Wakefield wedding photographer: Nick & Roz at Woolley Church

Nick and Roz married today at Woolley Church followed by a reception at The 3 Acres in Emley. Nick and Roz knew my work as a Wakefield wedding photographer from Nick’s brother Simon whose wedding we covered in Florence last year and kindly booked me for their big day. We began with the usual bridal prep photos at their cottage in Woolley from where we could see the church across the fields to the rear of the house. Although we had a rough schedule of timings from the pre-wedding meeting, things began to go awry with the hair and make-up girls living in a totally different time continuum to everyone else and at 12:15 they began to work on the bride. Considering the wedding was at 13:00 this was cutting it fine, especially as they estimated an hour to do their work! In an effort to not lose all the photo opportunities, we headed to the church to shoot Nick and the ushers before returning to the house to chivvy the MUA. Thank heavens the church was so close. Eventually, all preps were done and Roz stepped into the dress and then it was a frantic 20mins of photography of the bride, bridesmaids and Roz’s dad before dashing off to the church somewhat after 1pm!

The weather was fabulous for the whole day and we were able to shoot with the bridal party and the bride and groom at the church, then with Nick and Roz back at their beautiful house before heading up to Emley to join the rest of the guests at the 3 Acres for the wedding breakfast. The evening light was superb and gave us another chance to catch up on any group shots we’d missed due to the wedding ceremony running late. I have loads of images I’d love to post from the wedding but here are just a few to give a flavour of a wonderful English summer wedding.
