Capturing intimate moments against the backdrop of Askham Hall allows me to create images that not only reflect the love between couples but also the venue’s enchanting spirit. Each photograph becomes a blend of art and emotion, where the essence of the space elevates the story being told, making it a truly rewarding experience for both the couples and myself as an artist.
The gardens as well are amazing for portraits in the same fine art and natural style that I adore, creating emotive and romantic images any time of year!

Instead of the traditional dancing and late-night revelry, Sophie and Chris opted for a lovely candlelight dinner to end their day. There’s something incredibly intimate about sharing a meal by candlelight, isn’t there? It allowed everyone to relax, enjoy great food, and bask in the warmth of each other’s company without the distractions that often come with bigger weddings.
