A Beautiful Summer Wedding at Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey

Maria began her morning just 15 minutes from Tithe Barn Bolton Abbey, getting ready with her eight bridesmaids in a gorgeous Airbnb. Spirits were high as everyone prepared for the big day. With the ceremony set for 1pm — and the busy summer traffic around Bolton Abbey in full swing — I’ll admit I was a little nervous she might arrive fashionably late! But Maria made it right on time, looking absolutely stunning as she walked into the barn to start her day.

After a heartfelt ceremony came one of my favourite wedding traditions — the confetti throw! Against the dramatic backdrop of Bolton Abbey ruins, the newlyweds were showered in colour before we captured some relaxed family photos. The nearby fields and the front of Tithe Barn provided the perfect spots for portraits of the happy couple. For couples wanting something extra adventurous, there’s always the option to head into the Abbey ruins for photos (though do bear in mind there’s a charge to access).

As always, the wedding breakfast at Tithe Barn Bolton Abbey was flawless — Cripps & Co never disappoint with their incredible food. Once everyone was recharged, we stole a moment outside for some dreamy golden hour portraits before the evening party kicked off. And what a party it was! With Ziggy on the decks, the dance floor stayed full all night long.

Before I left, we rounded off the evening with a sparkler shot under the marquee lights — a perfect ending to a truly unforgettable day.

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings at this north Yorkshire barn venue several times now, and it’s always a favourite. With breathtaking views, incredible food, and a dance floor that never fails to deliver, it’s a Yorkshire wedding venue that really does have it all.
