Rachel and Matt’s glorious autumnal wedding happened in September of last year at the beautiful Kilnsey Park Estate deep in the Yorkshire Dales. “Harnessing the inspiring beauty of nature, our outdoor weddings are perfect for those seeking a wondrously rustic and relaxed day” says the folks at Kilnsey and it really did and it really was, many times over indeed! What an amazing setting for an outdoor Yorkshire wedding, the views up the dale set against the incredible crag side overlooking the reception field made it a really special setting and an absolute photographer’s dream. The weather even played it’s part too - the rain (mostly) held off and we were treated to some glorious sunny spells and later a stunning sunset, what more could I possibly have wanted?!
Rachel and her group of bridesmaids got ready at the accommodation at Kilnsey Park while Matt and the boys put their suits on at a B&B on nearby Mastiles Lane. Rachel looked absolutely amazing in her resplendent floral dress and Matt equally dapper in his blue wedding suit. The outdoor ceremony took place in front of their nearest and dearest under the hand crafted oak pagoda in the ceremony field. After the I Do’s we paraded to the nearby Riverside Reception Field and the marquee on the banks of the river Wharfe in the shadow of the dramatic Kilnsey Crag. There was live music, canapés, fizz and lots of photos of course. Following was a delicious three course meal, speeches and more music and dancing into the wee hours. What a terrific day and one I was so pleased play a part in. Thank you so much Rachel and Matt for having me along to take your photos and to everyone at Kilnsey Park for putting on such a great wedding and looking after me! I’m aware I sound like a broken record but Yorkshire weddings just win on every front.
