I recently joined Holly & Russ for their wedding photos at Fountains Abbey, with a stunning wedding ceremony The National Trust’s listed Fountains Hall and a wedding reception meal at The Crown in Roecliffe, a gastro pub in North Yorkshire.
It was such a fabulously fun day – and one of the more eccentric weddings I’ve shot this year!
For starters, Holly kicked off the fun ideas by bringing an inflatable dinosaur costume to surprise Russ at their pre-wedding practice shoot! Then the main event had Holly go alternative, in a black wedding gown & veil, with a Spongebob Squarepants keyring in her bouquet in honour of her sadly departed dad’s favourite TV show – then best of all, a very talented friend made them a surprise Cat Litter Wedding Cake(with edible cat poo!) in honour of their beloved squashy face instagram cat star ‘Little P’! This doesn’t even mention her funky shoes or 1948 Bristol vintage bus – or the fact that she grabbed my camera at the bridal preps to shoot me pretending to be James Bond surrounded by adoring bridesmaids. Not pics I get at every wedding…
These guys make for a lovely pair, with Russell’s wry amusement at Holly’s antics and ideas! They complement each other perfectly and apart from a few random summer storms, the day was just perfect!
So, grab y’sen a mug of Yorkshire tea (or a flute of fizz!) and hit play on the slideshow below to check out their wedding highlights slideshow…
I’ll be uploading their full set of images to a password protected client area in just a few weeks, so if you’d like to be notified when all their images go live, register to be alerted at: clients.barnabyaldrick.com/HollyAndRussell (NB: I’ll only use your email address to notify you about their gallery)
And as the slideshow can rattle past favourite pics, here are my fave photos from their special wedding at Fountains Hall in The National Trust’s Fountains Abbey and The Crown gastro-pub at Roecliffe…
What a lovely fun wedding hey?!
And as though the wedding wasn’t unique enough, Holly slipped off during their pre-wedding practice shoot and returned in an inflatable dinosaur costume, to ‘make it less awkward’! 😀
Here’s wishing this wonderfully silly pair huge congratulations, a wonderful life together as husband and wife and a fab honeymoon exploring a whole load of michelin starred gastro spots around the UK on their honeymoon!
