Becki and Russell's Wedding- Sorrento and Amalfi Coast

Sorrento Wedding Photography

It has been a natural progression for me to extend my wedding coverage from Tuscany to include some Amalfi wedding photography. When I met Becki at a wedding exhibition in the UK she told me about all her plans for their wedding in Sorrento.  She spoke so passionately about her plans and loved my style of photography, I have always wanted to photograph a wedding on the Amalfi Coast, so it was great for both of us.

Becki's wedding was two years of planning and she had everything organised. We were both flying out to Sorrento and using that as the base for the Italian wedding, then flying back to the UK for a wedding blessing with other family and friends. It all started on a cold frosty morning at Manchester airport whilst waiting at the car park for the bus, another couple were also waiting. The other couple spoke to me and told me how proud they were to be flying out for their daughters wedding in Sorrento; small world, I'm the photographer!!

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most magical places I have ever been to, it makes such a stunning wedding venue. The Amalfi drive follows the coast around and taking in the towns of Positano, Sorrento and Ravello. Becki had planned her wedding day to take in all these amazing places. The wedding ceremony was held at Villa Fondi Then we took a fast car for photographs along the Amalfi drive stopping at Positano, then on to Ravello and finishing off on the cathedral steps of Sorrento.

The whole day was a magical one, full of fun and emotion. Becki looked amazing in her Italian lace dress made by the designer YOU by Pronovias. Some of the best back drops for the wedding photos were taken at Villa Rufolo in Ravello. Becki wanted the classical Amalfi wedding photograph with the pine tree, the blue sea and the happy couple, I didn't disappoint!

James and Susan's Wedding- Villa San Crispolto, Italy

Romantic Italian Weddings

It was a great early start to the Italian wedding season, returning back to Villa San Crispolto as part of one of our Romantic Italian Weddings. James and Susan chose the villa for their wedding due to the stunning location and breathtaking views.

The day was a very relaxed affair and we had spoken at great length prior to the day about their style of  wedding photography and how they wanted a nice relaxed documentary style. Nice and relaxed is what I do, so a lot of the photos were taken with a long lens without people knowing their photos was being taken.

Their day was style in the 1950's feel to it with the styles and place settings of the old 45's featuring as table settings (for those who don't know what an old 45 is, ask your parents!). When the evening disco came on the music theme continued and the dance floor soon filled up and the party really started!

Emily and Bayley's Wedding- The Priory

Yorkshire Wedding Photography- The Priory

I have photographed Emily before for a portfolio shoot and she is always fun to work with. When I got the call from her to say "Mark, I am getting married and I will only have you as my photographer" I was pretty pleased with that! It is always great to work for clients who you know or have met at other weddings who see your work and when they are ready to get married we all meet again.

Emily looked amazing on her wedding day, when we spoke about her dress she said it was one that she never expected to pick. When she put it on it looked beautiful, there was not a dry eye in the house. Bayley looked pretty proud on the day and the church was packed out with family and friends to share their day.

The reception was held at The Priory on the south side of Harrogate. It is a fantastic wedding venue giving a very personal feel to the day. Emily's father likes to celebrate with fireworks and could not resist creating his own firework display for his daughter. It was a great day and certainly ended up with a bang!
