Jo & Ben’s Wedding Photos – Mosborough Hall, Sheffield

Stewart Randall — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 11:45:33 +0000

After dashing about the country it was nice to photograph a local wedding in Sheffield at Mosborough Hall. Jo & Ben’s day was great fun and full of surprises, the largest of which was a Hummer organised by Jo for Ben. Way to go Jo!

Below are some of my favourites from the day. Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Jo or Ben for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.

Amy & Ali Wedding Photos – Cannon Hall, Yorkshire

Stewart Randall — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:01:06 +0000

If you’re feeling down from the lack of daylight as the winter evenings draw in earlier and earlier, here is a simple remedy… dig out some summer images!

I’ve been working on Amy an Ali’s images for the past couple of hours and doing so has brushed away the autumn doom and gloom and lifted my spirits. It’s not just the images of sunflowers, blue skies and brilliant sunlight that’s working it’s magic on me, but it’s also the memories of what was a fantastic day. Amy & Ali’s wedding which has held at Cannon Hall and then Brooklands was a day to remember. The organisation was spot on and with many parts to the day, including drinks in the walled garden, afternoon tea, garden games and the reception at Brooklands, there was plenty to photograph.

For the bride and groom portraits we used the beautiful gardens at Cannon Hall and an old farmyard which I found ideally located on route to Brooklands. Fortunately the owners of the farmyard were family friends so we weren’t chased off their land! :-)

Julie and I had an incredible time photographing Amy & Ali’s wedding and it was a pleasure to work with such a fantastic couple.

Sarah & Matthew Wedding Photos – Whirlowbrook Hall, Sheffield

Stewart Randall — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 10:28:26 +0000

I had a lot of fun on Sarah & Matthew’s engagement shoot where we captured some great images from around Sheffield. For the wedding however we exchanged the gritty background of Sheffield alleyways for the more classical location of Whirlowbrook Hall.

Whirlowbrook Hall is located just outside Sheffield in South Yorkshire and is a beautiful setting for a wedding. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, the grounds are stunning and the Hall itself has a very intimate feel. It was this intimacy that Sarah and Matthew wanted for their wedding both in terms of the day and the photography. For this reason they requested a strong bias towards my documentary style with only a sprinkling of relaxed portraits. This meant no official group photos but instead focussing on capturing the day through my eyes and the cameras lens and in doing so I was able to capture some cracking moments.

Speaking of moments, the rain which had held off for most of the day decided to make a spectacular appearance during the speeches. Typical! A quick dash inside and the speeches resumed. That said, it did make for some fun photos as we all made a dash for shelter.

For those of you who are interested in wedding stationary you should speak directly with Sarah. Not only did Sarah source all the materials but she also designed and handmade the lot. I’m sure having worked for a paper company (where they met) helped, but the quality of the finish was on par with the professional. Very impressive. Wild flower seeds as table favours were also a nice detail.

Abi & Ray Wedding Photos – Whitley Hall, South Yorkshire

Stewart Randall — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:53:23 +0000

Abi and Ray’s wedding was somewhat of a first for Randall Photography. Not only was it the first time we’d shot a wedding at Whitley Hall near Sheffield, but it was also the first time Julie had ventured out with a photographer other than myself to shoot a wedding.

So, whilst I was in Ireland for a destination wedding (images coming soon), Julie and Rob were enjoying themselves in South Yorkshire and I have to say, the images are fantastic. Should I be worried about my job security?

Although I wasn’t there I hear the day was a lot of fun and everyone was incredibly welcoming. The magician in particular sounded amazing and there was definitely a serious party starting as Julie and Rob packed the cameras in the boot.

A huge thank you to my stand in for the day – Rob Davies – and for his and Julie’s skill in capturing Abi and Ray’s wedding.

Sarah & Matthew Pre-wedding Shoot – Sheffield, South Yorkshire

Stewart Randall — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:02:06 +0000

I met Sarah & Matthew’s in Sheffield for their pre-wedding shoot on what turned out to be a gorgeous June evening – you can’t beat quality evening sunlight. Both Sarah and Matthew are very confident in front of the camera and it wasn’t long before we were fooling around and creating some fun images. That said, Matthew used to be a professional wrestler and is a master of the ‘mean and moody look’. In fact there were several occasions when I thought I had seriously upset him and it was a matter of time before I found myself upside down in some sort of head hold ;-)

Joking aside, the shoot was loads of fun and I’m really looking forward to the wedding which will be at Whirlowbrook Hall later this month.

Abi & Ray Pre-wedding Shoot – South Yorkshire

Stewart Randall — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:03:19 +0000

A short post as I’ve been meaning to share some images from Abi and Ray’s pre-wedding session for a while.

The fun part about this pre-wedding shoot is that Abi and Ray live in the same village as me so I thought I’d take the opportunity to explore my local area for some cool locations. Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with fine weather however there is definitely some potential on my doorstep – will have to explore further.

Laura & Paul – Cutlers Hall, Sheffield

Stewart Randall — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:19:53 +0000

Laura & Paul’s wedding was the first of the year and what a way to start. There was a huge amount of excitement about the day which started at the Leopold Hotel in Sheffield. The wedding ceremony and reception were held at Cutler’s Hall which is a little treasure hidden away in the city centre.

Laura’s dress, the design for which was her own inspiration, looked amazing and was beautifully made for her by Jo from The Bridal House in Sheffield. Not to be outdone Paul sourced a tailor to make his suit which tied in nicely with the vintage style of the wedding.

The entire day was just beautiful. Laura & Paul clearly had a fantastic time and were laughing and smiling all day. There were so many images from the wedding that I wanted to share that I’m afraid this page may take a while to load – but it’s worth it! Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. The password for the gallery is the same as their wedding site and was also the name of the top table. If you can’t remember it please ask Laura or Paul.

Congratulations to both Laura and Paul.
