Following an extremely busy working weekend, it was high time for some downtime. C’mon, even a blogging machine like Brides Up North needs some non-screen time. Since we woke to crisp blue skies, I spent this morning out and about with my baby girl and her grandparents soaking up the autumn colours, fresh cold air and pretty vistas that surround our Yorkshire home. A pub lunch and a large Monday lunchtime glass of Sauvignon Blanc (very decadent – your Monday is my Sunday, remember!) and I’m back at home feeling happier, cosier and with distinctly more rosy cheeks.
This afternoon’s feature is full of the good stuff too – pink noses, chunky knits and cute kisses. And all that wholesome stuff aside, I’m wondering where our bride to be got that fabulous parker jacket. Total winter coat lust.
Let’s join Rachel and Scott as they share their engagement news with a seasonal shoot at the beautiful Castle Howard.

Rachel says: The day that Scott proposed was a really sunny day in spring and we decided to go to York for the day. Scott kept insisting that we go down by the river to find somewhere quiet but I wanted to find a wine bar to enjoy the sunshine. In the end we stopped on a bench in the park and he pulled out a little blue box and got down on one knee. I quickly said yes and told him to get up as people started clapping!
We are getting married in June 2014 at Castle Howard.
We met whilst working together travelling Greece. We were friends to begin with and after many ‘bar dates’ in Greece he finally took me on a real date to a Moroccan restaurant!
After our working holiday I returned home and Scott came to see me for a ‘weekend’ and never went back to London – the rest is history.
I love Scott’s ability to always make me smile and our biggest wish for married life is to stay as happy as we are today.
We chose to have an engagement shoot to get to know our photographer a little more but also to have an idea about what location in the grounds of our venue would be most suitable for photographs on the day of our wedding.
We thoroughly enjoyed the engagement shoot and I think it definitely helped us relax a little bit and act more natural with each other in front of the camera. We’ll be back to share our Real Wedding story with Brides Up North next year!
Congratulations Rachel & Scott!
