Danielle & Pete

Falcon Manor is an elegant country house on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales – a place I love. It’s not just the contemporary chic interior, the beautifully intimate grounds as a backdrop for stunning wedding photos, but there are opportunities to capture some beautiful portraits in the surrounding area… and that is what Danielle and Pete had.

Most of the wedding day, I shoot unobtrusively and document the story as it unfolds. As Danielle, Pete and the boys got on with their preparations I’d flit from room to room; from scene to scene, capturing every moment. The maid of honour added a commemorative brooch for Danielle’s bouquet. It had a photo of grandad – a very touching detail and one which added a few more tears on the day!

The Garden Room at Falcon Manor is perfect for a wedding ceremony. Beautifully intimate and with a set of fluffy lampshades, light cascades through the window and is reflected and refracted through ornate mirrors. The moment Pete saw Danielle walk down the aisle it was tissues and tears aplenty. It seemed Grandad was looking down on them, too.

Amongst the tears there was definitely the laughter, too. After a few family photos, it was time to take a little time out to get those portraits with stunning views across the Yorkshire Dales. Danielle and Pete took time out to have a moment to themselves and the perfect portraits were done. Then it was back to the party, to a few more tears and the telling of a wonderful story.
