Helen & Andrew's Wedding

We seem to be getting a little behind with the blog again - apologies! We've been so busy with the weddings it's taken a bit of a back seat again as we're concentrating on editing & album designs. Will do our best to get at least one blog post a week done from this week :-)

Helen & Andrew's wedding took place in May at St. Mary's Church in Barnard Castle. It's a stunning church in the centre of town and has great architecture including a fantastic doorway around the back of the church which we used for a few formal shots after the service.

We then headed up to The Bowes Museum with Helen & Andrew - Helen has some useful contacts and pulled a few strings so we could take some photos there, great to have friends in high places! We'd been lucky with the weather so far despite a very stormy looking sky, so we didn't hang about too long and headed off to The George Hotel at Piercebridge where the reception was to be held.

The hotel is by a river & a beautiful bridge which we used as a backdrop for the family photos & some shots of Helen & Andrew before their meal. Helen & Andrew booked our Silver Package which included coverage up to the speeches, which are often our favourite part of the day to photograph as you get so many natural emotions. Helen & Andrew also ordered Thank You cards from us to send to their guests when they returned from their honeymoon in Canada (so jealous!), more details on these here.

Here are some of our favourite shots from the day:

The girls in Helen's parent's back garden before they left for the ceremony - starting to get a little breezy!

Andrew & his groomsmen heading into the church.

We love shots that tell a story - Andrew chats to his best men Sam & Pete, unaware that his bride to be is waiting in the church doorway and the vicar is on his way back up the aisle to start the service.
