Country House Shoot

Recently I had a great opportunity to shoot at nearby Middleton Lodge, a private country mansion set in 250 acres of grounds near Middleton Tyas in North Yorkshire.  The venue is much sought after for weddings, corporate events etc but also incresingly so as a backdrop for photoshoots. There were some great rooms to shoot in, tastefully decorated with period furniture, and also a really interesting cellar area.  The grounds are beautiful too, unfortunately we were unable to venture outside due to the “Great British Summer”!!  Model for the day was the lovely Lucy Baty who travelled down from Newcastle with make up artist Alex Pretswell making up the creative team.  We worked right through the day trying to fit in as many outfits / rooms as we could and  I was delighted with the images that we created, below is a selection of just a few of them.  Big thanks to the staff at Middleton Lodge, Eric Murphy and of course to Lucy and Alex who were great fun to work with.
