They married in the nature SURROUNDED by loved ones, by a humanist celebrant, rob from Tying the Knot Ceremonies. they chose a half days coverage.
Here are some of the highlights of their day at camp katur / The Camp Hill estate, bedale.
I started taking photographs when the guests were arriving, the whole place was magical. Full of whimsical beauty - in the natural woodlands what could go wrong! (Except for the weather but we were in luck the temperature was comfortable and the skies stayed dry! The ceremony itself was done beautifully, with a quiach cup (Scottish tradition) full of whiskey and the ring exchange, along with a few readings. It was just right! Lou looked breathtakingly beautiful and Sumit had the happiest expression all day long. It was all so special!
After the ceremony, we took some couple photos in the woods of course! Then we headed into the nearby tepee where the speeches were held - and of course, where the food was served. We were hit with 5 minutes of rain but thankfully everyone was inside by then! Soon after the speeches were complete it was time for me to depart. But we definitely got so many gorgeous moments captured in the half day I was with them. Then, they partied long into the night with their best friends and family! Thank you for the trust Lou & Sumit. What a day!!
Lou and Sumit’s Reflections:
“We first met Carys at a wedding fair at the Armouries in Leeds and from that moment we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer! We wanted someone who could help us look good in photographs (we’re not naturally good at posing!) and who could be friendly, personable and put us at ease. As well, we wanted gorgeous photographs that not only captured the “big moments” but that also captured the emotion of the day. All these were challenging thing to find in one photographer, but from the moment we met Carys, we knew we had found them!
On our wedding day, Carys was calming, professional and personable, effortlessly blending into the background while capturing every moment. Her professionalism and attention to detail ensured that no moment was missed. She communicated well with us and helped us to look incredible in our photographs. Her extraordinary talent goes beyond “just” capturing images—she captures the very essence and emotion of the day. Every candid laugh, intimate glance, and joyful moment was beautifully preserved.
When we received our unedited photographs, we were utterly blown away. Each image is a showstopper and beautifully composed, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding day over and over again. Carys’s genuine passion for her work shines through and we cannot wait to see the edited versions – when we get around to choosing them!
We cannot recommend Carys highly enough. Her dedication, creativity, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with. Thank you, Carys, for giving us memories we will cherish forever!”
