Lizzie and Evan had a fabulous wedding day at the stunning Ripley Castle near Harrogate. I’m very proud to be one of the few recommended Ripley Castle wedding photographers so I cover quite a few weddings at this lovely venue. We started off with preparations at the Boar’s Head pub, a lovely little country pub owned by Ripley Castle. All the girls were on fine form when I arrived and looking forward to a lovely sunny day ahead. The couple chose to have their ceremony at Ripley All Saints church, just over the road. The ceremony went without a hitch and the couple were showered with confetti as they left the church. Ripley is blessed with some stunning scenery and we utilised the grounds for some lovely couple shots in the gardens and by the lake.

If you are planning a wedding at Ripley Castle check out some images from Lizzie & Evan’s day below. For more information about my photography style please see the Approach page and the Portfolios page or feel free to get in touch below. I’d love to talk talk to you about your upcoming wedding and see if I could be the photographer for you 🙂
