Wedding Celebration - Ruth and Dan
Wedding celebration photography
Married in the Summer of 2020 when certain global events meant restrictions on numbers at weddings were in place in the UK, Ruth and Dan finally had the opportunity to have the big celebration with friends and family in 2022 and we were so happy to be approached as photographers to capture all of the memories of the day for them!
Speaking with Ruth and Dan on the run up to their celebration it was clear that the priority for their day was to have a day of celebrations surrounded by all of their friends and family, many of which could not be there two years ago. For the lucky few that could attend both celebrations it was a chance to get dressed up again, let’s face it, how many brides can say they got to wear their wedding dress twice? This time around Dan proudly wore his families crest to celebrate his families Scottish heritage, his groomsmen all wearing kilts for authenticity!
Hull wedding venue - Hull Ionians RUFC
With restrictions of the last couple of years still fresh in the memory we find it so special seeing extended families and groups of friends all together in one place catching up and spending time together. This was very much the case for our time with Ruth and Dan with guests travelling from North and South to get together and celebrate.
The celebration of Ruth and Dan was held at Hull Ionians RUFC in Brantingham, the venue is quite local to us as Hull Wedding Photographers but we had not attended the venue for a wedding previously, our only prior visit to the venue was many years ago for a firework display (which from memory was excellent). The choice of venue was absolutely perfect, the big function room allowing plenty of space for the large turnout of guests with a modern bar area and newly renovated outdoor terrace giving breakout spaces for people to relax in.
Wedding group photographs
With the emphasis on family and friends we set aside time at the start of the day to make sure we got the large group photographs that we knew were of great importance to Dan and Ruth, it was fantastic to be able to capture these moments for them. We also found a short amount of time before dinner to capture some couple portraits in the green area along side the sports pitches.
Evening wedding party - dance floor photography
Heading into the evening celebration we were introduced to the Hessle Celidh Band, Ruth had warned us in advance that this part of the day could be quite lively, she was not wrong! We had so much fun up on the dance floor enjoying the dancing with everybody, it was brilliant to see everyone letting their hair down and having a party! Everyone had the best time and the energy and smiles in the photographs said it all! What a night!
