A beautiful wedding at Bunny Hill..
We were unbelievably lucky that these guys were able to celebrate their wedding day just before lockdown.
I first met Rob & Sue last year, and when they told me they were getting married at Bunny Hill Weddings I was so excited! It’s a venue I’ve been so keen to shoot at for such a long time. Even though it’s quite a journey from Harrogate, it was SO worth the wait!
Fern (my wonderful second photographer) and I set off from Harrogate on the morning of the wedding, and met Rob & the boys at their cricket ground near Beverley. Everyone was in such high spirits, and so grateful that we were still able to celebrate the wedding.
Rob looked so dapper, as did his groomsmen. We got some awesome photos of them all strutting their stuff on the cricket ground, then headed off to meet the beautiful bride.
Sue was getting ready with her bridesmaids and her 3 gorgeous boys at their family home. She really looked beautiful. It was such a touching moment to photographer Sue getting her boys ready on the morning of the wedding. You could tell it was a really special moment for her to see her boys all grown up. They all had matching tuxedos – the same as all the groomsmen. They looked amazing!
After a quick toast to the wedding ahead of them, it was time to head off to Bunny Hill. Despite forgetting the flowers (oops!), Sue & her bridesmaids all arrived in plenty of time. All the guests were ready and waiting, and everyone was so excited for the wedding day ahead.
The ceremony at Bunny Hill was a really emotional one. Rob & Sue shed a few tears as they exchanged their vows, along with most of their guests.
Rob & Sue headed back down the aisle as husband and wife, and then it was time to party! After a whole load of fizz, we all headed outside for confetti which were definitely some of my favourite photos from the wedding. We headed to the woods nearby for some portraits of the bride and groom. On our return, the groomsmen had created a cricket bat guard of honour for the newlyweds! This was a total surprise for Rob and he had absolutely no idea what was going on!
Speaking of surprises, they didn’t end there. Just as the guests were finishing off their meals, all of a sudden the room erupted into song. They had singing waiters! If you’ve never had the pleasure of being at a wedding where there are singing waiters, then I can only apologise. They are SO MUCH FUN. They get everyone up singing, swinging napkins round their heads, dancing on the tables. It really was brilliant. The perfect addition to any wedding day.
That was just the start of the party though, and shortly afterwards everyone got up onto the dancefloor.
I was so thrilled that these guys were able to celebrate their wedding back in March. Particularly at such a beautiful venue, surrounded by their nearest and dearest.
