Emily and Kingsley's wedding at Ryther Church, Yorkshire
Venue: Ryther
So last Saturday saw us shooting Emily & Kingsley’s wedding at Ryther Church in Yorkshire. The rest of the week had been pretty decent weather-wise, but the forecast didn’t look too good for the day: heavy rain and strong winds broken up by periods of blue sky and sun. Very mixed.
With that in mind, when we first met Emily at her parents’ house for the bridal preps, it was clear that the weather was just a minor issue and the real focus of the day was her marriage to Kingsley. We’ve known Emily & Kingsley for a few years and know what they mean to each other. A perfect match for a perfect couple.
A tipi in the garden
In the ample garden stood a beautiful tipi, decorated to perfection, with room for lots of guests, a bar and, of course, a dance floor with the biggest disco ball we’ve ever seen. They had gone for a vintage rustic theme, which suited them perfectly.
As the morning drew on, it was time for Emily to put on her beautiful dress, which was handmade by her mum. It was the perfect style for Emily, and we were sure Kingsley was going to be amazed.
As a little (big) surprise, Emily’s parents had organised a horse-drawn carriage for her to arrive at the church in. Fingers crossed it wasn’t going to rain now, as the journey was going to take a good 20 minutes.
The ceremony at Ryther Church
We headed off to the church to see Kingsley for the first time that day and were met with a beaming smile from someone who couldn’t wait to see his bride. After a few groom and groomsmen shots, we could see the horse and carriage heading down the quaint lane. Finally the ceremony was here, and it went perfectly, with guests, family and friends all smiling to see the happy new couple.
Then it was time to head back to Emily’s parents’ house for their barbecued tipi wedding breakfast, the speeches and an evening of relaxing and catching up with family and friends. A brilliant end to a brilliant day.
We would both like to wish Emily & Kingsley all the best and a big congratulations again. Thank you for looking after us.
