Danielle & David.  Doncaster.

26/1/2018

2 Comments

 

My second to last wedding of last year had me nipping down the road to Doncaster for the wedding of Danielle and David. 

The day started at the couple's home for the Bridal prep - another room full of women for me to terrorise by pointing a camera at them!  It was all good fun, and the time soon flew by.  Wasn't even any nerves showing ...  So far. 
Midway through the prep I walked a hundred yards down the street to the Groom's parents' house and grabbed a few shots of the fellas getting ready too.  In typical men fashion - this took about 3 minutes flat!
Back to the Bridal party and dresses were all on and pretty soon the car arrived.  A pretty awesome stretched New York Checker cab.

Convoy to the venue time.

The rest of the day was all held at Castle Park - the home of the Doncaster Knights Rugby Club.

After a quick snap of the Bridal Party, I scampered inside to find David patiently waiting at the end of the aisle.  Looking rather nervous I must say!
He needn't have worried - his beautiful Bride-to-be soon followed the bridesmaids down the aisle to take her rightful place by his side.  Time to get down to business!
The vows were soon spoken, rings were exchanged, kisses were kissed and smiles-for-miles were the order of the day!  Maybe one or two tears too!

After kicking us out while the room got flipped, we braved the cold and went outside for a few snaps.  The low winter sun was pretty brutal, and the grounds aren't the greenest place for portraits, but we managed to sneak a few in.

It was soon back inside for an afternoon of food, drink, dancing and love.

And a few more drinks.  A proper good old Yorkshire knees-up!

Thanks for having me guys - you were both awesome!


Here are a few snaps from their day - 'The One Where They Got Married'.

New Year Getaway.  Scotland.

6/1/2018

0 Comments

 

After a nice, relaxing Christmas, we headed up to Scotland to spend the New Year. 
We'd booked an awesome converted barn 30 miles south west of Dumfries on the coastline near Gatehouse of Fleet. 
It was a bit cold for our usual walks, not to mention that a few of us were struggling with the usual winter lurgy, so we pretty much just chilled out with a few little explores in the car.  A lovely hidden gem was an old abandoned Kirk pretty much at the bottom of our driveway.  We visited this a few times while we were there.  I spent an hour on New Year's Eve freezing to death shooting some star photos in the graveyard.
We visited Castles and Cairns.  Had a few little walks along beaches in tiny bays and stood on the beach watching the sunset.  Went and had a nosey at the awesome Coo Palace - a Palatial Dairy Farm that is currently being refurbished into holiday apartments.  Me and my little ginger had fun exploring a shipwreck on the coastline near Kirkcudbright.  We visited Dundrennan Abbey - the place where Mary Queen of Scots spent her last night in Scotland.  Like most of the other tourist spots though - it was closed, so we had to settle for views through the gateway.  We visited the lovely little Kirk at Kirkandrews and a few other local spots. 

We ate too much, drank too much, and pretty much saw in the New Year as chilled out as can be.

Happy New Year folks.  Here are a few snaps from our trip. 

Gear used.  Fujifilm X70, Fujifilm Xpro2, Fuji 35mm, Fuji 50-230mm, Samyang 12mm
