Sam & Mark - Cave Castle Hotel, South Cave 11th September

Sam and Mark were married at the Cave Castle Hotel, South Cave on Saturday 11th September and as a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer I had the pleasure of spending their special day capturing their story.

The day started early in Swanland where Mark and his crew were getting ready, I found 4 very chilled out Groomsmen on my arrival and even had time for a cup of coffee before cracking on with the photography! I love spending an hour or so with the boys before leaving for the bride, it gives me the chance to really get to know the boys who I will be spending the day with. We did some cool protraits inside the house and then hit the streets to create some modern group shots stopping the morning traffic as we worked!

Sam was getting ready at home with her family and her 3 bridesmaids who were all wearing co-ordinating dressing gowns and were in the best of form! After the usual hustle and bustle of getting the bride ready, Sam looked amazing and was a joy to photograph!

Their reception at cave Castle was just perfect and I have to say the wedding cake was definitely the most intricate, classy piece I have ever seen with a really emotional story behind the talent who created this masterpiece.

Inspired speeches followed a beautiful meal accompanied by a pianist playing Sam's favourite Disney numbers. As the night drew in, Sam, Mark and i went off for our 'Penny Drop' session down by the lake and I'm never short of inspiration at Cave Castle's grounds - even the downpour couldn't ruin our session as we just ducked under some trees and kept on shooting!

The night was ended by a dramatic firework display and dancing into the early hours! i can't wait to share their story with them when they get back from their honeymoon!
