DEBBIE'S COUTURE WEDDING GOWN FROM JENNY PACKHAM AT CRATHORNE HALL HOTEL IN NORTH YORKSHIRE

I come across many beautiful wedding gowns and dresses, but one of my favourites was Deborah's when she married Rick at Crathorne Hall Hotel - a Jenny Packham couture wedding gown - quite beautiful!

CHILDREN AT WEDDINGS .....

I love having children at weddings, they bring a life and vitality to the proceedings .. if they're well behaved of course!

Luckily, I haven't come across one badly behaved child in the past 6 years and usually they are lucky enough to have good parents who offer them a lot of love and support.

I have hundreds of lovely images from weddings of children enjoying their day, and there's quite a few on this blog already, but editing a wedding recently I came across this one from last summer that I had forgotten about .. it's a great image from Rick and Deborah's wedding at Crathorne Hall in North Yorkshire

BEAUTIFUL BRIDEMAIDS AND PAGE BOY AT NICOLA AND DAVID'S WEDDING

I was ploughing through some images from recent weddings today for a new video slideshow I'm putting together for my website, on Google Video, YouTube and MySpace.

I had a good response from the last one and potential brides and grooms seemed to appreciate the opportunity to get a feel for my work as a wedding photographer with a certain style and personal attention.

This is one of the photographs I had overlooked last time and now it really catches my eye.

I'm not sure if it works better as a colour image or as a black and white photograph, but I do like it a lot. It was taken at Nicola and David's Wedding at St Mary Magdeline Church at Hart Village on the outskirts of Hartlepool - a really picturesque Saxon church with a sense of history and purpose, and a great favourite with brides in the area.

The bridesmaids and page boy were delightful and we made some great photographs later in the day at the reception at Hardwick Hall at Heselden Village.

Proposal Photography

Proposal Photography is becoming more popular in the USA according to the New York Times in a recent article.

I think that as long as the fiancee-to-be and the photographer think it through properly this could work out really well for a couple - especially if we create a small hardback photobook from the event.

Pre-wedding commissioned photography comes with all our wedding photography options and these have always proved popular, whether they are with just-engaged couples or prospective brides and grooms who have been together many years.

It's a time for us to bond a little, get to know more about your hopes and dreams for the big day, and also to create some really nice relaxed images of you both together.

BUT, if you fancy having your big moment when you propose to the love of your life captured forever, I'd love to be there!

Ring photograph (what a ring!!) courtesy of Teedah and Ajey's wedding at Slaley Hall in Northumberland!

... AND, according to a survey - doncha love surveys.... :) Ernest Jones Jewellers says that 67% of under 29 year olds popped the BIG question with a ring, aaaahhhhhh, romance isn't dead!
