The bridal suite is a lovely light space with its own patio door leading out onto the beautiful Fig House gardens. The bride tribe can have a relaxed time here in the morning, preparing for the day ahead and maybe having a glass of Prosecco to calm the nerves! - ![Middleton Lodge Wedding Photography - Bridal Preperations](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-5-1.jpg) - ![bride laughing whilst having her makeup done](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-20.jpg) - ![bride and bridesmaids sitting on some steps outside the bridal suite and laughing](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-23.jpg) - ![Bridal party in pyjamas celebrating outside.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-21.jpg) - ![Bridal party's joyful reaction to bride's entrance.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-46.jpg) - ![Women joyfully clapping and smiling at event.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-47.jpg) - ![portrait of the. bride in some window light at Middleton Lodge](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-29.jpg) - ![bride looking out of a window at Middleton Lodge](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-30.jpg) - ![Bride in white dress at open window](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-54-scaled.jpg) - ![Bride smiling in white dress with bouquet.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-58-scaled.jpg) - ![Bride and bridesmaids poised in the doorway of a rustic brick building surrounded by greenery.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-10-1.jpg) - ![Bride and bridesmaids in garden](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-61.jpg) ### Walking the Garden Wedding Aisle Walking the aisle has never been so special as walking down the winding path through the beautiful Fig House gardens. If you are lucky enough to have a sunny summer day you will make this lovely entrance through colourful flowers and lush green foliage. A perfect start to an English country garden ceremony! - ![Bride walking down garden aisle with escort.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-77.jpg) - ![Bride walking down aisle with father at wedding](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-79.jpg) - ![bridesmaids walking down a path towards the wedding ceremony](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-54.jpg) - ![bride and her father walking down the path to the wedding ceremony at Middleton Lodge](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-55.jpg) - ![Two women in purple dresses holding bouquets and smiling at each other while walking through a garden.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-20-1.jpg) - ![bride and her father walking down the garden aisle to the ceremony at Middleton Lodge](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-21-1.jpg) ### Middleton Lodge Wedding Ceremony The wedding ceremonies at the Fig House are set outside on the courtyard if the weather is nice. It is a beautiful location with the rustic Fig House building on one side and the gardens on the other. The couple hold hands and say their vows with the sun shining and the flowers in full bloom. Both of these ceremonies went without a hitch with plenty of love and support from family and friends. - ![bridesmaids crying during a ceremony at Middleton Lodge](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-65.jpg) - ![bride and groom saying their vows](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-66.jpg) - ![Couple smiling during outdoor wedding ceremony.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-80.jpg) - ![Bride reading vows outdoors, smiling.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-84.jpg) - ![ceremony on the Middleton Lodge estate](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-62.jpg) - ![Wedding couple triumphantly walking down the aisle.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-98.jpg) - ![Outdoor wedding ceremony under leafy tree canopy.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-82.jpg) ### Confetti in front of the Fig House After the ceremony couples will usually go back into the Fig House barn to sign their register. They will then emerge into a tunnel of guests eagerly waiting to bombard them with confetti. This is one of my favourite parts of the day and is really enjoyed by both the couple and their friends and family. From a photography point of view, I particularly love it when that one guest steps into the confetti aisle to lob a great handful in the bride and groom’s faces. There is alway one! and it is always received with much laughter! - ![wedding couple being bombarded with confetti on the Middleton Lodge estate](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-76.jpg) - ![Bride and groom walking through confetti at wedding.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/wedding-photography-pricing-in-yorkshire-2.jpg) ### Middleton Lodge Couple Photos Middleton Lodge is one of my favourite venues for couple photos. The extensive and varied colourful gardens provide a fantastic backdrop for the images. Lovely winding pathways and arched doorways in the garden walls also provide some great photography opportunities. If the bride and groom choose to have a few couple portraits we usually spend 20-30 mins wandering around the grounds. My aim is always to capture them naturally on camera so I encourage them to walk and talk together, share some jokes and just relax and be themselves. We were blessed with beautiful colour and light on both of these wedding days, which allowed for a limitless number of photography options. - ![Middleton Lodge Wedding Photography - couple portrait in the gardens](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-38-2.jpg) - ![A couple dressed in wedding attire share an intimate moment amidst a blooming garden.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-40-1.jpg) - ![Couple embracing in sunny flower meadows at Middleton Lodge](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/kmp-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-39.jpg) - ![wedding couple embracing under an archway at the Fig House on the Middleton Lodge estate](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-87.jpg) - ![Bride and groom walking in leafy garden path.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-137.jpg) - ![Happy couple in autumn garden wedding](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-131.jpg) - ![Wedding couple walking in autumn garden.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-128.jpg) - ![wedding couple kissing](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/fig-house-middleton-lodge-wedding-95.jpg) ### Wedding Speeches at Middleton Lodge I love to photograph a grand entrance and there is always an opportunity for one of these at Middleton Lodge. The couple’s walk into the Fig House from the courtyard to much applause from their family and friends. They sit down to a fabulous feast at long wooden rustic tables adorned with flowers and foliage. The speeches always go down a treat here and are lovely to photograph in this beautiful light airy space - ![A bride and groom holding hands, entering through a doorway to applause from guests.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-48-1.jpg) - ![Bride and groom celebrate at wedding reception](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-155.jpg) - ![Bride laughing joyfully during a wedding toast as guests look on.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rmwed-yorkshire-wedding-photographer-54-2.jpg) - ![People celebrating at a formal event, smiling and waving.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-158.jpg) - ![Dining table under rustic chandelier in stone room.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-168.jpg) - ![Wedding guests clapping and smiling at reception.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-163.jpg) ### Evening Festivities The evening festivities can take place at either of the two large rooms in the Fig House. Both Immy and Matt and Becky and Mike and Ellie & Tyler had fabulous first dances that went down a treat with their family and friends. Afterwards guests joined them on the dance floor to rock the night away. - ![Bride and groom dancing at wedding reception](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-187.jpg) - ![Bride and groom dancing at wedding reception.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-188.jpg) - ![Bride and groom first dance surrounded by guests.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-191.jpg) - ![People dancing with glow sticks at party.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-200.jpg) - ![People dancing with glow sticks at party](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-197.jpg) - ![Women dancing joyfully at a lively party.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-195.jpg) - ![Happy couple celebrating at a wedding reception.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-192.jpg) - ![A couple pour champagne into a tower of glasses, smiling and celebrating in formal attire at an indoor event.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-202-scaled.jpg) - ![Couple pouring champagne on wedding day celebration.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-203-scaled.jpg) ### Night time creative photography at Middleton Lodge If I have time and the conditions allow I like to end a wedding day with one or two creative night time portraits. See a couple of images below from Ellie & Tylers day capturing them under the autumn foliage and in front of the fire pit. - ![Couple under illuminated foliage at night](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/middleton-lodge-wedding-100.jpg) - ![Couple dancing romantically by firepit at night](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-206.jpg) - ![Couple kissing by fire outside elegant venue.](https://kmattssonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/kmp-etblog-207.jpg) ## Natural Wedding Photography at Middleton Lodge My photography approach to the day is very natural and most of the day is covered in a documentary style.
