Wentbridge House Hotel

Our last wedding in August took us to St. Cuthbert's Church in Ackworth before going on to the Wentbridge House Hotel for the reception. We have been regular visitors to Wentbridge House this year and have noticed a distinct improvement there recently. The staff are very helpful, even suggesting that we have a little longer for the photographs, as the schedule was pretty tight. The grounds have also been improved and the food looks great! The bridesmaids looked pretty in pink and all the girls were good fun, diving for the bouquet and leaping into the air at Sarah's suggestion. Sarah and James had brought the band Madison over from Liverpool, and they really were excellent. Between Madison and Winston, Wentbridge's regular DJ, the dance floor was packed all night and we were quite sorry when it was time to leave to leave as the dancing was so entertaining to watch! At least they can re-live it all over again with their wedding DVD.

Cutler's Hall, Sheffield

This week-end we had a journey down to Sheffield for the wedding of Sophia and Andrew. This was a new venue for us, and what a venue it is! The Cutler's Hall is in the heart of Sheffield, directly opposite the cathedral, the fairly unpretentious exterior gives no suggestion of the amazing architecture inside. Sophia originally comes from Malaysia, so I knew that this wedding would be both colourful and different. In the evening Sophia changed into a traditional dress, which necessitated a walk to the nearby Novotel in order to change, which gave us the opportunity to take some great "urban wedding" shots on the way. I love doing alternative types of shots like these. The Sheffield Eye was just too good to miss! Next week-end it's back to the Waterton Park hotel where we have two weddings two days in a row.
