A Spring Wedding at The Fig House, Middleton Lodge | Editorial & 35mm Film Photography in Yorkshire
Spring weddings have a magic all of their own—soft light, fresh blooms, and a feeling of new beginnings. This beautiful day at The Fig House, part of the Middleton Lodge Estate in Yorkshire, captured everything I love about natural and editorial wedding photography. Documented on both 35mm film and digital, it was the perfect blend of timeless romance and contemporary style.
Editorial Wedding Photography in the Heart of Yorkshire
As a Yorkshire wedding photographer with a focus on natural, editorial imagery, I’m always drawn to weddings that feel effortless yet deeply meaningful. The Fig House is a dream venue—bathed in natural light, surrounded by gardens, and filled with subtle architectural charm that lends itself perfectly to my style. Shooting on 35mm film here brings out textures, light, and emotion in a beautiful and organic way.
Getting Ready at Middleton Lodge
The morning started with laughter and quiet anticipation. The bridal party wore tonal greens that felt fresh and understated, setting the tone for the day. The groom and groomsmen looked effortlessly elegant in neutral suits, perfectly complementing the natural surroundings of Middleton Lodge in springtime. The soft, pastel tones of the season worked beautifully on film, giving each frame an organic, editorial quality.
Flowers by Sprig and Thistle
Florist Sprig and Thistle created stunning floral arrangements that added a romantic softness to the Fig House’s already elegant interiors. Wild yet refined, their florals perfectly mirrored the natural aesthetic of the day. Capturing them on 35mm film gave the blooms a painterly quality that made every image feel timeless.
Documenting Real Moments
One of my favourite things about natural wedding photography is the ability to tell a story through real, unscripted moments. From spontaneous laughter in the garden to quiet glances during the ceremony, every part of Liz & Ric's day felt personal and beautifully unposed. The mix of digital and film allowed me to document both the precision of editorial detail and the depth of human emotion.
Why The Fig House Is a Dream Venue
The Fig House is one of Yorkshire’s most beautiful wedding venues. Nestled within Middleton Lodge Estate, it offers a serene, stylish setting filled with character and light. Whether you’re planning a spring wedding or celebrating in another season, it’s the perfect canvas for a relaxed yet elevated day.
If you're looking for a Yorkshire wedding photographer who captures natural moments with an editorial feel—and a touch of 35mm film magic—I’d love to tell your story.
