Thief Hall - Laura and Sandra
Laura and Sandra’s wedding at Thief Hall in North Yorkshire was our first time visiting this venue. It’s situated between Northallerton and Thirsk. and is a blank canvas wedding venue that allows you to do whatever you please. It is a converted barn with incredible views of the surrounding countryside and offers on-site cottages for guests.
Laura and Sandra’s wedding was one that we had been looking forward to for a long time. We first met Laura way back in 2010 when we photographed her sister Rachel’s wedding at Langley Castle. Her parents are in the wedding industry as well, so over the course of time, we got to know the family well. Laura is one of those people who is so much fun to spend time with, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her without a smile on her face. She found her soulmate in Sandra, who is one of the most warm-hearted people I have ever met.
As Laura and Sandra are regular churchgoers, bringing religion into their day was important to them. Sadly, at the moment, the church does not perform same-sex weddings or official blessings - I hope that one day this may change, so they married the day before in a short private ceremony. Their Priest, Reverend John, who also married Rachel, joined us for the day - and on his birthday too, to perform a ceremony for them. It was wonderful and emotional to see, and I won’t pretend that I didn’t shed a few tears.
The day continued on with live music by Last Anthem, cocktails, dancing on the terrace, a special musical performance by Laura’s niece and nephew, and at the end of the day, the most stunning sunset.
Their day was perfection, and I am so happy we were able to be a small part of it.

“Chrissie and Nigel. Wow, wow, wow. We got your email last night and we are all at my sister's. We topped up our glasses and had a slide show of them. We are absolutely overwhelmed by how amazing they are. We are so so pleased with them, thank you so much. Genuinely thank you so much, we LOVE them. You guys are amazing.” - Laura and Sandra.
Haselbury Mill - Karina and Scott
Karina had head about our photography and had been following our work for some time, so when Scott proposed and she said yes, she got in touch to ask us to photograph her big day. The big day arrived and Nigel and I travelled down to Somerset to photograph their wedding. They were married in the picture perfect village church of St Michaels and All Angels Church in East Coker followed by a barn reception at Haselbury Mill and Tythe Barn near Crewkerne in Somerset. It was a day filled with fun and laughter, and a joy to be a part of.
