Nick & Beth - Tickton Grange Sunday 23rd May

As a Yorkshire wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of spending today with Nick & Beth as they celebrated their wedding together at Tickton Grange, East Yorkshire. We couldn't really have asked for a better day with blistering temperatures from the morning right until I left the bride and groom at 9pm.

I started early with a visit to Nick and his best man Dan who enjoyed a pancake breakfast in their shorts before getting dressed into their 3 piece suits - and very sharp they looked indeed! After a session with the boys it was off to see Beth at her Mum's house before the ceremony. Beth was very chilled, there was no rush at all and this made for some great photos with her family and her beautiful daughter Bella.

Just a short drive upto Tickton Grange for the ceremony conducted by a very 'spunky' registrar which made for a great atmosphere. We did our group shots on the lawn in the shade from the blaring sun and I finished hanging out of Room 4's window to get the whole wedding party together - I do feel like a wedding photography stuntman sometimes!

After dinner had been served, Beth, Nick and I had a great 'Penny Drop Session' around the grounds of the Grange and we created some really beautiful images. It was great to get them alone for half an hour and the sun really helped coming in from behind and at a super angle.

I actually shot more images today then at any other wedding - over 1800 shots! I'll spend the next few days whittling this down to about 350-400 to show Nick and Beth when they get back from their honeymoon.

All in all a super day - and I even got a tan!
