Yorkshire Wedding Photographer – Sarah & Stephen’s wedding at Crab Manor

YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Sarah & Stephen’s wedding at Crab Manor

 

As a Yorkshire wedding photographer I always feel so lucky that I have so many unique and beautiful venues on my doorstep.  Crab Manor has to be one of my favourites due to it’s quirky interiors and stunning grounds.  There aren’t many wedding venues in the world that feature a giant Yeti !  Not to mention that guests get to enjoy the ambience and renowned food of the Crab & Lobster restaurant for the reception.

Sarah and Stephen tied the knot in April and were blessed by blue skies and warm sunshine – perfect.  I started the day with Sarah and the girls to capture some of the preparations at the hotel.  The Manor was taken over by the couple and their guests so it was wonderful to be able to capture a sense of the build up before the ceremony.  Guests were serenaded in the sunshine by beautiful harp music before the ceremony.

The ceremony room was given some extra love by Lindsay Chalfont from Ambience Venue Styling.  Lyndsay is a close friend of the couple and did a reading for them in the ceremony.  The dappled light with all the decor and antiques looked so great.  I always feel like I’m in a living version of the shop in Bagpuss when browsing the shelves at Crab Manor (I’m showing my age now!).  Stephen’s nephew did an astounding job looking after the wedding rings.

After the ceremony everyone enjoyed drinks in the sunny gardens.  We captured some fun confetti moments as well as a group photograph of all the guests.  The grounds at Crab Manor are stunning and we took a few moments away from the crowd to capture some portraits of the couple.  The pink spring blossom was in full bloom.

The wedding breakfast was served down at the Crab and Lobster restaurant situated at the bottom of the gardens.  It’s so hard to describe in words the interior of the restaurant if you haven’t visited before.  Hopefully the images give you an idea!  During the wedding breakfast each table was given a selfie stick.  This has to be the new phenomenon for the 2015 wedding season!  After all of the wonderful food there was some fantastic speeches.  This is always one of my favourite parts of a wedding to photograph.  Documentary photography works so well in these situations – capturing great reactions from guests alongside the main speakers.

The evening weather stayed good and everyone enjoyed after dinner drinks on the terrace before hitting the dancefloor for Sarah & Stephen’s first dance and evening celebrations.

Huge congratulations again to you both xxx
