Last weekend I was lucky enough to shoot at brand-new, stylish wedding barn ‘The Oakwood at Ryther’, by the gang at the equally lovely exclusive barn Wedding Venue Hornington Manor.Â
The stars of the show were Katie + Sam – a fab pair from nearby Tadcaster, who rocked a full-scale, post pandemic wedding with all the (wedding) bells and whistles!Â
I joined their army of beautiful bridesmaids (and an adorable little flower girl who’d given herself a harry potter lighting bolt a few days previously!) for a relaxing morning with bacon butties and champagne, having their hair and makeup done in the airy converted barn overlooking Yorkshire’s stunning arable countryside. Meanwhile Sam, more a fan of football than photography, chose to dodge preparation photos and have the second shooter Joe join him at the ‘Coach and Horses’ pub in central Tadcaster for a few sharpeners with the boys before a short walk to the family church in central Tad.
The ceremony in St Mary’s was a relaxed affair with a chilled-out vicar (and the first I’ve seen singing allowed)! Afterward, a few hugs and a big confetti toss, they dived back in the Beauford and headed back to the Oakwood for delicious nibbles and drinks in balmy sunny afternoon weather. A few relaxed portraits, couple photos and afternoon mingling, and the masses headed into the Old Grain Store for speeches, a yummy meal and the evening shenanigans (with a fish and chip van even thrown in, for soaking up all the booze!).Â
It’s so lovely to see this generations-old family farm converted into such a perfect place to celebrate Katie + Sam’s special day!
So enough waffle! Grab y’sen a mug of Yorkshire tea (or something stronger!) and hit play on the slideshow below to check out their wedding highlights slideshow…
