I remember this wedding day for all the right reasons – an awesome bride and groom, gorgeous weather and a fantastic venue.
I arrived at Irnham Hall bright and early on a beautiful spring day. Niki was full of excitement and she had a beaming smile on her face throughout her bridal prep. Niki and her bridesmaids all looked stunning in their dresses and within no time they were wedding ready. Just before we were due to leave for church the heavens opened which added to the drama. Thankfully, just as we turned up at ….. church the rain had passed and Niki, after a quick snack on some Pringles, was ready to get married. It was a lovely service with some really heartfelt moments. Andrew was in fine form and really looked the part.
Back at Irnham hall everyone mingled in the supurb walled garden grounds, this venue really does lend itself to a relaxed informal setting. The forecast was sunshine and showers, which created some dramatic lighting. I was keen to capture as much as I could for Niki and Andrew and they happily obliged to nip out for more photos. After some great speeches and fantastic food, the evening entertainment was underway; everyone got involved in right old sing-song. The light on many occasions was just perfect but none more so than around sunset time. We took a short drive up the hill so I could get a nice backdrop across Corby glen. It was magic, we spent 15 minutes with a glorious sunset before we headed back to continue the party long into the night.

It was nice early start on a perfect summers morning. I’d been looking forward to photographing Sacha and Marks wedding at Normanton buy std antibiotics church for some time. They’re a lovely couple to work with as I found out from their engagement shoot earlier in the year.
Sacha had a house full over at her mums and there was a real air of excitement, everyone had a spring in their step.
All the final touches had been applied and Sacha looked stunning, her dress suited her perfectly. After a few photos in the garden it was time to make our way to Normanton Church. Although we had a slight problem, one of the wedding cars had broken down, so a quick fix was to squeeze 3 bridesmaids into my car amidst the car gear, it made for an amusing journey…..
Traditionally late, the bride arrived at a blustery but gorgeous Normanton church. With her veil swaying in the wind and a beaming smile on her face she made her way to the church entrance.
Once the all clear had been given the groom and guest could make their way from the car park to the church. Mark, in eager anticipation seemed slightly nervous, as expected, and once inside his facial expression emphasised just that. Sacha made her grand entrance; it was lovely to see such emotion between them as they exchanged vowels.
After the service the bridal party stayed back whilst the rest of the guest headed to the Haycock Hotel. We spent 20 minutes at Normanton church capturing some iconic photography in this perfect Rutland setting.
Back at the Haycock everyone enjoyed the beautifully kept gardens and a welcome drink or two, whilst the summer sun beamed down and some lovely music in the background played. I managed to capture all the family images required in good time so this meant the bride and groom had some quality time to themselves.
The wedding breakfast and speeches went down extremely well and it seemed everyone was enjoying the atmosphere. Just before the first dance we took a short drive to some newly harvest fields. The sun was low in the sky and the fields where a golden colour in the evening light, a perfectly romantic way to see the last moments of daylight in.
It was then back to the Haycock to spend the rest of the night dancing and socialising to the early hours.
Fantastic wedding day

What a fantastic wedding day at Greetham Valley. I visited Beccy early morning to capture some pre wedding getting ready pictures, she was amazingly calm and relaxed. Greetham valleys rooms are great for window light so i took advantage of this for the prep photography. The morning raced by and it was soon time for the wedding ceremony. The registrar’s allow you to take pictures throughout the ceremony which is always lovely, this way i can capture every intimate moment. Some deep and meaningful words were exchanged and before long they were married. The fun continued throughout the day and i was always kept busy with my camera, photographing the bride and groom, group pictures, the little ones charging about and also a spot of golf….
After a lovely meal and fantastic speeches we were lucky to get outside; the dying sun looked stunning over the rolling hills of rutland.
The nights entertainment begun, and Jamie’s dad’s dance floor antics proved to be very popular,
Lovely wedding couple, all the best for the future.
