Georgina and Gareth were married at Matfen Hall earlier this year. Just in time for the snowdrops.

What a wonderful colour choice to warm up the winter! The bedrooms at Matfen are lovely to photograph the getting ready time in. How long you would like me to be at your getting ready is up to you, or even if you prefer me not to photograph this part of your day.

As I am quietly there without interference it's a great opportunity to capture the reality of this time.

And then it is all changed, you are married and preparations turn to celebrations.

And everyone has such fun!

I received a lovely thank you card from Georgina and Gareth. " We just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful photographs you took at our wedding. We were keen to have a small, intimate wedding and you captured the spirit of it beautifully. We really appreciated the way you melted into the background and everybody felt so comfortable. Best wishes, Georgina and Gareth.

Christine and Gordon were married at Matfen Hall in December. It was very wet outside but it's a wonderful winter location inside! And how nice the cakes looked.

Congratulations and wishing you all the best x

Henrietta and Alastair were married in the Great Hall at Matfen Hall which gives a fabulous entry for the bride and bridesmaids. But first some getting ready time in the Hotel.

I work quietly, taking shots unobtrusively and then a moment when Henrietta looks at me and smiles.

It's a lovely bedroom full of natural light from it's large windows. Gorgeous.

For each wedding I receive a list of the group photos the couple would like. I like to let the group get comfortable.

Coming down the stairs into the great Hall is a lovely entrance to the ceremony. These photos were taken without needing to ask anyone to pause.

Going with the flow, in this case some spontaneous confetti throwing.

And then some more confetti throwing.

Matfen Hall gardens are very pretty so we made use of the dappled light and shade.

My favourite kind of portrait, beautiful light, unaware of the camera.
