Ripley Castle Wedding Photos

Ripley Castle: a beautiful and ancient castle wedding venue in the heart of North Yorkshire!

Weddings at Ripley Castle are a memorable affair!

This enchanting, Grade I listed Country home is the most quintessentially Castle-like venue I’ve probably ever photographed at!

Whatever the season, this is a truly stunning North Yorkshire wedding venue! Not only is overflowing with history and culture, green spaces and grand rooms, but it’s easy to get to, between Harrogate and Ripon!

With its picturesque castle and popular ice-cream shop, Ripley has been crowned North Yorkshire’s best village to live in.

Many of the weddings I’ve photographed here choose to get ready in the lovely Boar’s Head hotel (which is also a lovely gastro pub!)…

Wedding ceremonies can be held in 3 locations, in the ancient All Saint’s Church, upstairs in the East Wing, or in one of the amazing wood lined walls of the castle itself.

Any of the spots work to make a magical confetti moment!

Then as guests enjoy a glass of fizz and (usually typically Yorkshire themed) canapes, I like to take the couple for a quick lap of the amazing locations for portraits!

Come evening time, the castle also lends lots of lovely opportunities for amazing shots, before and after the dancing has started!

Barnaby is an amazing photographer, after looking at his portfolio before we booked him for our wedding we knew he was good, but when we got the photos they were even better than we could have imagined. Really professional and all round good guy too! From Anna and Stevan

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What I will say Barnaby is, he is not just a photographer, he is a solid friend/professional when it comes to any wedding. Seamlessly blending in with anyone and and everything, offering you genuine love and care. Your photos will tell the whole story and more letting you relive every detail. It was an honour and pleasure to have hired him for our wedding. We gave him a personal shout out (as he deserves) because he shows care and attention to his craft, making you feel at ease. Everything is thought out and carefully planned turning awkward photos into laughable and emotional photos you can confidently share with everyone and enjoy looking back on. 100% recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Barnaby for our wedding and what can we say… the photos were everything and more. Barnaby captured the day perfectly with real reactions and moments which transport us back to the day instantly. Not only were we totally in awe of them but they are loved by all of our friends and family who echo the same sentiment. Aside from the photos is Barnaby himself who does everything to put you at ease during the day and lead up to the wedding. He manages to navigate and organise group shots and entire wedding shots with complete ease - striking the perfect balance of humour and order. I would recommend Barnaby ten times over, everything was utterly perfect. Thank you once again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barnaby was the photographer for our wedding Sep 2026. Barnaby was friendly and helpful at the pre trial photoshoot and immediately made us both feel comfortable - hard to do given how awkward I feel in front of cameras. He asked us for a list of essential photos and ensured he got each one. Barnaby was also very adaptable when we decided to go for a bounce on a bouncy castle hosted by a local charity. He brought a joyful and confident energy to the wedding day and we were much calmer knowing he had it covered. He sent us our highlights so quickly after the wedding day and we were blown away with how many beautiful photos there were. Can't him recommend enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barnaby did the photos for our daughter's wedding on Saturday. By Monday evening, he had produced a fabulous slideshow and blog. There were so many beautiful shots! It is such a gorgeous summary of the day. He also did all this with a very pleasant manner. We are looking forward to the final album!

Barnaby captured our recent wedding perfectly and we would 100% recommend him to any couples looking for a wedding photographer. Throughout the whole process Barnaby was professional but also fun and made us feel at ease. Barnaby took the time before our wedding to get to know us and to understand the finer details of the day to ensure that nothing was missed. He was great with our guests and captured all the best moments!

Not only is he professional, he is one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. His photos are stunning and were everything I wanted. I would give him a million stars - highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic through the whole event, from pre wedding photos to help us get used to the camera to final big day shots! Completely invisible on the day. Incredible final photos. Wonderful to have someone like this to record and capture all the moments. Would absolutely recommend!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'Beautiful photos' 'Omg they are amazing 🤩 he’s brilliant' 'These are absolutely beautiful' Just some of the compliments we've had about our wedding pictures. Barnaby really put us at ease from the outset and made it easy to select him as our photographer. On the big day he got the best out of all our guests, even getting multiple smiles from the groom (quite the feat, they are hard to come by!) and capturing a life sized teddy bear on the dancefloor! Thank you Barnaby! 100% recommend

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Barnaby is a fantastic photographer and a true gentleman! He took time to get to know us before our big day, arranged a pre-wedding shoot to get us used to posing and made sure to capture all the best parts of our wedding on the day. Barnaby was kind, patient, has a brilliant sense of humour and even the dark rain clouds couldn't stop him from getting the best photos of our day! Thanks for capturing our day! J&J
