Debbie & Jonathan’s special day was held at the beautiful Swinton Park in North Yorkshire. After all the snow we had at the beginning of February, which seemed to stay around for a long time, the thought of shooting this wedding knee deep in snow had crossed my mind. But as I drove up to this beautiful part of the world we had our first taste of spring. The snow had gone and it felt really mild. What a day for a wedding!
Debbie spent the morning getting ready in the Turret suite which has an amazing bathroom. After meeting up Debbie I spent some time walking round the hotel getting some detail shots when I noticed Jonathan sat on sofa in a quite corner. He was probably the most relaxed groom I have come across just a few hours before the wedding. The ceremony was a small intemate occasion in the Panelled Room of the hotel.
Afterwards we went outside to do some couple shots – It was warm enough (Just!) judging by the goose bumps on Debbie’s arms it wasn’t that warm – but we managed to get some great shots of them and Swinton in the background.
The couple had their reception in the Library which was decked out in a beautiful array of flowers. Speeches followed and then everyone retired to the cosy corners of the hotel to relax drink and play board games. It was a real privilege to be part of the day and to capture the day for Debbie & Jonathan.
then I will post it here but otherwise all posts will be on the TSG Blog.
