Summer Garden Wedding in Yorkshire | Vineyard Wedding Photography | Kat & Jim
If you're dreaming of a relaxed, elegant outdoor wedding in the English countryside, Kat & Jim’s vineyard celebration in Yorkshire is full of timeless inspiration. From their ceremony at a village church to garden drinks at Kat’s childhood home and golden-hour portraits among the orchards & vines, this wedding was full of love, light, and personal touches.
As a Yorkshire wedding photographer, these are the kinds of days I love to document — heartfelt, naturally beautiful, and deeply rooted in place.
Getting Ready
A Personal Church Ceremony in the Yorkshire Countryside
Kat and Jim were married in a charming village church in Yorkshire, surrounded by family, friends, and the kind of peaceful countryside that makes Yorkshire weddings feel so special.
Kat arrived in a vintage car with her father, the July sun casting dappled light across the churchyard. The ceremony was emotional and full of warmth, with a heartfelt reading by Kat’s sister and lots of laughter woven through the vows.
If you’re planning a Yorkshire countryside wedding, village churches offer an intimate, meaningful setting — especially when they hold personal family significance.
Garden Party at the Bride’s Family Home
After the ceremony, guests gathered at the bride’s childhood home, just down the lane — a classic Yorkshire home with mature gardens, shady trees, and a relaxed, romantic atmosphere.
Champagne flowed, lawn games began, and the scent of summer roses filled the air. With music floating in the background and guests enjoying the garden, it felt like a true celebration of home, love, and legacy.
Planning a garden wedding in Yorkshire can be a beautiful way to keep things personal, local, and filled with warmth — and when you add long summer evenings, it’s even better.
Dinner & Dancing at a Local Yorkshire Vineyard
Lastly, everyone headed off to a nearby vineyard & restaurant. The setting was magical with beautiful vineyard views, and a laid-back dinner that flowed into dancing under the stars. The couple snuck away for golden hour couple portraits among the vines, the light soft and cinematic as it dipped behind the hills.
Yorkshire vineyard weddings are perfect for couples who want something elegant but relaxed — and the backdrop of vines, sunsets, and open space makes for stunning photography.

My style is all about natural, documentary-style wedding photography — capturing the real moments, gentle light, and everything in between. I don’t stage things. I help you feel comfortable, present, and relaxed in front of the camera so your images feel like you.
