Gemma and Jame’s wedding photography at Allerton Castle, North Yorkshire

Gemma and Jame’s married in a civil wedding ceremony at Allerton Castle in North Yorkshire. Bridal preparations were taking place over in Harrogate which is where I joined Gemma, her mum and bridesmaids where at just after 9 AM the champagne was already flowing and the ladies all busy preparing for the big day ahead. With make up and hair complete the group made their way to Allerton Castle to finish off their preparations and get dressed ready for the 1230 wedding ceremony whilst I joined James, his ushers and best man in the billiard room for photographs.

The weather held nicely and after the wedding ceremony guests enjoyed a drinks reception in the memorial garden before the wedding breakfast. Another stunning Allerton Castle sunset ensured we were out on the lawns just after seven for some more photographs before the couples first dance heralded the start of the evening reception. At just after 2130 the guests assembled on the south lawn for an impressive firework display.

The following images from their day include several we featured on the large screen during the evening reception. Some fast work on the Macs allowed us to even show a few sunset photographs taken literally minutes earlier on the Allerton Castle terraces.
