A Sparkly Christmas Wedding with Adele & Stuart - Midland Hotel

This was the last wedding of the year and a Christmas one as well.  I love weddings at this time of year as it is all warm and sparkly and we were at the beautiful Midland Hotel in Bradford.  This hotel is a jewel and has everything a photographer could wish for, with sweeping staircases, stunning ball room and the railway concourse which has a vintage feel about it.  Adele & Stuart were having a lovely civil wedding with all their friends and family sharing the day with them.  Adele wore the most stunning dress which suited the time of the year and Stuart and the boys wore very unusual suits that looked similar to a military style - which also suited the venue.   One of Adele's bridesmaids was one of my brides from a couple of years ago and also by coincidence Adele's cousin and his wife was also a couple whose wedding I had photographed as well, so it was lovely seeing them all again - along with some friends from our local golf club.  The wedding was quite emotional and even though quite a lot of guests, it was still intimate and you could see the emotion of the faces of Adele & Stuart as they said their vows.  We managed to get lovely shots on the stairs and by the Christmas tree - along with some fun shots in the Railway Concourse.  I know everybody had a fantastic day and it really made my Christmas too - such fun.
