Katie and Carl | 30th December 2009 | Woodlands Hotel, West Yorkshire

Wednesday 30th December I had been booked to cover the wedding of Katie and Carl. The wedding was to be held at the Woodlands Hotel just outside Leeds. Below is an image from their day.

Crash Taylor - Beautiful image!

Kevin Mullins - I agree with Crash - very nice image.

That’s about it from me.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fantastic couples who I have had the pleasure in meeting this year and especially those who have invited me to cover their wedding day. This year has been one of our best years to date covering 50 weddings across 15 counties up and down the length of England, picking up many local, regional and international awards for my images along the way. I am really looking forward to next year with 30 great weddings already booked in, it is looking to be an equally great year. This year I have met a lot of fantastic people within the industry of which I have learned a great deal, so I thank you all. I wish all of my past clients and future clients a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

My studio is now closed for the Christmas holiday and will open again on January 4th.

Have a good one!!!!

Crash Taylor - Merry Christmas!

Another testimonial to end the year on.

Another testimonial arrived today to top a great year. I covered the Wedding of Sharon and Peter back in August . The couple flew in from Australia to get married at Hassop Hall, set in the heart of the Peak District. Everything was arranged online and over the phone and the day was amazing. Below is an image from their day and the testimonial.

“Ryan was fantastic – we were able to make all the arrangements from Australia, and on the day we felt like rock stars! The photos have been a real hit for the people that were there, and especially for the people that couldn’t make the trip from New Zealand – they feel like they were a part of it all. Thank you Ryan for capturing the feeling of day – every time we look at the pictures we are transported back to that magical day at Hassop Hall.”

Another Testimonial arrived today.

Today another Testimonial arrived. It is always great to receive such nice words from our clients. The testimonial was from the Wedding of Gemma and Scott which took place at Hazlewood Castle back in the Summer.

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both. Scott and I are delighted with our wedding album, it is everything we dreamed it would be and is a fantastic keepsake of what was to us the best day of our lives – you captured the day perfectly and we will treasure all of the images! Thanks again for all your hard work on the day and producing such a beautiful album”

With Love Gemma and Scott
