Ros & Kris Wedding Photos – Ripley Castle, North Yorkshire

julie — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:26:40 +0000

Stewart met Ros and Kris last year at a wedding he was shooting in Ireland so it was great to have an opportunity to catch up with so many familiar faces.

The wedding took place in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Ripley, starting at the church and then moving on to Ripley Castle after a quick interlude to release some doves and call in for some ice cream at Ripley’s famous ice cream shop (apparently it’s v. v. good) – take a look at the montage below!

Some of our favourites from the day are below, I particularly like the hand model Stewart used to take a shot of the ring – inspired! :) and the “Kung Fu” fighting first dance.

Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Ros or Kris for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.

Steph & Rob Wedding Photos – Duncombe Park & Feversham Arms, North Yorkshire

We love our job and we love all the weddings we have the privilege to photograph, but Steph and Rob’s wedding at Duncombe Park and Feversham Arms was one of our favourites of the year.

Steph and Rob are one of the most warm, caring and creative couples you could ever meet. Not only did they do all the flowers themselves, the wedding was jam packed full of fantastic detail and gifts for everyone. Steph even remembered it was Julie’s birthday and presented her with a cake on the day (thanks again Steph, it was lovely!).

Duncombe Park was a fabulous location for the ceremony and whilst the guests tucked into ice-cream cornets we managed to make the most of the house and grounds for some fun portrait shots.

Back at the Feversham Arms for the reception Steph and Rob were greeted by the extremely talented Vernon Sisters. If you’ve not hear of them, they are definitely worth checking out.

We managed to sneak away into Helmsley for a few more photos after the wedding breakfast which was great as there was the most fantastic clear sky. When we returned Steph and Rob decided to get in on the human pyramid that was being assembled in the bar. Definitely a wedding first for us, and utmost respect for managing to pull it off!

Below are some of my favourites from the day. Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Steph or Rob for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.

Hamsa & Tim Pre-wedding Photos – Swinton Park, North Yorkshire

Stewart Randall — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:12:15 +0000

Swinton Park is an outstanding wedding venue. The luxury castle hotel is located in Masham, North Yorkshire and if you haven’t been there, then you should go. The interior decoration in lavish, the food is first class and with 200 acres of grounds to explore there is plenty to do. Further more the Black Sheep brewery is just down the road – so what better excuse do you need?

Hamsa and Tim are getting married at Swinton Park with a civil ceremony later this month. I met up with them for a pre-wedding shoot where we took the opportunity to scout for locations and grab some fun images. The weather was changing fast which allowed me to shoot in to the sun for some lens flare before the clouds moved in to create more dramatic images. The find of the day had to be the green iron gate which will be the perfect backdrop to contrast against Hamsa’s wedding dress.

As a wedding photographer, Swinton Park has all of the qualities that a bride and groom would like in a venue – great architecture, beautiful interior and stunning backdrops. Can’t wait to get back there.
