Wedding and portrait photography in Harrogate, York, Yorkshire

Juan and Viviane married on 2nd May 2017 at Swinton Park, Masham

Swinton Park has such a lot to offer a bride and groom who wish to have a wide range of wonderful wedding photographs, and Juan and Viviane recently took full advantage of the gardens, the lake, and the hotel to ensure that we captured a varied and amazing set of wedding photographs. Viviane’s bridal preps were in the Wensleydale Suite, where she got ready with her sister, before walking to the Panelled Room (always a favourite of mine) for the ceremony, accompanied by her father.
She wore an intricate wedding dress by Jenny Packham, with hair and make up by Naomi Jackson.
The afternoon drinks reception was held at Swinton Park, and then we ventured out with Viviane and Juan to explore the gardens and capture some lovely photographs.
The newliweds then enjoyed dinner in Swinton Park’s beautiful Library, with views in all directions of the glorious gardens.
Congratulations to Juan and Viviane on a fabulous wedding day, please enjoy this selection of highlights from your day, I look forward to showing your full selection of wedding photos once you are back from honeymoon!

Autumn weddings at Rudding Park – Sarah and Tim

All we ask at autumn and winter weddings is that the weather will hold for us and hopefully we can secure some lovely photos outside. Such was the case at Sarah and Tim’s mid November wedding at Rudding Park, and yes!! we did manage to get some lovely photos outdoors as well as some absolutely gorgeous darling images inside.

Sarah and her bridesmaids got ready at Rudding Park itself, with flowers supplied by the ever efficient Colette. The first part of the day was a civil ceremony held in the Radcliffe Room, for 130 family and guests, followed by a blessing in Rudding Park’s glorious chapel. Drinks and canapes were served in the Drawing Room, Blue Room and Library, before guests were invited to take their seats for dinner back in the Radcliffe Room.

Centre Piece was a magnificent Cake of Cheese, as Sarah and Mark shared their favourites cheesy indulgences, with the table names also called after their favourite places and cheeses. The night was finished off with a good old Scottish Ceilidh.

Here is a selection of my favourites from the day, with a few more over on my Steve Ramsden Photography Facebook Page.
