Bagden Hall / Clayton West Wedding: Robin & Faye

Over 18 months ago I met Robin & Faye to discuss their wedding, I can't believe how fast that time flew by. Robin was a guest at Hannah & Sam's wedding, which was one of the first weddings I photographed back in January 2010. I was thrilled that Hannah & Sam kindly recommended me to their friends.  

Robin & Faye were planning their wedding in my hometown of Huddersfield, so I was thrilled to have a good excuse to return! Their wedding took place at All Saints Church in Clayton West, with the reception at Bagden Hall, in between Denby Dale and Scissett. I was thrilled that Vanessa Adams joined me as second photographer. 

They chose bright and vibrant colours for their wedding of purple, colbalt blue and hot pink. They surprised their guests with a London bus from Red Bus Days to get them to and from the church. 

They really wanted to have some laid back and quirky wedding photography, and we had lots of fun with both the group and couples photographs.

St Helens at Whitley Chapel - Marquee wedding (Katherine & Andrew)


Katherine and Andrew got married at St. Helens at Whitley Chapel, Northumberland, followed by a marquee reception on their farm.

They had a very laid back and personal day, the church service was conducted by the Vicar who the couple have known for many years, and who conducted a personal and moving service. The marquee was decorated by various family members and friends.

This is a local wedding tradition, where the gate is tied and the couple have to 'pay the children' (eg. by throwing coins over the gate) to be allowed through. Love it!

The relaxed farm theme was kept throughout the day - Katherine & the bridesmaids wore wedding wellies all day (yes the bride walked down the aisle in them!) and there were straw bales (not haybales- as I was corrected!) outside the marquee and even cow themed table numbers.

The couple travelled in a model T ford car, complete with a doggie dressed with a ribbon.
