Sarah & Begna Wedding – Ellingham Hall, Northumberland

Stewart Randall — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:06:34 +0000

Ellingham Hall is a stunning privately owned stately home in Northumberland than can be hired for exclusive use and is a perfect venue for a romantic wedding – exactly what Sarah & Begna had planned.

Friends and family had travelled from all over the world to be with Sarah and Begna on their wedding day and both Julie and I were thrilled to be part of such a magical occasion.

Below are some of my favourite images and you can find the video slideshow on our vimeo channel.

Claire & Owen Wedding – Clearwell Castle, Gloucestershire

Stewart Randall — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 22:46:50 +0000

Another fab wedding from last year this time at Clearwell Castle which is situated in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. Clearwell is a beautiful location and definitely up there with some of my favourite venues.

Below are some of our favourite images from the day and a slideshow can be found on our vimeo channel.

Amanda & Nick Wedding – The Montagu Arms Hotel, Beaulieu in Hampshire

Stewart Randall — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 22:39:48 +0000

The Montagu Arms Hotel, which is located in Beulieu in the New Forest, is a small but intimate venue and perfect for Amanda and Nick who wanted a relaxed wedding with just their close friends and family. It was great to see some familiar faces at the wedding and a complete shock to see Fran and Malc who were in Paris with Julie and I when we got engaged! Crazy.

Below is a selection of some of my favourite images and you can view the full slideshow on our Vimeo channel.

Image above is one of my favourites.

Louise & Adam Wedding – Peckforton Castle Hotel, Cheshire

Stewart Randall — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 00:47:18 +0000

Another fantastic wedding at Peckforton Castle Hotel in Cheshire. A beautiful venue with the added benefit of having their own falconry. What does that mean… how about an owl as a ring bearer? On Louise and Adam’s wedding the owl got a little confused and decided to make friends with the registrar :-)

I hope you enjoy the photos.

The image above is one of my favourite images of 2010. I simply love this moment.

Sarah & Graham – West Tower House, Ormskirk, Lancashire

Stewart Randall — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 00:14:16 +0000

It’s has been a crazy past 6 months and we’re so far behind with the blog that it’s not even funny. So, in an attempt to make amends I’m going to be blogging some of our favourite images from 2010 that never made it online. Posts may be become short and snappy for a while but I hope you enjoy the images.

First up is one of our favourite weddings from 2010 – Sarah at Graham – who were married at St John the Baptist in Burscough followed by a reception at West Tower Hotel in Ormskirk.

This was a seriously fun day. Absolutely loved shooting Sarah & Grahams wedding. Thanks for asking us to be part of your day.

Angela & James Wedding Photos – Midland Hotel, Manchester

julie — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:53:15 +0000

It was great to head over to Manchester last month for Angela and James’s wedding. We’re based just over the Pennines so it’s a short beautiful drive over the Woodhead pass which I always find inspiring.

Angela and her bridesmaids got ready at her parents home which turned out to be a photographer’s dream. Angela’s father is fascinated by World War II and the house was like a museum containing interesting books, pictures, artefacts and memorabilia. As a child who was dragged around war graves in France and Belgium I felt very much at home and enjoyed a lengthy discussion with Angela’s dad on his passion. Anyway, back to the photography :-)

After the ceremony we stopped at Castlefield for the bride and groom portraits. It’s a favourite location of mine so it didn’t take long to capture some fantastic images before we headed on to the Midland Hotel.

Below are some of my favourite images. Friends & family can view all of the images on our gallery. Please ask Angela or James for the password.

Julia & James Wedding Photos – Hassop Hall, Derbyshire

julie — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:24:37 +0000

For a while now Stewart and I have been trying to work out how to create blog posts which are more creative and show more of our work without taking ages in Photoshop to put together. Thanks to Lightroom 3 we think we’ve come up with a neat solution. So, a bit of change for this blog – we hope you like it.

First to get the new treatment is Julia and James’ beautiful wedding at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire. Weather was perfect, Julia and James were fantastic and we had a truly great day.

Check out the dress girls, it’s a good one.
Boys, the car isn’t too bad either! :-)

For the photographers… you may notice some images have a ’35mm’ look, that’s because Stewart is in love with his new Canon 35mm f1.4 which made an appearance at the start of the day and stayed for pretty much most of the wedding.

Friends & family can view all of the images on our gallery.

Sarah & Scott Wedding Photos – Bagden Hall, Yorkshire

julie — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:02:58 +0000

Sarah & Scott are a fun and very loving couple. There was a great atmosphere throughout their entire wedding day and I don’t think I’ve seen a bride as excited as Sarah at the prospect of getting married. It was also great to be back at Bagden Hall again, especially as we were blessed with such a glorious sunny day.

Below are a small selection of our favourites from the day. Friends & family can view all of the images on our gallery.

Ros & Kris Wedding Photos – Ripley Castle, North Yorkshire

julie — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:26:40 +0000

Stewart met Ros and Kris last year at a wedding he was shooting in Ireland so it was great to have an opportunity to catch up with so many familiar faces.

The wedding took place in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Ripley, starting at the church and then moving on to Ripley Castle after a quick interlude to release some doves and call in for some ice cream at Ripley’s famous ice cream shop (apparently it’s v. v. good) – take a look at the montage below!

Some of our favourites from the day are below, I particularly like the hand model Stewart used to take a shot of the ring – inspired! :) and the “Kung Fu” fighting first dance.

Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Ros or Kris for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.
