Bagden Hall Wedding | Sarah & Richard

Ceremony: All Saints Church, Darton, Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Reception: Bagden Hall, Scissett, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Fast forward to October and I was back at Bagden Hall again to photograph Richard and the boys getting ready for his wedding while Gav was off doing the same with Sarah and the girls. I'm old enough to remember a certain Phil Collins doing the suit and converse trainers look in the early 80's, although I doubt if he inspired Richard to adopt it on his wedding day. It was a great individual touch and perfectly summed up the day.

The autumnal tints were just starting to show in the grounds of the hall, particularly on the old golf course, which is now wonderfully overgrown and photographically 'interesting'. 
when the boys were all ready a classic VW camper van arrived to take them to the church and I set off to get there before them. It was lucky I did because Gav passed me as I was going into the church - his satnav was telling him the church was a mile away! 

Sarah and Richard didn't stop smiling all day and their obvious joy was infectious - all their guests (and their 2 photographers) had a great time.

I wonder what Sarah is whispering to Richard in the last photo...

Bagden Hall Wedding | Ruth & Ben








Ceremony & reception: Bagden Hall, Scissett, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Second-shooting with Gav Harrison

It was great to be back at Bagden Hall, one of our favourite venues. It was a beautiful late August day as well so we were able to take full advantage of the gardens. Ruth and Ben were great fun to be with, constantly joking and pulling faces (as you can see). 
The outdoor games, such as Giant Jenga offered some great photo opportunities but the highlight was definitely the wedding cake, which was just a big pile of cheese - heaven!

Congratulations to Ruth & Ben and thanks for a most enjoyable day's work.
