Snow at Foster Clough, Hebden Bridge March 2013

My daughter had been "snowed in" since Friday 22nd March until the snow plows got through on Tuesday 26th March.  I don't think anyone will forget the snow that came in March 2013 !!

Claire & Jobies house - lovely views.

Sarah & Oliver's Christmas Wedding at Wood Hall

Here are just a few sneek previews of Sarah & Oliver's wedding.  The rest will be online in about a week's time via my website.

The day was perfect for the happy couple surrounded by their family and friends.

Just Madness!

We can be serious "sometimes"!

but it doesn't last for long.

Roosmarijn & David's Woodland Wedding

 Roosmarijn (Rose) and David's wedding was a little different from the English norm as Rose is from the Netherlands.  Dutch tradition is that  the Groom collects the flowers from the florist and then goes to the bride's house to present them to the bride and they travel to the wedding ceremony together.  The weather was fantastic for their special day which was a bonus as their ceremony was at Gibson Mill in the heart of Hardcastle Craggs.  The Bride & Groom together with their guests walked through the woods to the Mill which is quite a distance but they arrived in next to no time.  The ceremony was quite emotional but finished with clapping and laughter!  Another Dutch tradition is that they wear their wedding rings on the right hand - not on the left.  After the ceremony we went straight into the Confetti throwing, then some group shots and finishing with the Bride & Grooms personal photographs.  Later in the evening a reception was held at Waterfront Hall in Hebden Bridge.  Rose and David are leaving shortly to go back-packing for a year.  Everyone had a wonderful and fantastic day.
All the best for the future from Norma and Stuart at Norma Dean Photography.

Very Brave Friends of the Bride!!!

Lucy & Joel's Wedding at Hebden Bridge Town Hall

The day started for me at Lucy's parents' stunning house in Hebden Bridge taking shots of Lucy preparing for her big day.  The house was buzzing with bridesmaids, make-up artists, hairdressers and of course, photographers and very excited parents!  I then had to leave for Hebden Bridge Town Hall to meet Joel, his Best Man and Ushers for a few photos before the ceremony.

Lucy and Joel had perfect weather at a fabulous venue so drinks were enjoyed on the terrace together with a buffet which was well catered for by The Design House outside catering before the wedding breakfast being held later in the day.

Lucy looked just amazing in her elegant wedding gown and Joel made a very handsome figure in his grey suit.  The couple were joined by their many friends and relatives whom I am sure thoroughly enjoyed this special day.

Congratulations Lucy & Joel from Norma & Stuart, Norma Dean Photography.

Chris & Becci's Thorpe Park Wedding

Chris and Becci were married at the Thorpe Park Hotel near Leeds.  They were very lucky with the weather - it didn't rain and as I'm from Hebden Bridge that is quite something!!  

Becky and Chris were both nervous before the ceremony but it all went very well - it always does!  They were both smiling endlessly after the ceremony and were congratulated by their families and many friends.  

Becky looked fantastic in her wedding gown and Chris wore his suit very well.  Everyone had a fabulous time and I am sure they all left with many happy memories of the day
