The Fig House at Middleton Lodge is the most breath-taking North Yorkshire venue, with the restored Middleton Lodge Walled Gardens surrounding the private wedding venue, complete with sandstone terrace, kitchen garden, wildflower planting and the luxurious fig plants within the orangery style Fig House wedding venue itself. If you’re thinking about a Middleton Lodge wedding, and looking for a relaxed North Yorkshire wedding photographer, then look no further!

Tom & Kate were married at St Boltoph’s Church, Carlton, North Yorkshire, followed by a farm style country marquee wedding reception in September 2019. As a professional wedding photographer based in Yorkshire, it was an honour to capture their photos of this beautiful example of a rural wedding setting. DIY personality unique to the couple was used within the marquee – perfect to capture all of those detail wedding photos - with haybales for drinks tables, a tractor wheel as the seating plan, and farmers market slips for place name settings.

It’s been so great to be back at photographing couples for engagement shoots and intimate weddings after the crazy year of 2020 and in late May, I finally met up with Jacob & Suzie, who have had to postpone their wedding date twice due to the Covid pandemic. They plan to get married at North Yorkshire wedding venue, Crathorne Hall for their July wedding. After an unusually wet May we were treated with sunshine and a warm afternoon for their engagement photography shoot at their wedding venue in Yarm, North Yorkshire.

I met up with Rebecca & David at Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge, for their engagement shoot in July ahead of their September wedding. Here’s a selection of their Hardcastle Crags Engagement photography. An engagement shoot (or it can be called a pre-wedding shoot or couples shoot!) is a great opportunity in front of the camera if you’re shy or not used to the feeling of being photographed. It’s a relaxed session, so there’s no need to be nervous as we’ll be having fun in no time!

I recently met up with Helen & Paul at Yorkshire Sculpture Park for their engagement shoot ahead of their wedding in July. They wanted a countryside setting for their engagement photography as a contrast to their city wedding photos at Stockport Town Hall & Seven Brother Brewery. Yorkshire Sculpture Park delivered with so many photo opportunities mixed in between the sculptures, lake & woodland!
