Wedding: Vilma & Alasdair


I have to say I really enjoyed this wedding and not least because all the venues (in North Yorkshire) were new to me. The venue where Vilma got ready is Thornton Watlass and is one of the most stunning family owned halls I've ever seen. I could have happily spent the day there photographing just Vilma. I really hope that I get the opportunity to do an entire wedding at that venue one day. After a very entertaining (and lovely) church ceremony in Bedale Alasdair and Vilma made their back to Excelby in a gorgeous classic Triumph sports car. We managed to stop off on the way a grab a few shots before joining their waiting guests at their home. Yes, the marquee in the last few images below is actually in their own back garden, so please don't email me asking what the venue is called. I'm pretty certain that Alasdair and Vilma will not be going into the wedding business. There was a little rain on the day but only micro showers and as you can see from this few photos the weather was really pretty good. It certainly provided an interesting sky for me.We had a reasonable amount of time before the ceremony for photography. Afterwards, things were a little bit tighter from a time point of view. I believe that one of the indicators of how good a wedding photographer a person is, is what standard of work they can produce when time is short. This wedding was a real test of that. I like to think I did ok. Hopefully, Vilma and Alasdair will agree when they see my album design. In the meantime here are a few of my personal favourites from their wedding day.

Hi Henry
We just got back from our honeymoon to all sorts of lovely reminders of our big day, such as presents and thank you letters but also the eagerly awaited photographs! We were certainly not disappointed on any front - love the photos so far and the layout too and cannot wait to see more.

Yes, things got a little rushed once we got back to the house, but you and Nick worked very hard and we are grateful for your firm hand as otherwise our somewhat disorganised nature might not have produced a great deal of anything too memorable. So thanks again for that but also for sticking around until quite late in the end as we did drag it out a bit with the meal!
Looking forward to seeing the finished album.
Love, Vilma and Alasdair
