Ribblehead Viaduct Pre-Wedding Shoot | Yorkshire Dales Engagement Photography

Pre-wedding shoot at Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales - Alex and Becca

Engagement photos at Ribblehead viaduct

I recently met up with Becca and Alex for their pre-wedding shoot at Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales. This iconic location is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Yorkshire, with its dramatic stone arches and incredible views across the surrounding countryside.

Natural pre-wedding photos

Pre-wedding shoots are always a great chance for couples to relax in front of the camera before the big day, and Ribblehead Viaduct provides the perfect backdrop. With wide open landscapes, beautiful natural light, and the striking structure of the viaduct itself, it’s easy to see why this spot is so popular for engagement and pre-wedding photography in the Yorkshire Dales and rambling alike.

Including Their Dogs in a Ribblehead Viaduct Pre-Wedding Shoot

Including their dogs in the shoot was something that felt really important, not just to them but to me as well. It adds such a personal layer to a pre-wedding session, and having them there made everything feel even more relaxed and true to who they are as a couple. The dogs brought a lot of energy (and a bit of chaos in the best way), which led to some really natural, candid moments.

One of my favourite parts of the session came when Alex, in a surprisingly romantic move, suggested we take a photo by one of the arches where the number matched their wedding date. It was such a thoughtful idea and a lovely way to tie the shoot back to what’s to come — those small, meaningful details are always the ones that make a session feel truly special.

If you're planning a pre-wedding or engagement shoot in the Yorkshire Dales, Ribblehead Viaduct is definitely one of the most spectacular locations to consider.

These pre-wedding photos at Ribblehead Viaduct were a perfect warm-up before their wedding at the Falcon Manor in Settle. I can’t wait to capture their day there wedding day!!
