Alexandra and Mark's Wedding at Bagden Hall.

Everyone who attended Alexandra and Mark's wedding had the time of their lives!  We all had a brilliant day - the Church was so pretty but outside it was blowing a gale and the lovely bride, Alexandra, lost her veil a few times.  The wind was so bad it made it impossible to take any group photos at the church so these were taken in the calmer grounds of the magnificient Bagden Hall.  Alexandra looked absolutely stunning and young Dr Mark looked pretty good too!  Alexandra contacted me yesterday and asked if I could put some images on the blog as soon as I could so here we are.  The rest will be online via the Client Area on my website - just email me if you haven't got the password info@normadean.co.uk.  I always like the Bride & Groom to see their wedding photographs first so they won't go online until a few days after Alexandra and Mark return from their honeymoon in the fabulous Maldives.  Have a great time on honeymoon and no doubt you will still be on Cloud 9 when you return.  Congratulations from Norma and Stuart Dean, Norma Dean Photography!!

Katy & Andy's Wedding at The Hey Green Hotel, Marsden.

We had a wonderful time photographing Katy and Andy's Hey Green wedding.  It was an overcast day but this didn't seem to bother the happy couple.  Andy waited nervously for Katy but first to appear was their daughter as their bridesmaid and she was soon followed by the stunning bride, Katy being walked up the aisle by her father.  The day went all too quickly but I'm sure their photographs will revive their many happy memories of their special day.  Congratulations to Katy and Andy from Norma & Stuart Dean, Norma Dean Photography!!

Kath at Bolton Abbey

Due to the rain on Katherine and Mark's wedding day at Bolton Abbey, I decided to take Kath back to the Abbey after her honeymoon for some photographs in the ruins.  Of course rain was forecast on Sunday but we managed to avoid this until the last few images.  Kath now has a further 60 or so images to choose from for her album!!

Kelly & Dan's Incredible Wedding

Kelly and Dan were married at St James Parish Church, Huddersfield and held their reception at Holdsworth House in Halifax.  To my delight the Groom, Best man & Ushers wore kilts - it was very windy but no embarrassment was caused!  I started the day at the Bride & Groom's house photographing Kelly preparing for her wedding.  When she showed me her dress, it took my breath away - I've never seen such an exquisite gown and it was made by a relative, Adam Shaw.  Adam has a studio in Huddersfield - he designs wedding dresses and also costumes for TV.  Without doubt, he is very, very talented guy.  You will see Adam in the photographs dressing the bride making sure she was perfect for her day and believe me, Kelly looked absolutely Amazing!!  Kelly and Dan were surrounded by their families and many friends on their special day - everything went fantastically well.  You could tell that every detail of their day was carefully planned and to show their love and appreciation to their guests, each one had a hand-written note from the bride and groom which caused a roller coaster of emotions!  I am sure Kelly and Dan's honeymoon is going well in Italy.  A selection of their photographs will be live in my Client Area when they return from honeymoon (around 400).  Best wished for the future - our fondest regards from Norma and Stuart Dean (and Nick my Trainee for the day) Norma Dean Photography.

Kath & Marks Wedding at Bolton Abbey

Kath and Mark were married at Bolton Abbey.  Rain was threatening all morning but we managed to get shots of the Groom, Best Man & Ushers but shortly after that, the rain started.  Kath arrived at the church to sunshine but it was drizzling so we took her shots inside.  When we came out the church, it was glorious sunshine!!!  We managed to do the large group shot but we were keeping an eye on the black skies approaching - then the heavens opened big style!!  We then went on to the Midland Hotel - they hadn't had any rain at all.  Anyway, as you can imagine, there was disappointment that we were unable to capture any images of Kath and Mark in the beautiful grounds of Bolton Abbey.  I thought how I would feel if it were my wedding and I would have been so disappointed.  I decided to offer to take Mark and Kath back to Bolton Abbey after their honeymoon (free of charge), when it isn't raining, to take some photographs of them in the grounds of Bolton Abbey - they were both thrilled at my offer.  So, when they return, we shall get some "amazing" photographs for them.  Apart from that, this didn't deter Kath and Mark from having a great time - they smiled their way throughout the day and into the evening.  They have some amazing friends all of whom obviously enjoyed their day too.  Hope you are having a lovely honeymoon in Cuba Kath and Mark and get in touch when you return!!  All the best for your future together - Norma and Stuart Dean, Norma Dean Photography.
