The Sykes Barn Sledmere Estate Wedding | Zena and Liam
IRAQI YORKSHIRE FUSION
When the awesome Zena & Liam first dropped an email into the Shutter Go.. Inbox. The subject title read "Iraqi Yorkshire Fusion." Hows that for an attention grabbing headline to get the head spinning in anticipation. Of course what these guys didn't & couldn't tell me was just how frickin incredible this adventure was going to be. Especially with a Yorkshire wedding venue of spectacular awesomeness like Sykes Barn at Sledmere Estate.
Zena & Liam are both architects based in London so I was all kinds of excited to see the transformation for this proper Yorkshire barn wedding over at Sledmere Estate. I have to say it sure didn't disappoint. With beautiful printed decorations, an architect drawing board adorned with the coolest hand drawn table plan. & food & drinks prepared & catered for by none other than Zena's family & friends. This fusion at Sykes Barn in Sledmere Estate wasn't simply about bringing together two families. But was about making these empty rooms a collaboration of love.
In every last moment I have been privileged enough to spend with two amazing people. This is just a tiny scratch in the surface of what makes them so magnetic. As Zena & Liam got ready to embark on an adventure around the world. Here's to some photographs of where that journey truly began.
Adventure awaits...

This Sandburn Hall wedding in York was nothing short of SPECTACULAR. I gotta say it wouldn't have mattered if the beautiful grounds were replaced with lacklustre scenery. Because this day was only spectacular because of the LOVE between these two & those that matter most.

FIRE FLIES brought Jo into Andy’s arms amidst those that matter most. The Norman’s is featured on my list of BEST Yorkshire wedding venues & jeez every time I photograph there I’m reminded why.
