would share some of my personal favourite wedding album pages from some of the weddings I photographed and pages I designed…..

These were from Kirsty and Jonathan’s wedding in May last year at the absolutely gorgeous East Lodge in Derbyshire. I think Kirsty looks fantastic in these bridal preparation shots.

and here are the happy couple in the stunning gardens…

The next pages come from a wedding I did in August for the lovely couple Liz and Liam. I absolutely LOVE these pictures taken in the honeymoon Suite in the Maynard. The sepia toned images make the setting really romantic…

and here is evidence of lots of fun and laughter during the speeches!

And finally these were taken on a gorgeous sunny day in September for Alison an Gareth. Their wedding reception was at St Paul’s Mercure Hotel in Sheffield city centre so we had the opportunity to use both the Winter Gardens and the Peace Gardens for photography.

I love the contrast between the white light of the day and the muted dark of the night with the wheel and Town Hall just peaking out in the background.

“Thank you for everything you did for us. We couldn’t have asked anymore from our wedding photographer. You captured the day perfectly, understood what we wanted and delivered with excellence. The pictures are fantastic and everybody we have shown the album to has been very impressed by the quality of the photographs and the way they are laid out. We will be recommending you to anybody we know getting married in future. Thanks again.”

I love a winter wedding with a light frosting of snow on the grass, and this was exactly how it was on the 27th of December when Tecwyn and Caroline got married at the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Sheffield. Despite the weather Caroline and Tecwyn braved the cold for some photographs outside. The celebrations continued afterwards at Loch Fyne, I hope you all had a fabulous time.

Previous wedding storyboards:

Rebecca & Justin got married in a beautiful church in Sprotbrough on the 17th October. After lots of confetti throwing at the church the happy couple headed off in their vintage car to the Rogerthorpe Manor in Pontefract. Group photographs were taken in the lovely grounds, with lots of laughter along the way – Rebecca I will never forget you being lifted by the groomsmen!

Christine & Chris got married at Slaley Hall in Northumberland on the 2nd October. With the men in kilts, Christine added her own touch of tartan to her outfit, with a personalized garter and even tartan shoes – amazing! All the little details really added to the day and the stunning backdrop of the hall and its gardens made for lovely photographs (and a ride for the bride and groom in a golf buggy!).

Mary & Richard got married at St Francis of Assisi on the 26th September with friends and family travelling from far and wide. The celebrations continued in the sunshine at the gorgeous Whitley Hall. A beautiful blue and orange colour scheme ran throughout the whole day. The theme for the wedding breakfast focused on Mary and Richard’s passion for travel with great attention to detail paid to the favours and floral decorations on each table. The evening started with a very memorable first dance!! Many congrats to you both for the future.

Philip and Tracey got married at the stunning Ettington Park near Stratford-Upon-Avon on the 25th September. Famous for the setting of the cult horror ‘The Haunting’ and with many ghost stories circulating around the guests, I was half expecting ghostly beings in my images, fortunately there weren’t any! Instead, the beautiful autumn colours shone through and the orange tones that the couple had chosen for their colour scheme tied in perfectly.

Alison & Gareth got married on the 12th September at St James Church in Norton. What a lovely sunny day it was! The happy couple along with family and friends headed to St Pauls Hotel in Sheffield city centre where the celebrating continued. A great day for everybody, hope you both had a fab honeymoon!

Chris & Gemma got married on the 4th September at the Town Hall in Sheffield. A beautiful service started with an acoustic guitar intro as Gemma and her father entered the room. After the service, friends and family flocked to the peace gardens where we managed to get a few wind-swept shots before retreating to warmer climates in the lovely winter gardens. You both looked great on the day and very happy! I hope the rest of the day was as enjoyable.

Anna & Will got married on the 22nd August at the beautiful Whitley Hall in Sheffield. Friends and family were able to enjoy the lovely gardens with the sun shining all day long. A fab day for all! I wish you lots of happiness as Mr and Mrs Smith!

Hayley and Liam celebrated their wedding on the 21st August at the Ringwood Hall in Chesterfield. After the threat of rain early on in the day the sun came out and we were able to capture some beautiful images in the stunning grounds. Everybody had a fab day and I’m sure the party continued well after I left!

The 7th August was the special day for Liz and Liam marrying at Dore Church and then celebrating with family and friends at the beautiful Maynard in Grindleford. I really enjoyed photographing your wedding day and capturing all those special little moments. Wishing you both lots of happiness as a married couple.

Joanne and Boosh celebrated their wedding in style on the 11th July with their 300 guests! Bramall Lane, home to Sheffield United was the venue for the day, their red and white theme tying in brilliantly. Wishing you lots of future success and happiness for your marriage and of course the blades!!

Previous wedding storyboards:

The beautiful Whirlowbrook Hall in Sheffield was the setting for the marriage of Emma & Glen on the 27th June 2009. With the duck pond, gorgeous flower gardens and the Hall itself we were spoilt for choice with locations for photography! I was very impressed with all the little details that had gone into making everything so perfect, and I wish you lots of happiness together.

Rebecca and Daniel celebrated their wedding day at the gorgeous Wood Hall in Wetherby on the 26th June 2009. You both make a beautiful couple and were a pleasure to photograph! The storyboard of the day picks up on the beautiful pink roses that were the colour theme for the wedding day.

A fabulous day was had by all celebrating the wedding of Kimberley and Roberto at Fischers Baslow Hall on the 6th June 2009. Luckily it stopped raining and we were able to get some beautiful photographs in the stunning grounds. Thanks to all your family and friends for making me feel so welcome!

It was a pleasure photographing Kirsty and Jonathan on the 9th May at St Peter’s Church Edensor and then at the beautiful East Lodge in Rowsley, Derbyshire. Everybody had a fab day and may I say what a very photogenic couple you both made – Congratulations!!

I have had the pleasure of photographing some beautiful babies recently. After a quick nap – all models need their rest! Samuel donned his new Christmas outfit and also his festive Father Christmas suit – Sam you wear it well!

Baby Jessica was full of smiles and giggles for me, and enjoyed Mummy reading her The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing William, a beautiful old greyhound. Matt and Clare who I photographed their wedding for last year invited me round to take some portraits of William. He really enjoyed the shoot, with ham treats being readily dished out! Feeling festive William even donned his christmas scarf for some of the shots. William I think you look rather noble in these shots
