A wedding that I’ve been wanting to share with you for months now at Castle Howard! Growing up in York I spent quite a few days out with family at Castle Howard, I can remember saying a few years back that it was my ‘ultimate venue’ in Yorkshire and I have wanted to photograph a wedding there ever since I started in wedding photography. When Jacinta and Jay booked me for their wedding day to say I was jumping for joy was an understatement (I think I even did a little dance when the email came through haha!) With Jacinta and Jay living in Australia we had to do their pre-wedding shoot a few days before the wedding and took a walk around the grounds and inside the castle, the ceremony was at 5pm at the end of September so we knew the light was going to be limited but thankfully when the wedding day came around the clouds were high in the sky and we had a stunning sunset. It was definitely one of my highlights of 2013, a beautiful couple inside and out and a really fun crowd. Both Jane Nordlii (Castle Howard’s wedding co-ordinator) and Kymm Queen (of Queen Flowers) did an incredible job of making the day run like clockwork down to military precision. It was great to have Jo Bilham and Kizzy Edkins along on the day to help get the girls ready and looking amazing
