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 .......

Have you decided to get married abroad or outside Yorkshire but would like to take a trusted UK photographer with you ?
A pre wedding shoot is a great way for us to get to know each other and a great way to practice for the few naturally posed pictures I will take at your wedding.
Last Summer I was very proud to be named the British Institute Of Photography Yorkshire Reportage Photographer Of The Year. Here's a little blog to explain my natural style of wedding photography.
Just a few of my favourite moments from 48 wonderful 2019 weddings In Yorkshire, Newcastle and 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.
"Ruth was brilliant throughout the entire process, from picking the book to getting our actual book of pictures. She helped the day to run smoothly. Without Ruth we would not have got to do the whole confetti thing, and she managed to get wonderful pictures of my bridesmaids looking natural and comfortable. Ruth went out of her way to drop by our house the morning of the wedding, to use our spare key and rummage through my partners pants draw, to find the present he'd bought me and forgotten for the morning of our wedding!! Who else would do that for a client. Ruth is fantastic and the end project is beautiful and a lovely reminder of the best day of our lives so far."
"Ruth undoubtedly provided us with the highest quality of customer service, care and professionalism any bride and groom could have asked for. As soon as I met Ruth, I know she was the photographer for me. Her boundless energy, enthusiasm and willingness to listen to what we wanted as clients impressed me very quickly. Each and every guest commented on how wonderful she was on the day and have since commented on how wonderful our wedding photos are. Many friends have asked, who was your photographer and would you recommend her? The answer was without any hesitation absolutely! Ruth Mitchell is an amazing professional who listens with care to provide the attention to detail her clients want. The level of customer service before, during and after our wedding was of the very highest quality. Nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough."
