Elin & Will at Burtonfields Hall, York.

Elin and Will got married this May at Burtonfields Hall, York. Elin and Will wanted the day to feel relaxed, intimate and joyful and it was all of those things. The weather was beautiful and Burtonfields’ grounds were awash with sunlight and colour. Elin and Will are the most lovely, laid-back couple and the most important thing for them was that they were with one another and all the people they love.

Burtonfields Hall is the most beautiful private home and is fast becoming one of my favourite wedding venues. The attention to detail is second to none and the venue’s old drawing and living rooms make this the perfect space for couples who want their wedding to feel intimate. Despite the venue’s history and stylish decor it succeeds hugely as feeling like home.

Elin, Will and some of their guests stayed the night before in Burtonfields’ stunning bedrooms. Elin and Will chose to get ready together which felt intimate and gorgeously romantic.

Elin’s beautiful pre-loved wedding dress was chosen with sustainability in mind. The previous owner said they hoped it had gone to a good home and it definitely had.

Elin and Will’s wedding ceremony took place in Burtonfields Hall Billiard Room. Each said their own vows and the spring breeze filled the room as the doors to the grounds were kept open.

Floral design was by sustainable florist Clock Dandelion. The flowers were so vibrant and joyful and worked beautifully with the vibe of the day.

After the ceremony everyone headed out into the May sunshine to throw confetti, enjoy a drink and one another’s company.

We took some time with Elin and Will to make portraits of the two of them. We chose to do this at two different times of day so that the light and mood felt different each time. This is a beautiful way of ensuring your photographs tell the full story of your wedding day - you want to remember how the light and breeze felt, how the sky looked, how the flowers danced and how the birds sounded as you enjoy a few moments alone as a couple.

Speeches were meaningful, emotional and gorgeous. Speeches were followed by a meal by Dom’s Kitchen. We were lucky enough to enjoy the meal too and the asparagus tart is one of the nicest things I have ever eaten!

The bow in Elin’s loose curls was such a gorgeous detail.

The day ended with a ceilidh with music by The Tartan Trio.

It was such a joy to be part of Elin and Will’s wedding day. In Will’s speech he said that Elin radiates love but they both do. Their day was truly representative of who they are as a couple and Burtonfields Hall was the perfect setting for their late spring wedding.

Chloé & Anthony

Chloé and Anthony got married this summer in Wentworth, South Yorkshire. Wentworth is one of my favourite places and, if you’re local, it’s maybe one of yours too - it’s picture perfect and all the pubs are in walking distance from the church meaning the day flowed in a really easy and relaxed way. Chloé and Anthony’s wedding was filled with fun, joy and love from start to finish.

Chloé got ready with her family and friends at home and Anthony got ready at The Rockingham Arms then took the short walk to Wentworth Church.

The walk from Wentworth Church to the Rockingham Arms was perfect for capturing moments between the newly married couple.

We headed to The Rockingham Arms for drinks, speeches and the wedding breakfast. The converted barn at The Rockingham Arms is perfect for laid back couples who want their day to feel relaxed and informal.

The barn was filled with hundreds of candles which created a warm and intimate energy.

After dinner Anthony set up a pop up whisky and cigar bar for him and his friends in the grounds of the pub. The photos with smoke from the cigars worked really well with the backlight of the summer evening’s low sun.

The party was in full swing as soon as the cake had been cut and first dance had been had.

Before we were due to leave we noticed the sun setting and a rare opportunity for golden hour photographs on the fields behind The Rockingham Arms. Chloé and Anthony were up for leaving the party for five minutes and I’m so glad they were - it was the perfect way to end our day with them which had been gorgeous from top to bottom.

Love,

Laura
