Emily and Chris’s Tickton Grange Wedding with a Ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Cottingham

Emily and Chris’s Tickton Grange wedding was the perfect blend of heartfelt tradition, countryside charm, and laid-back celebration. With a ceremony at the historic St Mary’s Church in Cottingham followed by drinks and portraits in the gardens of Tickton Grange near Beverley, the entire day was full of meaningful moments and sunshine-filled joy.

A Beautiful Ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Cottingham

The day began at St Mary’s Church, nestled in the heart of Cottingham. With its tall stone arches, stained glass windows and peaceful setting, it made a truly special place for Emily and Chris to say their vows. The church felt full of warmth and excitement as family and friends gathered, including guests who had travelled from as far as Australia to be there.

As a two-photographer team, we were able to capture every angle of the moment. One of us was with Chris at the front of the church, catching his reaction. The other was with Emily as she stepped out of the car, holding her bouquet and her breath. These quiet moments – the nerves, the excitement, the deep breaths before the music starts – are always some of our favourites to document.

Tickton Grange Wedding Venue: A Hidden Gem in East Yorkshire

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests made their way to Tickton Grange, just outside Beverley. This East Yorkshire venue is a total gem. The Georgian house is elegant without being stuffy, the grounds are lush and peaceful, and the whole place feels tucked away and private. It is perfect for a relaxed countryside celebration.

Tickton Grange is especially close to Emily’s heart. Her parents were married there, so returning to the same venue brought an extra layer of meaning to their day. It felt like the perfect way to honour family history while beginning a new chapter of their own.

Relaxed Wedding Photography at Tickton Grange

Once everyone had arrived, we spent some time exploring the gardens with Emily and Chris. Tickton Grange has so many lovely spots for photos, from wildflower meadows and tree-lined paths to ivy-covered brickwork and golden fields just beyond the venue.

Emily looked absolutely radiant in her dress, and Chris couldn’t stop smiling. They’re the kind of couple who laugh easily and love big, which makes capturing their connection feel effortless. Between the joyful energy, the stunning setting and the natural light, it was a dream to photograph.

As a husband and wife photography duo, we love being able to capture every angle and every little moment. While one of us focuses on portraits, the other can grab candid interactions, stolen glances and all the bits you might not even realise are happening around you. It’s a relaxed approach that lets you enjoy your day while we quietly tell your story.

A Wedding Full of Love, Laughter and Sunshine

Emily and Chris’s Tickton Grange wedding was filled with the kind of moments that make you smile every time you look back. From the emotional ceremony at St Mary’s to the quiet garden strolls and confetti-filled laughter, everything came together in a way that felt joyful and genuine.

They ended the day with big plans. Heading off on a honeymoon to Bali to surf and soak up some well-earned sunshine. It felt like the perfect start to their next adventure.
