The weekend of the 2nd of June was a pretty special one for me, not only was it our own 1st anniversary I also got the chance to photograph an incredible festival inspired wedding in the Yorkshire Dales. Amanda & Matt got in touch and explained that they would absolutely love me to do their photos and that if I wasn't available then they may not even get a photographer - how could I refuse! When we met to discuss the plans I knew this wedding was going to be perfect! 

Now, something Brides always worry about, me included, is the weather and I am so proud to say that even though it rained, a lot, on Amanda & Matt's day they did not let it phase them! I was blown away by the way the guests grabbed brollies, moved the ceremony indoors and embraced the English weather. Amanda strode out into the glorious buttercup field with no umbrella and made sure to wipe the rain drops off Matt's forehead; making for even more intimate and beautiful photos. 

These guys had a blast and it just goes to show that if it does rain on your wedding day, embrace it and it won't matter one drop!

When I first met Ruth & Stevie we chatted about how OK it was to have a spotify wedding playlist and the recent purchase of tickets to see flight of the concords, from that moment I knew I was going to have a blast at their wedding. Made up of two parts - a Leeds ceremony with 3 witnesses and then two weeks later we headed to Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds for a grand affair with all of Ruth & Stevie’s nearest and dearest; including Parker the Greyhound!

Ruth wore an incredible floral gown by David Tutera and she had chosen beautiful bridesmaids dresses and flowers in tones of pink and peach to compliment it. A turquoise camper transported them to the abbey where Stevie and their guests awaited their arrival. 

Just after the really personal ceremony the sun began to shine and it made for some incredibly lit images of guests enjoying themselves and for portraits of the newly weds. We even manaegd a sneaky trip up to ‘Surprise View’ in Otley; a place Ruth & Stevie love. 

The reception was held in Robert Craven Hall in Bramhope and had been lovingly decorated by Ruth, Stevie and some kind wedding guests the day before. Bunting galore and an Indian Street food truck made the hall feel like Ruth & Stevie’s perfect party. I have no doubt the dancing went on until the curfew, with a lot of flossing throw into the mix, and I am hopeful these photos will help them to relive the day over and over again!
