Brian Harte People Photographer

Recently I was wedding photographer for Helen & Peter Massey’s wedding at Nostell Priory in Wakefield. Helen had mentioned to me that they had something special planned for the first dance but I wasn’t privy to exactly what it was. So, to much excitement I had my camera ready when the music started.

Here is one page of their wedding album showing the first dance…

And here is the video posted on Youtube…

You may remember Helen and Peter from their engagement shoot photographs. Nostell Priory is a fabulous 18th century National Trust property available for weddings in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. You can either book a wedding as a civil ceremony and have access to the rooms or get married at Nostell Priory’s church and have your reception in The Riding School. Dine Services arrange weddings at Nostell Priory and their website can be visited here.

There will be more photos to follow when the retouching has been finished.

For all you couples out there who want to be a bit different, or just think you are super cool, take inspiration from these guys.

Getting on down to Thriller by Michael Jackson with the whole bridal party involved is the most original first dance I have seen. If any of you are planning to do something like this remember to tell me so I can make sure I am ready with the camera!

It looks like one or two of them had a little less practice (or more alcohol) than the rest.
