Kerry & Chris @ Aston Hall - 24th April 2010
Fabulous day on Saturday and probably one of the best weather days to date this year.
Kerry & Chris decided on our full package which included preparation photography of both bride and groom and an extension into the evening, covering speeches and first dance. We say first dance, but in reality our day normally finishes around 10pm and on this occasion we were able to take full advantage of the clear night sky and mild conditions to grab a few shots outside of both bride and groom with the Aston Hall building as backdrop beautifully lit as usual.
Their ‘wedding–photography’ day started out at Aston Hall at 9.30am and managed to take all the necessary shots of the groom and his team of 7 ushers + pageboy within an hour.
I was privileged enough to accompany them limo style courtesy of americanpie limos in their flagship 30 feet white Hummer and during the course of the journey managed to get some rather characterous shots of the guys enjoying champagne and their selection of loud rap music .
A 30 minute journey saw our arrival at Sacred Heart Church a beautiful 19th Century Church set in a surprisingly tranquil and well hidden area in Hillsborough, Sheffield, quite close to the Old Army Barracks now famously known as Morrisons Supermarket.
My colleague and partner Sue joined me at the church about 20 minutes before the bridesmaids and bride arrivals.
Sacred Heart Church has a gallery overlooking the main hall which allowed Sue to capture some stunning photographs of the whole proceedings whilst I was as usual positioned up front for the more intimate close ups.
Afterwards the wedding party moved back to Aston Hall where theye were greeted with Champagne and canapés.
Photography continued with reportage coverage and some special shots of the Bride & Groom in the grounds at Aston Hall before being called to the line up at 3.45pm
During the meal we were able to snatch a few minutes to eat and refresh ourselves ready for the following speeches and then evening celebrations.
The end of the photographer’s day completed at 10.30pm .
We are looking forward to the viewing for Kerry & Chris in approx 1 week.
