Good morning everybody! I have sprung out of bed with a spring in my step because tonight is my Yorkshire Brides Up North Tweet Up networking event. I am all kinds of excited and nervous, with a whole lot of wedding industry talent expected to descend in 12 hours time. Before then, I have a whole lot of prepping, preening, glittering, arranging, styling and goody bag stuffing to go. Wish me luck!
.
If you are coming tonight, and just happen to be reading this morning, why not leave a message on this post to say hello and introduce your business to my lovely bride to be readers?

I wanted to mark the occasion by paying a little wedding blog homage to my adopted home county – beautiful Yorkshire (I arrived 11 years ago for University and apart from a brief stint working on the glossies in London, I’ve never left), in a fun, tongue in cheek styled shoot by the marvellous duo that are Greyeye Photography. These guys are a hoot, whilst also remaining super professional and producing some amazing images on location in the gorgeous Yorkshire town of Holmfirth (where the epic Last Of The Summer Wine was filmed).
.
With stunning dresses from The Harrogate Wedding Lounge, pair of wellies, a flat cap and a whippet, this was always going to be an interesting mixture. You know what? I think we pulled it off.
.
SO, without further ado… I give you “I Heart Yorkshire…”

Thank goodness the ferret “fell through”…

I had such a great day with Matt and Andy of Greyeye Photography that I couldn’t resist taking a trip behind the lens. These two are absolutely hilarious and had me in stitches all day long.

How to produce a bridal fashion shoot…
.
.
.
.
Keep the grannies sweet.
.
.
.
.
Watch out for hot beverages.
.
.
.
.
Share a brew with the local bikers.
.
.
.
.
Keep a firm hold on your camera equipment in strong breezes.
.
.
.
.
Have something to eat before shooting begins.
.
.
.
.
And never, ever, ever, work with animals… or wedding bloggers who are unable to control said animals.
..

With HUGE thanks to The Harrogate Wedding Lounge, “The World Famous Sid’s Cafe” and The Wrinkled Stocking Tea Room, not forgetting the absolute star of the show (who behaved perfectly throughout): Skye the Whippet, his owner Janet and her very patient husband.
