Intimate ceremony

The day was based around central York. I began with with Rachael and her wonderfully supportive bridesmaid Ellen as they prepared at The Judge's Lodging. Along with Mary-Flora and Alan we then all took a wonder through town, the Museum Gardens and onto the registry office.

Jack was waiting there. Alongside a handful of friends and family they tied the knot, smiles all round!

Back through town 

On the way through town Rachael & Jack diverted past the Abbey ruins, the Minster and McDonalds (we didn't go in). There was a grand arrival at the centrally located Guildhall York where over a hundred guests had gathered to welcome the newly married couple. It is a fantastic riverside venue set back from the busy streets but as central as is possible. 

A day of celebration

Rachael & Jack hosted a day of joy, of dance, music and good food (the brownies!). The fantastic Ceilidh band Eriskay Lilt kep everyone on their feet - I would always encourage couples to have a live band and these guys were perfect as they catered for both the Ceilidh and pop music side of things!

It was my privilege to be there and as usual I got in amongst it all, circling, chatting and of course, dancing, to get those intimate and candid shots that try to capture a sense of the emotions and joy on the day. Hopefully you can get a good sense from this selection....
