Louise and James’ Cave Castle Wedding
As one of the fabulous Cave Castles recommended wedding photographers it is always a pleasure to be shooting there with a lovely couple and their family and friends, and I’m happy to say that Louise and James’ Cave Castle Wedding day was just that!
Starting at Louise’s home in Preston, East Yorkshire I captured the bridal preparations with her entourage of lovely bridesmaids. The stunning dress was by the excellent Bridal Boutique in Sutton, Hull and the flowers by the Floral Lounge, also of Sutton. It was then off to Preston All Saints to meet with the main man James, and his attendants!
With perfect timing, Louise was whisked to church by East Riding Cars and was escorted by her Father for the beautiful and emotional wedding ceremony to begin.
Following the ceremony, I quickly captured the main groups together and after shooting some intimate images back in the church, we were on our way to the stunning Cave Castle venue for the reception and wedding breakfast. I have photographed almost 200 weddings at Cave Castle Hotel, so I know all the special places to shoot no matter what the weather and timings, so even though we had a little rain on the day, it was no problem at all to capture some beautiful memories. Having a great relationship with the Cave Castles staff like I do, helps keep the day flowing nicely too.
Following welcome drinks, I swiftly gathered and shot the remaining groups (quickly and efficiently taking the wedding guest groups is something I am well known for!) then I captured some more reportage images, whilst the happy couple mixed and met their guests.
The now very relaxed couple then joined me for a session of classic, yet very funky, photography around and inside the fabulous buildings and grounds, before our top toast master Mike Wall introduced them with his own brand of cheering, leading them into their reception. A typically fab cave castle wedding breakfast followed and some great speeches from the top table which had a great mix of emotion and comedy to keep the room entertained.
After a break mixing with their guests (and a good few drinks!) the very happy (and now full of food too!) couple chose to have another relaxed and very different photo session with me. This is where my vast experience of over 1300 weddings comes in, and still managing to make each wedding different to the last.
A great night with DJ Steve Jackson was had dancing the night away (see images below!) and to finish things off, some of my specialist night time shots. A great day and evening with a lovely couple, top crowd and amazing venue. Please checkout some images from the wedding below and also have a look at my wedding portfolio pages on the website, and if you are looking to book your wedding at Cave Castle please feel free to give me a call for your photography needs.
