Wedding Photographer: Ravello Town Hall & Villa Cimbrone, Ravello, Amalfi Coast, Italy: Ian & Sam

September 4th, 2010 admin 1 comment

Andy & Amy were the wedding photographers at Ravello Town Hall & Villa Cimbrone, Ravello, Amalfi Coast for the wedding of Ian & Sam.

Since becoming wedding photographers years ago we have heard lots of great reviews about Villa Cimbrone in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. We finally got the opportunity to photograph there for the wedding of Ian & Sam on the 28th August. Villa Cimbrone more than lived up to its incredible reputation – what a jaw-dropping place it is! The view from the terrace is reputed to be one of, if not THE best view in the whole of Italy and is certainly a sight that will stick with us for many years to come.

A wedding photographer’s dream, Ravello is perfect in every way – an elegant little town, high up in the hills with gorgeous, narrow streets and blooming with colourful flowers. I have to also mention the Infinito Suite at the 5 star Palazzo Sasso in which Sam and her bridesmaids got ready – Wow! I could have spent a week or two there with its stunning views and jacuzzi on the terrace. If only!

Ian’s vibrant waistcoat looked great. He fitted in perfectly in such a colourful little town.

The Stunning bride.

Just married! I bet they were finding rice in various places for days afterward!

The bridal party pose for the formal group shot. What a stunning back-drop. We don’t normally post examples of the formal images because I think many photographers hate doing them (as do many couples!) But, for many, they’re an essential part of a wedding – a historical record of the people their and what they wore etc. When you’re as organised as Ian & Sam were on their wedding day, these images can be taken pretty quickly and then everyone gets back to the party. Well worth the effort eh?

Ian & Sam – what a day! We loved every minute. Even the travel was entertaining for us ;) Have a great honeymoon & we’ll catch up with you very soon.

Wedding Photographer: Ripley Castle, North Yorkshire: Ged & Jo

Amy & Andy were the Wedding Photographers at Ripley Castle for the wedding of Ged & Jo.

Weddings at Ripley Castle are a privilege for a photographer – it really is a stunning venue. Ged & Jo were married in the All Saints Church, Ripley and then the wedding moved into Ripley Castle itself. Weather is often a concern in the UK but for Ged & Jo it turned out beautifully and everyone was able to make the most of the setting. Let’s see some images!

I particularly love this image of Jo, her Dad and the bridesmaids making their way up the path to the church.

We weren’t allowed to photograph much in the church – it’s often the case with British clergy unfortunately. However, here come Ged & Jo – just married!

What a fabulous day and a big thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome. It was also great to catch up once more with Lee & Kate whose wedding we photographed in Barcelona. We’re off to Southern Italy for our next wedding – a different set of challenges including some crazily-high temperatures. Ciao for now!
