Mark and Tolla's wedding - Hazlewood Castle near York

It was good to catch up with mark and Tolla again on Friday. Following on from their pre-wedding shoot a few months ago they were married today in a civil ceremony at Hazlewood Castle near York.

The morning started with coverage of mark's preparations at home in Leeds before I caught up with Tolla at Hazlewood Castle as she prepared for the wedding day. With a civil ceremony in the south facing and naturally lit Old Dining Hall we were able to take photos throughout the ceremony.

A close eye on the weather and approaching rain clouds looming large over towards the A1 we quickly despatched some of the large group images before rain stopped play and we had to continue indoors. Thankfully Hazlewood Castle offers some great indoor locations and so we varied the shots between the Flemish Hall, staircase and Mark and Tolla's bedroom.

During the evening reception guests were entertained by a firework display just before 10.30, the cover of the restaurant providing shelter from the incessant rain. What a day to forget to pack a coat!
