How lovely to end the week with such a perfect wedding. Meg and Evie were married at York Register Office and their day is full of love and personality. The two brides took a walk through the park which looks so special – one of those unforgettable wedding day moments. Their images are stunning, so I will let those speak for themselves! One favourite piece of advice from the happy couple before we begin, though: “It’s the time you spend together and with your loved ones that matters the most“. I think that’s really special. Enjoy!

Wedding photographer website + review

York & North Yorkshire wedding photographer Joss Denham

Joss did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Neither of us love being in front of a camera but felt totally at ease with Joss for both the posed group shots and the candid, natural photos where we didn’t even notice him nearby. Joss did a great job of directing us and our family and friends to get the shots we wanted, even getting everyone ready for the confetti throw. Our photos all look amazing and we are so pleased we chose Joss as our wedding photographer, and an extra bonus was how quickly he edited the images so we could view our online gallery only 5 days after the wedding!

We got married at York Register Office and then had our reception at The Plough, Fulford. We wanted a casual day and both of these venues were well suited. The Plough is my family’s pub/restaurant/B&B so it felt special to spend the day there. We would definitely recommend both of these venues.

The flowers

Meg’s gran picked flowers from her garden for both of our bouquet’s and the flowers on the tables. It felt special and sentimental to have her grow and arrange our flowers and they looked a bit wild and rustic which we think looked great.

Wedding cake

We had a 2 tier cake from Nelson Bakery, one tier was lemon and the other was chocolate orange. It was decorated with tiny red hearts to match our nail art.

What would be your top tip for a future couple getting married?

Organise everything as far in advance as possible so you can relax on the run up to the wedding!

What advice would you give to a future couple to do/not do to make sure their guests have a great time at their wedding?

We would recommend creating a guest book filled with photos of you both when you were younger and then of all the key memories you have together. Our guests all loved looking through and leaving comments for us in the book. It gave everyone something to talk about and felt special to include photos of memories we have with each guest and also those no longer with us. We did it in chronological order starting with some baby pics, then toddler etc through to current day and put images of us both around the same age side by side with captions to tell people where the photo was taken/how old we were etc.

Are there any areas or items you would advise future couples not to spend so much money on?

Everything!! None of it really matters – it’s the time you spend together and with your loved ones that matters the most. No one will remember half of the details.
