Spending Summer 2018 as a busy wedding photographer!

The schedule of a Beverley and East Riding wedding photographer

It’s been a fantastic 4 weeks of the main summer season, with 12 top weddings and every single one has been a pleasure to cover in my unique and relaxed style!

I really have been a busy Beverley and East Riding wedding photographer this summer, whilst squeezing in plenty of sessions at my leading portrait studio, AND finding time to finish my new exhibition of photography focused on the Chinese people and their way of life.

I’ve traveled across the region this summer, and all 12 weddings had their own personality (see sample shots below), so tailoring my experience of capturing over 1400 weddings to my couples needs and wishes was an important part of the planning. FYI: I find giving a free pre-wedding shoot to all of my clients essential to getting to know them better and helping them to relax for their big day (I’m told some photographers charge for this?!).

Most wedding couples find my newly updated weddings FAQ (frequently asked questions and real advice) page invaluable in choosing their wedding photographer. Its honest and straight forward, and should help you avoid many of the pitfalls and grey areas sometime associated with modern wedding photography – even if we don’t end up working together, there should be some tip top advice in there to help you in your wedding planning.

I’ve put some images captured from our last month of Yorkshire weddings below, please enjoy!!

A review of my 2016 Photography

// Author: Stephen Armishaw // 0 Comments

As a leading Beverley, Hull and East Riding Wedding Photographer it is always great to look back on another fantastic year of fabulous wedding photography and beautiful portraits taken at my Beverley studio; so here is a review of my 2016 Photography .

As usual , we have created some new wedding exhibition albums from our 2016 weddings (across East Yorkshireand those many miles beyond!) and below we have shown a few pages to give an insight into my relaxed and cutting edge work. Shooting unique wedding photography and family portraiture is only a part of my business and I still love capturing top PR photography and commercial work as well as my art and landscapes. Portfolios for all of my work can be found on the website,as well as my Facebook , Pinterest , Twitter , and Instagram sites.

A milestone was passed last year when I shot my 1400th (yes one thousand four hundred!) wedding, yet I still have the same desire to produce different, honest and relaxed wedding photography as when I covered my first (I was a little more nervous then!). Its a pleasure to work regularly at such top venues as Tickton Grange wedding venue, Cave Castle Hotel, Saltmarshe Hall , Lazaat hotel and The Millhouse restaurant to name but a few.

Please checkout my wedding FAQ section in this site for honest advice on choosing your Beverley, Hull and East Riding Wedding Photographer. You may be surprised at some of the “grey areas” and “add ons” some wedding and portrait photographers employ!

Although I am best known for My unique and contemporary wedding photography (remember, I have covered over 1400!),  but I still run one of the busiest family portrait studios in East Riding area, with my central Beverley studio perfect for Hull, Driffield, York, etc . My portrait vouchers are a personal and different present for any occasion especially newborns and family get togethers. They can be for any value and don’t have a time limit for use.  My Beverley portrait studio still produces the modern, contemporary and relaxed family and children photography we always have, as well as top class modelling portfolios. Please checkout my portrait portfolios , which are once again in this site.

I would like to wish all the very best for the New Year to you all, especially friends and clients old and new, and hope to see you soon!

Teri and Andrews Millhouse wedding

Teri and Andrews Millhouse wedding

After nearly 1400 East Yorkshire weddings, and as one of East Ridings leading wedding photographers, it is always a pleasure to work my art at the very contemporary Millhouse at Skidby. My very unique and relaxed wedding photography suited Teri and Andrews Millhouse wedding at the venue perfectly, (and my modern busy portraiture studio is only 10 mins away!).

Starting at Teris lovely home, I captured the relaxed (and on time!) wedding preps before they were whisked off to Skidby Church by Yorkshire wedding cars  Rolls Royce Phantom for a beautiful  service. Teri looked fabulous in her Elite wedding gown and Andy also polished up well!  The happy couple were then carried in style to their wedding breakfast. The reception room at the Millhouse was  beautifully decorated by Cherry Williams and an incredible cake by the multi talented Jill Fisher at Eventuality.

Quickly working through the relaxed informal groups of family and friends was great fun before a well earned drinks break. After capturing so many top Beverley, Hull and East Riding weddings, I find keeping the groups to a minimum keeps my couples and everybody very happy! I then took Teri and Andy into the fab East Yorkshire surroundings and very modern, contemporary interiors of the Millhouse for one of my relaxed and unique wedding photography sessions.

A top wedding breakfast was followed by a night of celebration, drinking and dancing and a opportunity to sample great food in the Millhouses fantastic new BBQ area. As an Evening wedding photography specialist it was great to get the very happy couple out for some different and funky night time shots, we even got to use the Millhouses very own phone box! Ive dropped a few images on here for you to enjoy!

I have worked at this fab venue many times so please checkout their portfolios in this site, on Pinterest > Stephenarmishawphotography and on Instagram > Stephenarmishawphotography

 

Danielle and Craig’s Skidby Millhouse Wedding

// Author: Stephen Armishaw // 0 Comments

It was an absolute pleasure to capture Danielle and Craig’s Skidby Millhouse wedding with a lovely couple, great crowd and one of East Yorkshire’s funkiest wedding venues. After capturing over 1300 weddings at many different locations  it was great to see the recent fab changes at this Skidby venue have worked so well.

After capturing the Bridal preps with Danielle and Her Bridesmaids at a local hotel, we headed into Beverley (where my top portraiture studio is based!) to the Registry Office for an intimate ceremony. Craig was very laid back (even wearing his fav Converse Boots!) and easy to photograph in my relaxed wedding photography style.

After a few group shots in the gardens, we set off to The Millhouse at Skidby to be greeted by Marc, Sasha Kate and the rest of the very professional team at this recently refurbished, and very well designed, venue. A few more informal group shots with a few well earned cool drinks, mixed with plenty of my well known reportage and candid shots set the pace.  The Bride, Groom and myself then headed into the Millhouse’s lovely surroundings for a relaxed photo session  taking us up to the new balcony area for a beautiful wedding breakfast.

Danielle and Craig’s Skidby Millhouse Wedding was a great example of how I cover a relaxed, intimate celebration with the minimum of fuss but still capturing the essence and feeling for a very lovely couple. Please have a look below at some of the images I took from this lovely wedding celebration and perhaps take a look at my Pinterest galleries for Stephen Armishaw Photography.
