Great news! The Wedding Affair at Ripley Castle was a great success.  We weren't actually present at the event but we were asked to build the stand using our images for Ripley to help promote them.

Hope all those who attended had a great time, we have had lots of enquiries and we look forward to seeing all you brides at Ripley again soon.

The picture used to promote the event by the Wedding Affair on their website is one of Javan's pictures.. here it is....

Over the last several months we have put a lot of time into creating what can only be described as the most sensational voucher yet. They cost just £285.00+VAT including a sitting in our beautiful 17th century barn conversion studio, your very own web gallery to view all the images on and one print of your choice of any size. 

The vouchers come in beautiful hand made boxes with ribbon and tissue, a perfect gift for under the Christmas Tree.

For the first time we are in the process of creating a whole new collection of wedding albums and disk only packages specifically designed for couples who are discerning and are looking for contemporary or traditional but with a level of quality unsurpassed, both in its presentation and its materials. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, call in to our gallery on Strawberry Dale and see what we can offer you we would love to see you!

We have been commissioned by the Coniston Hall to create some emotive and beautiful imagery of this venue to help promote the weddings that they do there. Had a great day out and about the Coniston Hall Estate.

Great Wedding at Newby Hall, Congratulations to Natalie and James, biggest splash of the year - one of the photographers fell in the pond.

Throughout 2009 Sir Thomas and Lady Ingilby have been celebrating 700 years at Ripley Castle. The Ingilby family are believed to be amongst one of the oldest families in the country to still live in the same residence. The latest event to be held is “People, Places and Faces”, a charity outdoor photographic exhibition which is being held from 10th until 20th September 2009 in the Castle’s magnificent gardens.

Javan Liam, who is based in Harrogate and currently regarded as one of the UK’s leading photographers, has produced the exhibition to include many amazing photographs from his travels around the world which highlight the diversity and depth of his work.

The photographs are for sale and the proceeds are being donated to The PPR Foundation which is launching its appeal at the exhibition to fund research into brain tumours. The foundation was set up by Pam Roberts who lives in Harrogate and whose husband died of a brain tumour. Brain tumours are more often than not killers and at present it is one of the most underfunded of all cancers. The two charities, Candlelighters and Andrea’s Gift, have undertaken to build a research laboratory in Leeds and the £1 million Pam is aiming to raise will fund the highest calibre researcher for the unit.

Said Lady Ingilby: “Over the past year we have been celebrating 700 years of the Ingilby’s at Ripley. This is our final and largest event, and probably the most exciting. We think Javan Liam has extraordinary talent and this exhibition gives us all the chance to enjoy the people, places and faces lucky enough to be caught by his lens. We wanted to raise money for charity during our celebrations and it seemed more than fitting to help Pam Roberts, whose husband Peter was a dear friend of ours, to launch the PPR Foundation at the event.”

A beautiful late summer's evening saw over 200 invited guests attend the opening of the exhibition of photographs by Javan Liam held at Ripley Castle.
