Holly and John's wedding at Bempton Church and Sledmere House

We first met Holly & John last year when they came to talk to us about their big day. We instantly hit it off and knew we would be great for their day, so when they confirmed, we were pretty excited. Their wedding was to take place at Bempton Church in East Yorkshire, followed by a trip to the beach on the north side of Bridlington, finishing at Sledmere House in Driffield, East Yorkshire.

Bridal preps in Bempton

Their date soon came around, and we found ourselves at Holly’s parents’ house in Bempton for the bridal preps. As we arrived, we had a great welcome from Holly, her bridesmaids and her parents, which put us totally at ease. Everyone was in great spirits, and no nerves seemed to be showing at all.

We managed to take Holly’s dress and the bridesmaids’ dresses outside and hang them on a tree to get some super cool shots, as well as some hair and make-up shots inside the house. Once we had all the shots we needed, it was time to drive the short distance (about 20 seconds) to Bempton Church for some groom photography.

As with the girls, John and his groomsmen were as cool as anything and ready for the ceremony to get started. We got some great shots of the boys and the guests arriving while we waited for Holly.

Beach huts at Bridlington and Sledmere House

The ceremony went perfectly, and as we had probably the most beautiful sunny day of the year, we cracked on with the group images and headed down to the north side of Bridlington to make the most of an amazing beach shoot.

Once there, we were told about the most amazing colourful beach huts that we could work into our shots, along with the sea and the beautiful surroundings. After lots of jumping, running and cool shots in front of the huts, we needed to head over to the front of Sledmere House for a couple more shots, then fish and chips for their wedding breakfast.

As always, Sledmere House looked stunning, and Holly & John had made the barn look amazing. The evening went into full swing, and with more evening guests arriving, it was sure to be an amazing night.

We left Holly & John late in the night, knowing that we had some amazing wedding photography for them, and we can’t thank them enough for making us feel so welcome all day. Their family and friends were amazing and added to what was a fantastic day.

Big, big thanks again and a massive congratulations.
