Jordan and Clare were looking for somewhere a little different to do their engagement photoshoot. We decided to go off the beaten track behind the stunning Swinton Park Hotel, up to the Druids Temple near their Bivouac site. The Swinton Park estate spans an incredible 20,000 acres, and the Druids Temple is actually known as a Folly. This means it's been built primarily for
This weekend I met up with my clients Jamie and Katie for their engagement photoshoot. We decided to have the session up at Sutton Bank, near Thirsk. It was local legend James Herriot who gave the scenery its famous accolade - Englands Finest View. This warm Sunday evening certainly lived up to that statement. A stunningly clear, sunny vista across North Yorkshire's rolling fields. They're
Last month Clare and Peter tied the knot at Rudding Park near Harrogate and what an incredible day it was. I'm thrilled now to be able to share a selection of their wedding photographs! Set amid 300 acres of picturesque grounds, on a strikingly sunny day, Rudding Park really was the perfect venue. With fantastic staff and coordinators on hand at every part of the
Around a year ago, at 8:30pm, I received a phone call from a bride-in-need. She was due to get married the following day and her photographer had caught covid. Ruth had put the word out on social media and I'd been recommended (thanks guys!). Normally, wedding clients book between 12-24 months in advance.

This weekend I caught up with one of my wedding couples, Clare and Peter. We were meeting to photograph their engagement/pre-wedding photoshoot. This is a relaxed photoshoot included within the cost of every wedding booking. It's a great chance for us to get to know one another, given we'll be spending most of your wedding day together! It also gives you the opportunity to spend
Kirsty and David married at The Hawkhills, a stunning 18th century stately home in Easingwold, North Yorkshire. Due to the pandemic their wedding day had to involve some restrictions. Not wanting to be dissuaded from a party though, they decided to split their day in order to have the celebration with all their friends and family that they'd planned. Thankfully I was able to accommodate
Rob & Annabel married earlier this year at the stunning Goldsborough Hall. A 16th Century house near Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, which was once the home of Princess Mary. It truly is a spectacular place to host a wedding! The bridal party started the day in style with presents of champagne and flowers from the groom. A beautiful summer's day allowed for guests to enjoy
I had the pleasure to photograph Sarah & Jack's wedding earlier this year and I'm so excited to share a selection of their wedding photography! The ceremony was at a beautiful Church in East Harlsey, followed by a reception at the East Harlsey Village Hall. A beautiful day from start to finish. With affiliations to the military on both sides there were plenty of immaculate
"Initially this was a blog post from a Q&A on my social media pages about how the business has managed throughout the Covid pandemic. However it seemed a good opportunity to talk in a bit more depth about Oliver Dixon Photography. The journey of not just a Wedding Photographer through Covid 19 but also about the personal side of running a business. It's a long read
We were lucky last weekend to manage to get out ahead of the government lockdown announcement and shoot Tom & Louise's engagement photographs. It was a slightly surreal session compared to our usual engagement sessions as we all had to observe the social distancing measures in place and be extra conscious of the other people around us. However we still managed to have a great
