Becky & James - KP Club - Pocklington

As a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, I finally shot a wedding at the stunning KP Club in Pocklington yesterday. James and Rebecca's big day was absolutely amazing!

I arrived early in the morning to spend some time with the boys who were glued to the Playstation battling on Fifa 2010 in the most chilled of moods! The KP Club has 13 log cabins in their grounds where the wedding party spent the night before, enjoying the hot tubs, drinks and card games late into the night by all accounts! The log cabins have tonnes of light and make a perfect environment to shoot the bride and groom's preparations.

After a super session with the boys, I went over to Becky's lodge and photographed her preparations – Becky and James are a super cool couple, they love fashion, art and are really modern – my camera was not short of original scenes to shoot all day.

After a hilarious civil ceremony, where James questioned the registrar if it really was in the marriage contract that his wife gets everything, we took the wedding party outside for the group shots around KP's infinity pool – I did the shots as quickly as humanly possible as it was really cold – but the show must go on even if Mother Nature throws us a curve ball. As if by magic, I finished the group shot of the whole wedding party and only at that point did it start to rain!

I did manage to find a break in the weather just before the wedding breakfast to get James and Becky outside for their 'Penny Drop Session' and got some amazing shots mixing off camera lights with the landscape over the Yorkshire Dales.

After a lovely meal, James and Becky's jazz band struck up and provided the coolest of musical backgrounds to chill out to before the evening guests arrived. I managed to get James and Becky outside one more time to do some long exposures using the lights of the KP Club and also the full moon! I left at 9pm with the wedding party tearing up the dancefloor, James was doing 'The Robot' and Becky was just been cool (in her Converse at this point I may add)

I can't wait to share their story with them in a couple of weeks time when they get back from their 'minimoon'.
