Tag: Star Wars Leia Dog Costume

‘May The Fourth’ Be With You from ‘Chewie’ – our new pup! Star Wars Dog Fancy Dress

A very happy ‘Star Wars Day’, one and all! ‘May the Fourth’ be with you! Some of you may know I had a thing for dressing up my beloved pooch Kyra up as Star Wars characters every year, as it was her birthday on May the 4th! Kyra sadly passed away last June, not long […]

Another random call I received recently was from a Another random call I received recently was from a graduand (the posh name for a student who’s finished but not yet graduated) asking if I might like to shoot some portraits at her graduation around York - where she’d been studying Medicine. So I said sure!

I met her and her fella by the always impressive York Minster for a few solo and couple pics, before her fam turned up for cuddles and a few relaxed family pics.

I loved the mix of candid, staged and freestyle pics we captured around the minster (down my fave secret backstreet!) as well as a few around the York Uni Campus and lake. It was fun to bump into a few other course mates! I also loved how she also brought along ‘Hully’ an elephant teddy she’d had made out of her uni scrubs! 

Fun times

Out of the blue, a while back, I was asked to do a Out of the blue, a while back, I was asked to do a ‘Bollywood Themed’ couple shoot in Leeds. 

So last week I met Neha + Bharat in Golden Acre Park in Leeds (a fave park of mine for loads of my pre-wedding practice shoots). 

They’re having a Hindu Wedding later this year, but wanted some funky pics, with a nod to Bollywood! The main rule: NO ACTUAL KISSING ALLOWED! Which was fun to do!

It was a shoot of two halves: one in Traditional Indian Dress and suit, then a costume change (in the cafe loos!) into casual clothes for round two. 

These guys smashed it! I love the COLOUR and fun and dancing and joy…

(This goes to show I don’t have to be shoot your wedding to do a cool couple shoot - do get in touch if you fancy one!)

I recently joined Sarah + Phil for their microwedd I recently joined Sarah + Phil for their microwedding at Woodlands Hotel and St James’ Church in Tong Village, near Leeds!

Sometimes 3 or 4 hours of wedding photography is all you need for as intimate weddings, like this one with just 15 guests. 

I joined this relaxed pair - who actually met in school 27 years ago - before their ceremony for a few quiet portraits around Woodlands. They then jumped in a stunning Shelby Mustang (a replica of Eleanor from the movie ‘Gone In 60 Seconds’) and zoomed to the church where their 5 kids and a few select family members were waiting.

The ceremony by their vicar Helen was a delight - with a fun sermon about bubbles! - and after hugs, confetti (and more bubbles) we headed back to Woodlands, for a quick round of family & mingle pics, followed by a champagne toast, and as they sat to enjoy Woodlands’ delicious grub around one long table, I bid them farewell! 

I’ve been doing more and more short wedding coverage like these, and it’s great  to provide lovely wedding pics in just 3-6 hours, without photos dominating an intimate day.

Yesterday I joined Susan & Andrew for their fabulo Yesterday I joined Susan & Andrew for their fabulous wedding at Tupgill Park, in Yorkshire’s beautiful Wensleydale! 

I’ve only visited in the past for the forbidden corner, but there’s so much more on wedding side of it! Tonnes of stunning accommodation, an incredible country house with lawns overlooking the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, an amazing timber Bell Barn for the ceremony and meal and incredible grounds and lakes to wander in for pics!

Susan & Andrew threw a beautiful, family-focused wedding with generations from great, great grandmas all the way down to newborns! While the Dalesy weather was that classic ‘all seasons in a day’ it didn’t dampen proceedings (especially with singing waiters whipping everything into chaos!). 

Enjoy the teasers and the full story & photos will soon be up on my blog at www.barnabyaldrick.com/blog

What a joy to photograph Karla & Bethan’s incred What a joy to photograph Karla & Bethan’s incredible celebration at Samlesbury Hall near Preston in Lancashire! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

After meeting on Tinder in 2019, a spontaneous trip to Borneo sparked their love. Their dream beach wedding in Thailand last year took an unexpected turn when Bethan suddenly lost sight in one eye, meaning much of the trip was spent in hospital. They still married in a Thai registry office, and this weekend was the chance to celebrate properly with all their favourite people back home in Lancashire.

From emotional family reactions to their surprise matching suits, a beautiful blessing by Bethan’s mum, sunshine, confetti, ice cream, lawn games, golden hour portraits and an epic evening of live music, it was such a special day to be part of.
Huge congratulations, you two! 🥂

A microwedding needn’t be anything less than AWE A microwedding needn’t be anything less than AWESOME (or should that be PAWSOME?!) > as demonstrated by Charl, Danny and their fur baby Opal the other week!

Already married on an exotic beach a week or so before, I joined them for their celebrations at Bowcliffe Hall (@bowcliffehall) for just 5 hours, diving straight into sunny lawn games outside the stylish Drivers Club. Before the majority of guests arrived, we did a quick round of group pics and portraits, followed by champagne, cocktails and cute cuddles! All to the dulcet sounds of live singer Nath Brooks.

After a few casual speeches, a tunnel of confetti led the gang down to the funky Blackburn Wing (designed in the shape of an actual plane wing!) for nibbles and an almighty knees up! I just had time to flash a few final photos before leaving them to the party.

As the groom is the brother of the lovely Bowcliffe co-ordinator Becky (who was there, off duty with her lovely fam), Bowcliffe’s ace staff got stuck in playing games with the kids and generally being their lovely selves!

As it was a microwedding, we didn’t do a pre-wedding practice shoot to get the couples loosened up ahead of the wedding. But it made no difference as these guys (helped massively by their stunning cockapoo!) smashed it out the park with a frankly adorable set of couple shots!
