I first met Danielle and Kaylan face to face at the Costa Coffee in Shipley to talk about their plans for the wedding. We discussed everything to ensure nothing was missed out on the big day.
So the wedding was at Thorpe Park Spa & Hotel in Leeds. https://www.thorpeparkhotel.co.uk This is a lovely venue that caters amazingly for weddings. While it's a hotel and spa, it seemed like Danielle and Kaylan weren't having to share the space with hotel guests.
I imagine nerves are hightened during getting ready shots. The anticipation of whats to come. However, Danielle and Kaylan didn't show any nerves.
Above is the wedding prep, it was great to be able to capture both Danielle and Kaylan getting ready. It was a great atmosphere in the rooms.
Danielle wanted to get her bridesmaids for sight of the wedding dress reactions. It was an amazing dress and as the reaction shows. It went down well with the bridesmaids.
I always like to capture the little things that make the day from wedding shoes to There chosen perfume and aftershave.
So it was time for the actual ceremony. This was a bright room that looked perfect for a wedding. After the chats with the registrars, it was all go. Danielle's bridesmaid did her proud walking down the aisle before Danielle walked down the aisle with her proud mum.
Big smile and relief from Danielle and Kaylan walking down the aisle as newly wed's. I think its time to enjoy the rest of the day.
So the weather was great, and the outdoor area we had was secluded and just for the wedding party. First things first, let's do the group shot. I prefer to do this as soon as possible before people disperse.
After the big group shot, it makes sense to work through the smaller group shots of family and close friends. Why not have a bit of fun whilst doing them.
The boys had cigars always good to get some cool shots whilst they're smoking the cigars.
There was a lot going on so whilst I concentrate on taking photos of Danielle and Kaylan, Ian the second shooter was capturing reactions from guests.
Time for the speeches before the wedding breakfast. In addition to the usual layout of speeches, Danielle's sister D'arcy (just as a side note, I also captured D'arcy and Matt's wedding a few years earlier, so it was great to catch up with them both). So the speech from D'arcy was great but very emotional.
So the wedding breakfast was next. This is always a good time to change batteries, Sd cards and check what i've captured. As well as eating some food which Danielle and Kaylan kindly arranged for me and Ian.
Bring on the evening do. Danielle and Kaylan got things underway with there spectacular entrance.
The evening party was a great atmosphere, the room was full and everyone dancing.
This was a great day, with brilliant weather, a very nice couple, and lovely guests. The venue at Thorpe Spa & Hotel had everything and catered for the whole wedding party. The timings were as they should have been, and the whole day went really smoothly.
Again, like all the weddings it's sad when its time to go on home after all the build up. But it was really so much fun. All the best to you both and I wish you many happy years together.
