When Michael first got in touch back in April 2022 his enquiry said that he was looking for two photographers to take creative and interesting candid photos…challenge accepted!
We had the absolute pleasure of photographing Michael and Kieren's wedding at the stunning Allerton Castle in May, a whole two years after they originally enquired, and what a day it was! If a combination of beautiful, decadent surroundings, black tie dress codes and excellent entertainment is your vibe…this wedding has all the inspiration you need!
Allerton Castle is an incredible venue. Think grand staircases, lush gardens, gorgeous lighting and the most amazing rooms! From getting ready to the dance floor and all the bits in between there was a new backdrop and they were all as stunning as the last.
Being that we are North East wedding photographers we travelled to North Yorkshire the evening before so that we could be there bright and early. Being the fancy folk we are, we stayed in our camper van locally the night before…so turning up here in the morning felt like we had just stepped into an episode of Bridgeton!
What made the day so exciting, aside from the gorgeous venue and the wonderful people, was that there were so many little touches to keep everyone entertained throughout the day. From vintage ice cream bicycles (which went down a treat with everyone - including us) to string quartets and the band in the evening…the day had that lovely feeling of not being rushed, but nobody being bored!
Now, let’s talk about THAT first dance. Making your entrance on a grand staircase? Iconic! To top it off? The bride took to the stage and sang with the band! She did a gorgeous cover of Valerie by Amy Winehouse and absolutely killed it and had everyone cheering and dancing. It was such a personal touch and it would be a lie if we said that we didn’t have a few tears watching her new husband and her grandmother enjoying her performance so much!
Michael and Kieren’s wedding was the perfect blend of elegance and chill vibes. It was such a joy to be a part of and we loved every minute! If you are planning your own Allerton Castle wedding, or are looking for natural wedding photography for your own special event…we would love to hear from you!
