Although I am a wedding photographer based in The Lake District and Cumbria, I enjoy the opportunity to travel further afield. Claire and Chris are an extremely down to earth and fun loving couple from Ripon who invited me to capture the story of their wedding day over in Yorkshire. It’s not every day you get to shoot a wedding in a cathedral and I was excited to be able to show both the grandeur and scale of Ripon Cathedral, but also the intimacy of 2 people getting married surrounded by their family and friends.
Having attended the Cathedral School as a child, and more recently sneaked out to watch other people’s weddings from afar – it was now Claire’s turn to be waved and photographed as she got out of her white Rolls Royce and began the long walk up the aisle. Although Ripon Cathedral is epic in proportion, the wedding ceremony took place in the more intimate choir chapel, with fantastic old wooden carved Misericord seats and beautiful stained glass windows.
Chris and Claire’s wedding celebrations continued at The Old Swan in the spa town of Harrogate, just a few miles away. The weather was beautiful and all the guests enjoyed milling in the sunshine before and after the wedding breakfast.
If you are getting married outside of Cumbria and the Lake District but like my wedding photography please do get in touch.
