Countryside marquee wedding

I love travelling for work and having been home bound for so long, I snapped up the chance to photograph a countryside marquee wedding in Yorkshire.

Kelly and Dominic set out to create a relaxed, informal and rustic stage for their big day. And they easily achieved at this Cowparsley wedding venue in South Stainley, Yorkshire. Large fields set amongst glorious Yorkshire countryside provided the perfect backdrop for this couple to wed among their closest family and friends.

GETTING READY

Kelly got ready at her home in Harrogate together with her sister, mum and niece. A beautiful cottage with stunning gardens made for perfect getting shots. Then her father, brother and brother in law arrived for what a lovely family ‘bride reveal’ before some stunning garden family photos.

COWPARSLEY WEDDINGS

Cowparsley weddings provided a stunning marquee which was beautifully decorated with wild flowers. The marquee provided space for both the intimate ceremony for 60 as well as seating for dinner and the dance area. A countryside marquee wedding is a great idea for those to blend a rural feel together with comfort and space.

You can add the rustic charm that comes with having oodles of field space. Kelly and Dominic achieved this by adding hay bales and outdoor games for the guests to enjoy. It was a total honour and joy to photograph this wedding – huge congratulations to Kelly and Dominic. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world.

review from dominic and kelly

“We cannot rate Pippa highly enough. We are so grateful to her for capturing our day so beautifully. From the outset, Pippa communicated clearly with us and sought to understand what was important to us as we planned our wedding day. On the day, she moved around so discreetly but yet was able to confidently capture some incredible shots. She has a very special gift in how she sees and captures those unique moments. We are so thankful for the way that she’s produced so many photographs that really express the joy and the love that was very tangible for us and our guests. We love how she’s captured the relationships between people in such a natural way. She put us and our guests at total ease and her professional, sensitive and kind approach was an integral part of what made our day so special. We would highly recommend Pippa!”
