Last week I headed deep into North Yorkshire to join Annie & Jason for their pre-wedding practice shoot at the beautiful Fountain’s Abbey Fountain’s Abbey is a seriously cool place. In my opinion, the most impressive of England’s derelict Abbey’s by a long shot, and I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a whole bunch of…
A week or two ago I joined Tracey & Chris for their sunny pre-wedding shoot in Leeds! Although they’re getting married at the lovely Rudding Park near Harrogate, we met up at a place that’s special to them, around The Mansion in Roundhay Park. We started our photographs around the hidden away Specialist Gardens, on the edge of the…
This morning I joined Simone & Stu, old buddies of mine, for their pre-wedding practice shoot ahead of their wedding this Saturday! After their wedding ceremony at Leeds Town Hall they’re hosting their reception celebrations at The Foundry Wine Bar, near Bridgewater place on the edge of town. I love it round this industrial area of Leeds…
Last Sunday after a weekend’s activity up in the lakes (blog here), I caught up with Natalie & Rob for their pre-wedding practice shoot! Although they’re getting married up at Bolton Castle in the Dales, I’m familiar with the venue already (check out a previous snowy visit here), so instead of doing the shoot there, we…
Last week I joined an upcoming wedding couple called Kelly & Ben for their pre-wedding catch up and practice portrait shoot They’re soon to be hosting their wedding celebrations at The Bridge Hotel & Spa near Wetherby. It’s a venue I’ve photographed at before and is a lovely spot indeed. Spring is finally starting to…
A couple of weeks back, when we had that ridiculous Spring snowfall, I headed up to Whitley Hall Hotel, North of Sheffield… …to meet Jenny & Danny, who’ll be getting married there in May! After a coffee & a catchup, we took the opportunity to snoop around this elegant 16th century mansion to familiarise myself…
Last weekend I joined Kim & Tim for their pre-wedding catchup ahead of their wedding at The Merchant Adventurer’s Hall in York in a few weeks. I like to catch up with all my couples before their big day to catch up on the big day plans over a brew, before heading out for a practice photoshoot….
AMAZING! Barnaby, you’ve really captured our personalities (complete fools) thank you so much! Kim
Kim and Tim make a cute couple.
Yesterday I joined up with Rachael & James, whose wedding I’ll be photographing at the magnificent Ripley Castle near Ripon, this very Friday. I usually meet couples around a month before their big day for pre-wedding meeting and practice shoot, and the reason I caught these guys so close to their wedding date is because they’ve flown home…
Last Saturday I joined Kate & Sam for their pre-wedding shoot in the pretty Yorkshire market town of Bedale ahead of their wedding at Bedale Hall. I photographed a wedding for their pals (entertainingly called ‘Katie & Sam’), who thew a brilliant shotgun, quad bike & horse-centric country knees up (check out the blog highlights here) and…
Eeeek! Thanks Barnaby, they look brilliant! Feel so much better about ‘the real thing’ now 
Kate
Last week I joined Julia & Harvey for their pre-wedding shoot at The Royal Horticultural Societies Harlow Carr Gardens near Harrogate. I’d not actually met these guys before, as – rather rarely – they’d booked without having met me. I generally meet all my clients before they book to check we’re all on the same…
Lovely photos! Do we all need to practice jumping before the big day????
Great photos Barnaby. I’m planning this wedding for Harvey and Julia, they are a gorgeous family and it’s going to be a wonderful day with lots of fun details for you to capture xx
