Oulton Hall wedding photographers West Yorkshire.
On the 29th of December 2013, the Dave Spink Photography team attended the wedding of Michelle and Gavin at the stunning venue Oulton hall in Rothwell, Leeds.
Oulton is a venue that the award winning wedding photographers have been to a lot not just with photography but with videography and photo booths as well, in fact we did our first ever photo booth here back in 2012.
Having being here before, Dave and Megan knew exactly of all the key spots for all the best photos, but as they like to make every wedding individual they thought it was a good idea to refresh their minds and take a wonder around anyway.
Although the team had been here before , Dave and Megan have never attended the preparations of the bride at Oulton hall, so this was a nice change for the two of them, and also gave them an opportunity to visit the rooms Oulton hall has to offer.

The day started out pretty calm. As the bride was getting pampered with hair and makeup, the team got on with taking photos of the little details like the dress and rings and beautiful flowers that were prepared my Emma home and garden florist based in shipley
One photo that particularly stands out from the preparation photos is the rings on the Christmas tree, its something the team haven’t done before.
Before the ceremony was to begin, we quickly got some shots of the stairs and handed the girls over to the staff so they could escort them to the ceremony room, ready for the entrance.
As entertainment throughout the day the bride and groom has opted for a fantastic wedding singer songwriter and acoustic artist from Bradford named Jill Ryder to perform through before the ceremony and during the group photographs. We highly recommend Jill, Dave himself booked her for his own wedding.
The happy couple, despite the time of year picked a prefect day to get married with regards to the weather so when it came to pictures, though it was chilli the sun was shining beautifully trees so the pictures came out lovely with a nice warm white balance to them almost giving the illusion of warm weather even before editing!
Mainly for photos of just the two of them, the team went inside mainly due to keeping the bride and groom nice and warm as it was extremely cold outside!
It was now time to leave the bride and groom to mingle with their guests while the Dave Spink Photography team ventured into the room to get all the detail shots. At Dave Spink photography, they like to take a lot of interest into getting photos of the room, because its time part of the day most people forget first.
At Oulton they have a separate room for their reception and Michelle and Gavin decided to have a band for theirs which was a lovely touch.
