Joanna and Michaels Sledmere House wedding
As one of the regions busiest wedding photographers, I recently had the pleasure of capturing Joanna and Michaels Sledmere House wedding.
I started the day with Mike and the lads; who I found having a couple of ‘confidence builders’ at the Goodmanham Arms (fabulous pint but I can’t partake on a wedding day!). Top set of lads, many of whom I know well from my rugby days at Beverley RUFC so I knew it was going to be a great day!
I then travelled across to the stunning Sledmere House (please check out my Sledmere House portfolio) which is located out near Driffield, and I was ready to capture the beautiful Joanna and her Bridesmaids preparations. The ceremony room at Sledmere House really is stunning, and I captured the real emotion of the couple (and guests!) during their service.
This was followed up nicely by drinks, canopies and the usual stress-free and relaxed group shots I am well known for.
FYI – Organising the groups so that they don’t take up too much time, is something that only comes with experience, something that after over 1300 weddings, I have in abundance!
Many thanks to the lovely Lisa and her top team at Sledmere House, who as always provided great professionalism and help on the day.
The very happy couple then had a very relaxed photo session with me around the stunning grounds and classic interiors of Sledmere House, a place I know well, before being whisked away to the Brides farm at Goodmanham for their reception. The fantastic tipi’s were supplied by the guys at Papakata Tipis – a well known and excellent local company – and the wonderful wedding breakfast cooked to perfection by my good friend John Benn at 2 chefs catering. It’s always great when you’re working with people you know well, and after many years of working in this area I’m proud to say I’ve built some great relationships with lots of established wedding vendors across East Yorkshire.
To finish we had a brilliant set of speeches followed by a great night of dancing and fun which was the perfect end to a wonderful wedding day in the countryside. Another wedding that cemented how much I love by job!
