Hi, I'm Ruth
... welcome to my website

Hi, I'm Ruth - a wedding photographer based in Borrowby, Thirsk, North Yorkshire but will travel to West Yorkshire, Teesside, Durham and even further ( including abroad ) should you wish.

We've all been to weddings where the photographer took over the wedding. Well, I'm a wedding photographer who concentrates on capturing moments and being as unobtrusive as possible, leaving you to be with your family and friends and enjoy your wedding day. I love capturing emotion and laughter and telling a very real story of your wedding day, so if you like the idea of a relaxed photographer, please take a look at my website, gallery, packages, and for my latest work please see my blog and follow me on the social media sites. If you like what you see please get in touch and we can meet up for a chat.

Not all photographers are the same .......

2019 Wedding Photography Review

Just a few of my favourite moments from 48 wonderful 2019 weddings In Yorkshire, Newcastle and Austria.

Destination Wedding Schloss Mittersill , Austria

Becky, who is originally from Austria first met Josh, a Yorkshire lad, when he attended a ski coaching course run by her Sister. She said he arrived like a whirlwind and after striking up a friendship they soon realised they were meant to be together and Becky moved to Yorkshire to start a new life with him.

What my customers say

"Ruth is a lovely person and an amazing photographer! She made the effort to visit our house when we were decided who to go with to take our wedding pictures - after her visit, we did not want to see any other photographers! She was very professional, yet very friendly and shared our love of dogs which was an added bonus! Ruth kept us up to date with everything in a very timely manner and she went to extra mile to provide us with a free photoshoot (on a very windy October!!). On our wedding day, Ruth arrived promptly and she blended into the background (which is what we wanted) to ensure she captured 'real' moments of the day. Of course she also did some 'posed' pictures which were stunning and she got some brilliant pictures of us with our beloved Labrador Lacey. Her timely and efficient manner continued following our wedding. Ruth is such a lovely person and her photographs are fabulous too!"

"Ruth manages to combine professional competence & expertise with a friendly, personal, flexible approach. She is such fun to work with & nothing is too much trouble. So much that she seemed like a member of the family. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly excellent photographer."

"Ruth Mitchell is a fantastic wedding photographer. She met us before hand to get to know us and what we wanted. She was friendly, warm and unobtrusive on our wedding day. The photographs she produced were beautiful, natural and a perfect reminder of a very special day. I would recommend her to any couple wanting a flexible, lovely, professional, does exactly what you ask style of photographer."
