Doncaster Engagement Shoot { Jacqui & Craig }

I met up with Jacqui and Craig at historic Cusworth hall, just outside Doncaster. Jacqui in particular was very nervous about being photographed. She told me that she always looks awful in photos. I tried to put them both at ease, and we had a good laugh along the way! As we got chatting, Jacqui soon forgot that she was being photographed. She needn’t have worried, as she looks simply stunning – as you can see in the photos below! If the two of them look this good on a freezing cold grey January morning, then I can’t wait to see what they look like on a beautiful Spring day in April! There big day is only 8 weeks away, when I’ll be covering the big day at The Crown Hotel in Bawrty. Can’t wait!

Mount Pleasant Wedding Photography { Gemma & Adam }

Snow, snow and more snow formed the backdrop to Gemma and Adam’s wedding reception which I photographed at Mount Pleasant, Doncaster . The wedding ceremony took place at one of my favourite churches, St Lawrence’s Church, Hatfield, Doncaster. Architecturally the church is impressive and provided a fantastic setting for their wedding photography. The church also has an interesting history filled with intrigue, which added to the atmosphere of the big day .

The Reverend Paul Wilson carried out the wedding service. I have always found his services to be full of humour and love and this occasion was no exception, he made the ceremony personal and memorable for the bride and groom. Paul is also a great photographer in his own right.

As Gemma & Adam walked down the aisle as husband and wife, they were met with one of the heaviest blizzards in living memory, as they left the church! The reception was held at the Mount Pleasant Hotel, a journey which ordinarily takes only 10 minutes, took 45 minutes due to the weather. On arrival at Mount Pleasant everyone was served wine and cocktails which soon warmed up the wedding party!

Gemma & Adam were fantastic clients to work with, and both looked truly beautiful throughout the day. Thank you for letting me photograph and capture your big day, a short collection of my favourite photos can be found below.
