We were up in North Yorkshire recently with Joanna and Mark for a fabulous day of Allerton Castle wedding photography. I absolutely love this venue and it didn’t really matter that the weather wasn’t the best, the building is so stunning that you just don’t really notice the rain outside ! This venue is a very impressive Gothic revival stately home, built in the 1840’s and apparently once owned by the ‘Grand Old Duke of York’. It certainly provided many interesting backdrops for the photography.
Joanna and Mark were a lovely couple to work with and the day had a really relaxed feel and a lovely atmosphere. I arrived to find the girls in great spirits getting ready in a very luxurious bridal suite. Later Mark arrived with his best man and took the opportunity to greet the guests whilst having a game of pool in the billiard room. The ceremony went without a hitch and Joanna looked absolutely stunning making her grand entrance down the great staircase with her Dad.
Fortunately we got a break in the rain which allowed the guests to very enthusiastically shower Joanna and Mark with, what seemed like, a tonne of confetti! Joanna also got the chance to throw her bouquet to the girls and I heard mention of it being aimed very well as apparently the right girl caught it, to much applause! The rest of the day went really well with a fabulously funny set of speeches at dinner and then a brilliant first dance routine. I was also very impressed with the guests who piled onto the dance floor to rock the night away.
Thank you to Joanna and Mark for choosing me as your Allerton castle wedding photographer. It was a pleasure to photograph your day and all the best for your future together. Thank you to the venue for being so accommodating on the day. For further information please see the bottom of the post.
