York Wedding Photography

York Wedding Photography for Katherine and George. This lovely couple got married at St Wilfrids Church in York on a very very rainy day! We took an opportunity during a small break in the rain to get some photos in the Minster Gardens before the reception was at the lovely St Williams College 

It is so lovely to be asked to be the wedding photographer for Katherine and George. Katherine is a photographer herself! We knew each other as we had both worked for the National papers as freelance photographers.  Being asked to capture another photographers wedding day is a real complement.

Bridal Prep

The Weddig morning began at the home of the brides parents the bride and her twin sister were getting ready together, a beautiful relaxed bridal prep. Having twin by your side is a pretty wonderful thing and the atmosphere was so lovely and chilled. The weather outside didn’t matter- its the one thing that you just cant pick or control so whatever the weather you kind have you Make the most of it. My top tips for wed weddings are having an umbrella and some wellies or spare shoes so we can still get outside !

York Church Wedding

St Wilfrids Church is a beautiful building situated right in York City Centrer. The one thing about city centre weddings in the rain is that the transport is never easy !

St Wilfrid’s Catholic Church is a stunning Gothic Revival church built in 1864 a very short distance from York Minster. It is the major Roman Catholic place of worship in York and features outstanding stained glass, sculptures, and paintings. After the wedding ceremony we took a few quick portraits near the minister as the rain has stopped. The colours were divine!

St William’s College Wedding Reception

St William’s College is a grade 1 listed venue in the peaceful precinct of York Minster that perfectly showcases the medieval history of York. The Grade I listed building is named after William Fitzherbert, Archbishop of York (1143 – 1147), who was canonised in 1226.

The timber-framed building is situated in College Street, to which it gave its name, adjacent to the Minster and was in use by the Chantry Priests until the 16th century. From thereon and into the 17th century St William’s was divided up into apartments rented to some of York’s more affluent residents.

One of York’s most atmospheric buildings, St William’s is said to be haunted. One ghost reportedly roams the college for his brother after being wrongly implicated by him in a murder of which his brother was guilty and a 17th-century murderer haunts the corridors.
