Crathorne Hall is one of our favourite wedding venues in the north east, it's such a grand building and the interior of the hall is fantastic as well - which comes in very useful on wet days like the one we had for Sam & Brad's big day!
We started the day with Sam's bridal preparations at Crathorne. The bedrooms are a good size, so even with Sam's 4 bridesmaids and her parents, and us, we had plenty of space. Alison stayed to photograph Sam getting in to her dress while I went to meet Brad and the boys for a few shots before the ceremony.
After the ceremony we quickly got a few shots outside, which was lucky as it started to chuck it down in true British style. The rain continued through the wedding breakfast, but luckily we had an hour's break in the weather later on to get outside for some more group shots and photos of Sam & Brad on their own.
Then we headed back inside for the evening reception. Sam & Brad had hired Sunshine Daze, with John playing saxophone throughout the day and the rest of the band joining him to provide the evening entertainment. We really enjoyed photographing Sam & Brad's big day, and are looking forward to our bookings at Crathorne Hall next year.
Samanther looked amazing in her dress, her sister did the honours with lacing up the corset back
The boys looked very smart too!
We were lucky to get this shot of the outside of the hall after the meal, the clouds were already looking ominous and opened up about 3 minutes after we took these shots!
The room looked fantastic with the candlelight really adding to the atmosphere.
Brad's best man Chris had a number of embarrassing photos of Brad which were shown to all the guests during his speech!
We got some more shots done after the wedding breakfast, the early evening light was perfect.
