The Mercure. St Pauls Hotel, Sheffield

The final wedding of 2019 was in the centre of Sheffield at the Mercure Hotel and after checking out the venue, I was keen to start taking pictures.

I met Laura in her 2nd floor room which overlooked the city from a large bay window – the light was pouring into the room and it was every photographers dream.

Laura and her bridal party laughed and joked as they had their hair and makeup finished off and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Wedding time

As always, it was a pleasure to work alongside Tom from Marvellous Videography and I met him as he went back and fourth between Laura and Lees rooms.

We both stayed with Laura as her mum and bridesmaids helped into her beautiful ‘Rebecca Ingram’ dress – she looked absolutely stunning!

After taking a fair few photos, I hot footed it down to the ceremony room and met up with Lee who was looking very dapper in his suit from Marc Darcy. We got a few pictures of Lee and his brother and awaited Lauras arrival with her dad.  Lees emotions were running wild and the handkerchief made several appearances as he stood at the front of the aisle.

Laura was led into the room by her bridesmaids and she followed with her dad…..wow, what an entrance – she looked amazing as she walked down towards Lee.

After a lovely ceremony, we went up into the private function area for pictures and canapés with family and friends.

Lee and his son even managed to squeeze in a crafty picture with Sheffield Wednesday footballer – Barry Bannan.

A few emotional speeches and a lot of dancing rounded this amazing day off for Lee and Laura.  Thank you for letting me be a part of it. I wish you both all the best for the future…….. Matt
