Little Wold Vineyard Wedding - Jemma & Roger

Little Wold Vineyard Wedding Photography

Our last wedding of what was an absolutely incredible 2023 took us to Little Wold Vineyard to celebrate with Jemma and Roger and to end our year with a proper party!

Little Wold Vineyard, as the name would suggest, is a working vineyard and a very good one too with multiple awards for their wines. Sat at the top of the vineyard is a charming building that blends rustic charm with modern architecture, positioned perfectly with views looking back over the vineyard and out onto the Yorkshire Wolds.

We first met with Jemma and Roger for a pre-wedding shoot at the vineyard in the summertime, a shoot that ended with us sharing a bottle of wine on the terrace and discussing their wedding plans. Fast forward a few months and we were all back together again at the vineyard, this time with quite a few more people (most of South Cave) all there to celebrate Jemma and Roger’s marriage.

The ceremony room at Little Wold Vineyard has one wall which is completely made of glass, this giant window is the most incredible backdrop for a wedding ceremony with guests able to take in endless views of the Yorkshire Wolds. What made this day extra special was that the sun was setting during the ceremony, and wow, it was an absolute belter of a sunset!

Thankfully the epic sunset hung around long enough for us to pop outside and get a few portraits, in just a few minutes we were back in the ceremony room (which was already emptied of chairs thanks to the awesome team at the venue) to grab the last bit of the golden sunset in one of our favourite portraits of the year, framing the sunset in the big window with Jemma and Roger sharing a moment together.

Jemma and Roger had a few group photo requests and to keep everyone warm we did these in the ceremony room, this was all pre-planned so we had a couple of our studio lights ready to go and used the bare wooden walls as the backdrop.

This was such a fun bunch of people to photograph and once the groups were done we all took our seats at the long tables in the bar area to tuck into sharing boards of cheeses, meats and pastries, washed down with wine from the vineyard. Speeches and toasts followed with some absolutely brilliant stories shared, it was fab for us to move around the room and capture all of the heartfelt moments and uncontrollable laughter.

With more guests arriving in the evening we setup a mini photo booth using the glitter wall which was part of the venue styling provided by House of Hudson Events. This is something we’ve done at other weddings in the past, this time though Jemma and Roger took it to another level by bringing along a few props to encourage a few more people to get themselves into a photo. There are some absolute gems from this part of the day!

Before the first dance we braved the wind and asked for a few volunteers to join us outside to give Jemma and Roger a send off with some sparklers, it felt like we had everyone out there with us, it was epic! The wind just added to the energy, we love these photos so much!

The high energy continued onto the dance floor which was a busy one, we jumped in with everyone to make sure we got all the shapes on camera!

For many reasons this day felt like the perfect end to our wedding season, sending us into Christmas with a spring in our step and a real appreciation for how lucky we are to do what we do!

Thanks to everyone for been so great all day and chatting to us like you’d known us for a lifetime, some very solid beard maintenance tips to take away along with some beautiful memories!
