Yorkshire Brides Annual Wedding Industry Awards

I have been working on my entry for the third annual Yorkshire Brides Wedding Industry Awards this week. Not only will my work as a wedding photographer be judged against other wedding photographers from the Yorkshire region but also a secret shopper will have contacted me to assess my customer service to my prospective brides and grooms. Customers past and present have been filling out customer service cards to comment on their thoughts about me, my wedding photographs and overall service. eek!!

One of my brides from last year, Lisa Arnot contacted me to say she had left this comment:
"Annemarie has an exceptional style and approach to her work and outstanding attention to detail... (she)has a confident, professional manner and made me feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera."

Thank you so much Lisa if you are reading - it means a lot to know you enjoyed the wedding photography.

Amanda & Jason's Wedding

Amanda and Jason got married on 12th July and chose Fountains Hall at Fountains Abbey for their ceremony. A location that has to be every wedding photographers dream! A gorgeous sunny day, we shot pictures amongst the ruins before heading off to the Raggalds Inn where I shot one of my favourite pictures of the day - the wind blowing Amanda's veil.

Jayden and his shadow!

Tina & Andrew's Wedding

I had so much fun shooting Tina and Andrew's wedding pictures last week on 11th July. After the ceremony at York Register Office they treated their guests to a sightseeing red bus tour of York.
Everyone had great fun chatting and sipping champagne as we learned a little more about this beautiful city before heading off to Judges Lodgings for the reception.

Congratulations Tina and Andrew - thanks for the ride!

Kelly & Richard's Wedding

I just loved shooting kelly and Richard's glamorous wedding on 5th July. It was a stormy day in Leeds but that didnt stop us shooting some dramatic images when the sun shone through.

Kelly looked amazing in a stunning red wedding gown

Kelly and Richard chose to hold their reception in a marquee decorated with flowers, on a hill high above Leeds City Centre. An amazing view!

Congratulations to Kelly and Richard.

Hannah & Linton's Wedding

On a showery and sunny day on 27th June, Hannah and Linton were married at St Michael and Our Lady, Wragby and held their wedding reception at the stunning Nostell Priory, Wakefield.



Congratulations to Hannah and Linton

Bryony & Ashley's Wedding

Bryony and Ashley chose The Hospitium in York for their wedding. It is a stunning, medieval building right in the heart of historic York. I love shooting pictures there. We used the building as a background but also found time to shoot some stunning romantic images of the couple by the riverside, a short walk away.

Alison & David's Wedding

Just a few of my favourite pictures from Alison and David's wedding on 25th May at the lovely Thorpe Park Hotel, Leeds.

It was a really windy day so although I shot lots of their photographs outside, these are my favourite indoor ones.

Congratulations to Alison and David - thank you for asking me to be a part of your day, I really enjoyed being your wedding photographer.

Lucinda & Andrew's Wedding

Lucinda & Andrew married on 24th May at the beautiful Priory Church at Bolton Abbey.

We shot pictures on the bridge there and up on the moors at the cow and calf at Ilkley ... such a special place with a wonderful view.

It was such a windy day Lucinda was holding her veil in place!!

Congratulations to you both - cant wait for you to see the album design.
