Read MoreCraiglands Hotel Ilkley Wedding Photography- Rachel and Kevin
Now Christmas is arriving, I'm realising how much I haven't shared from this year. So here's Rachel and Kevin's wedding that took place local to me, which actually make's a change. Here are my favourite bits from their Ilklely wedding.
The day started at Rachel's house for bridal preparation.
These bespoke converse are pretty awesome right? From Diamond soles. And I love the plaque, guess who's carried this down the aisle?
The beautiful flowers were from bouquets bingley
Rachel's perfectly suited wedding dress was from pronovias - confetti and lace pudsey
The rain came as Rachel made her way to St Stephen's church in Skipton. Luckily the groomsmen were on hand with umbrellas.
After the ceremony the rain began to clear, so we headed to Ilkley Moor for a few photos. I love these moors. If you haven't been, it is definitely worth a visit.
The reception took place at Craiglands Hotel, a Victorian hotel tucked away just a short walk from Ilkley.

This bridal and groom's party were a lot of fun as we took advantage of the sun that suddenly appeared just before speeches.
Rachel and Kevin's little one's ranked even higher on the cute scale when they presented their mum and dad with gifts. So sweet!
Rachel and Kevin thank you for having me along for you special day. It was a blast!
