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 .......

Yorkshire Reportage Wedding Photographer Of The Year

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.

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 was amazing from the first time we met her, she made us feel so at ease and comfortable. We wanted our wedding to be a very relaxed, happy occasion, and Ruth's natural style of photography reflected this perfectly. We absolutely love the photos she has taken and just can't decide how we will ever choose just 130 for our album, there are so many amazing shots, I can't even pick my favourite. I can't praise Ruth highly enough, she has captured the feelings and emotions of our day so that we will be able to save the memories forever."

"Ruth provided exceptional advice and service from the moment we met at the Crab & Lobster wedding fayre. Ruth's wedding photos are outstanding and she really captured some amazing natural moments which we are so thrilled about. We did not have the best of weathers on our wedding day and the registrars delayed the start by about 40 minutes but Ruth remained very cool and calm and ensured that the photos we wanted were taken along with many other shots. She was innovative and was also extremely dog friendly and she adored taking photos of Honey our golden retriever. We had a second wedding celebration on the 2nd June which Ruth wasn't aware of but she still managed to get the photos ready within one week so we could do a slide show of them on our television for all our guests to enjoy. I will be recommending Ruth to all my friends."

"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."
