Old Lodge Hotel, Malton

We love a smiling bride. We never ask our couples to “smile for the camera” but when someone like Jenny comes along there’s really no need anyway. From the first moment we saw her getting ready on the day of her wedding to the moment the very last guest left, Jenny’s smile lit up the room and warmed the hearts of all around her. It was a smile of purest joy, entrancing and inexhaustible, a smile shared by the man who that day was in no doubt that he was the luckiest man in the world. This was truly the greatest day of their lives, a day of beauty, love and overwhelming happiness. Yet we had seen these same smiles once before…

At the beginning of the week we had joined Jenny & David for a pre-wedding shoot on the beautiful beach of Filey, North Yorkshire, where we had been joined by a very special guest. Each time Jenny & David looked upon their beautiful daughter Charlotte their faces lit up, just as they did now as they looked deeply into each others eyes. Watching this happiest of families laugh and play together was a humbling experience, and as Jenny and David exchanged their loving vows we felt privileged to document such a momentous occasion in the lives of such a perfect, doting family. For Bride and Groom and their adorable daughter this was the most perfect of days and one that will never be forgotten. Jenny, David and Charlotte – together forever.
