I just love Newby Hall for it’s gardens and wonderful calming atmosphere, and love having couples here for their engagement sessions. Claire and Gareth came over last week, and, despite telling me that they are not photogenic, proved the complete opposite! They are getting married in July in Harrogate, and I for one can’t wait to see Claire in her dress.
Dominique and Chris had a wonderful wedding at the gorgeous Goldsborough Hall. The weather was not as kind as they might have hoped, but needs sunshine when you have a venue as nice as Goldsborough?!
The bridesmaids dresses looked as stunning off the bridesmaids as on them!
Lynda Moss did a wonderful job with the flowers, with lovely summery colours:
How gorgeous are they as a couple?!
If you want to see more – there is a slideshow of their wedding photography and an online wedding photography gallery. The password is their new married surname.
fab pictures Rebecca – what a gorgeous couple – loving the one of them on the windowsill!
Beautiful images Rebecca, a gorgeous couple and venue too! I love the window sill one too!
Great images Rebecca at my favourite venue, love the moment you captured between Mum & Daughter and the couple sat on the window-sill
Shaman and Carlton are getting married in a few weeks at the lovely Wood Hall in Wetherby, I’m really looking forward to it as the grounds are so lovely and I can’t wait to see Shaman in her dress!
They came over to Newby Hall for their engagement session, late last Sunday evening. They were running a little late after a meeting at Wood Hall, but as it turned out they actually timed it perfectly. The light was AMAZING! You just can’t beat evening light like this. So romantic!
Dom and Chris are getting married on Saturday at the fabulous Goldsborough Hall, and they came to Newby Hall for their engagement session a few weeks ago. I’m looking forward to their wedding on Saturday and hoping for a nice day!
The gardens here at Newby are amazing for portraits. There are so many secret nooks and hiding places that are just great for engagement photographs (or any other portraits for that matter!). And for the brave among you, there is a little train as well ;-)
Where does time go?! I moved into my new photography studio/office at Newby Hall over two months ago now and am only just posting these photos. So without further ado, here goes:
Newby Hall is so gorgeous, when I drive up the drive to work in the morning I pretend it’s my house:
My sign. The offices are in the old stables, which is a lovely courtyard to the side of the house. Suits me fine, I’m at home in stables!
There are some rare breed sheep, and the cutest lambs roaming in the section of the park:
The courtyard seen from my door:
And the view to the park:
So, the inside. It’s only a small space, but it’s all I need. I can use the grounds for portraits and am not intending to do any photography in the studio itself, apart from babies. It was a beauty spa before (The Treatment House – they are now upstairs and we share the unit. They are lovely, if you need any beauty treatments you should call them!).
There was lots of glitter on the walls – you can see it here under the lights. It was also covering the entire chimney breast. It may not look like much, but take it from me, it’s not easy stuff to remove!
The glitter is slowly disappearing:
And up goes my wallpaper, and grey paint:
Almost done! Just got the sample frames and canvasses to put up on the walls:
There are some of them:
And, of course, some sweets. There’s not that many any more ;-)
A couple of vintage cameras I’ve collected. This one was my grandmas, both still work:
So there you have it. I’m doing more portraits now, and love the grounds here. There are endless places for interesting and beautiful photographs. If you haven’t visited yet, you should!
looks absolutely fabulous and i am in no way jealous :)
Oh it’s lovely Rebecca. Newby is such a gorgeous environment to inspire creativity. Lucky you xx
What a great place to work – it looks fantastic!
Wow it’s even nicer than I thought it was going to be – very jealous! You lucky thing and the grounds look terrific too! Bet you love inviting clients into that!
What an amazing place to have your office and studio, it makes me very jealous I want to have my studio somewhere like that too! It all looks very beautiful and I love your colour scheme and decorating. Well done you! :o)
What a gorgeous studio! I hope it proves to be a happy and productive work space for you and your new clients. I don’t know how you get any work done though, I would be on that chaise longue all day eating dolly mixtures!
Hi Rebecca, what a awesome place to work and fab backdrop for your photos. Well done and all the best for the future. Dave
Awesome space Rebecca. It must be so nice having clients visit you in such a great location.
Wow Rebecca – it looks so so so lovely. Can’t wait to visit and see your space in the flesh xxx
Fabulous, I am so jealous, that wallpaper is gorgeous and your displays really yummy.
Wow, what an amazing space to call your studio!
I was very excited to move into a brand new photography studio at Newby Hall on 1st March, and to celebrate invited lots of lovely people to join me for champagne and cupcakes! I’m very proud to say that I made them myself (and so far, noone has complained of food poisoning, but maybe they are just too polite…..)
Here is my cupcake station, complete with photography slideshow on my iMac:
I had my very own personalised cupcake flags:
Can you tell I have a sweet tooth? ;-)
Here are a couple more studio sneak peaks – full post and all will be revealed next week if you haven’t already visited!
Happy Tuesday everyone!
LOVE your new studio – would love to see some more pics! MMmm the cakes look delish! Very jealous!
Your new studio looks so clean and contemporary! Would love to see more! And the cakes… hmm – great touch :)
Looks beautiful Rebecca, I’m sorry I missed out on the scrumptious looking cupcakes! A x
I am an avid viewer and consumer of cupcakes and I so impressed with your set-up AND your ice piping work!
oooooooo it looks just perfect – i hope it will be a perfect base for you, it will set your work off perfectly ! all the best
Love the new studio Rebecca, although I’d love to see some more pics or a grand designs type tour! Gutted I missed out on those cupcakes they look divine!
Naomi and Robin’s beautiful wedding has been a big hit! The photographs have been featured on Rock My Wedding, and now they are on the Australian wedding inspiration blog Polka Dot Bride! Both these sites are fantastic when you are planning a wedding, with lots of ideas and eye candy. It’s an honour to be featured.
Here’s a sneak peak:

It’s the studio opening this weekend, I hope to see you there! After that, lots of photographs will be on here!
Little Keegan was born three weeks early, so when I photographed him at two weeks old, he should have still been in Mummy’s tummy. I think he is the smallest baby I’ve even held, yet alone photographed! You can see for yourself how cute he is:
This is my favourite from the session:
I’m now offering a ‘Watch Them Grow’ program for new babies, with three mini portrait photography sessions over the course of their first year. I will photograph them in the studio at Newby Hall when they are newborn, six months old, and then again at one year. It’s amazing how much babies change in their first year, and what better way to document it?! Each photography session will last for 30 minutes, and the whole program will cost £125. This is a perfect gift for a new Mum in Yorkshire. Just get in touch if you’d like one of our portrait vouchers to give to a new Mum (or yourself!).

Olivia was a dream to photograph, cute, chubby and happy. What more could a photographer ask for?! I love photographing happy babies!
In some very exciting news, I have almost completed the move to the new photography studio at Newby Hall! I have the exclusive use of their stunning grounds for child, family and couple portraits, and baby photographs will take place in the studio. If you are interested in family portrait photography please just give me a call.
Photos of the studio to follow soon! It’s close to York and Harrogate, so convenient for people traveling from the whole of Yorkshire for portrait photographs, or to discuss their wedding photography!
cute baby – love the one with the Mum and Dad, that’s a living room wall print that is :)
Sweet! What an angel and what lovely shots of her.
Another great series of images Becca. I can see a these taking pride of place at Olivia’s house.
A real investment and timeless memories.
Very cute! Loving the B&W’s!
