Wedding at Sandburn Hall near York

These are a few shots from a recent wedding we did near York, the wedding was at a church in a lovely little village called Strensall and then the reception was a few miles away at Sandburn Hall. The weather unfortunately was pretty bad, rain followed by prolonged periods of rain but the couple were really relaxed and didn’t let it get to them, probably a little bit more relaxed after the “I Do’s” but that’s to be expected. Sandburn hall has a bit of a barn like feel with loads of wooden floors and beams to make use of and some big windows for great natural light shots. It’s always good to have a nice interior to work with when it’s difficult to get outside.
I really feel I’ve been very fortunate with the couples I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this year and this was no exception. The bride was so photogenic, I kept going more outlandish with the poses and she still looked great! I’m posting a few shots here and a small gallery for friends and family, there are quite a few Black and Whites but the couple will get both colour and mono versions in high resolution on the DVD to print at their leisure.

Some quick shots on a classic red bus

Some shots at the car, between cloud bursts, nice sky though

Smiling brides make great photos

Great big windows and diffused light also help

Sometimes photos don't need direct eye contact
