There’s just something magical about winter weddings, the cold crisp days, cosy ambiant interiors, great skies and maybe even the chance of snow. Winter time provides stunning photo opportunities on wedding days that make them such a pleasure to photograph, especially when the wedding venue you are working at is the grand Swinton Park near Masham in North Yorkshire. It is a stunning wedding venue for those cosier wedding days. My day started bright and early on the morning of Fiona and Andy’s wedding day as I wanted plenty of extra time for some exterior photographs of Swinton Park and grounds before we joined Fiona for her bridal preparation photographs. The lake outside of Swinton appeared calm and looked ideal for reflections of Swinton, it was only after getting closer we realised this was because the upper surface was actually frozen! So there definitely was a chill in the air. I was able to cover both of the bride and groom preparations as Fiona was getting ready in the bridal suite and Andrew arriving almost ready to finished off and open his gifts in Swinton’s renowned billiard room. The wedding ceremony took place in the library before we quickly ventured out for a large group photograph before guests made their way to the drawing room for the drinks reception. Following wedding breakfast and speeches in Samuel’s restaurant guests made their way back to the library for the evening reception. Following first dance and some music from a live band we finished off our wedding photography coverage with outdoor photographs using sparklers for the bride and groom and all their wedding guests.

Winter weddings, the low sun can cause a number of problems but can also create stunning effects with long shadows and clean crisp light.
