Engagement Moments at Stone House 💍
We were delighted to welcome Alex and Adriana back to Stone House for their engagement photo shoot in October.
This transatlantic couple have many special memories of staying at Stone House and exploring the Yorkshire Dales, so it felt only right that they chose to return to this much-loved place to capture the beginning of their next chapter.
The photographs, taken by the very talented @arphotography.2023, feature some of Stone House’s most recognisable spots - all beautifully framed by that soft autumn light.
We wish the happy couple all the very best for their upcoming wedding and look forward to welcoming them back to Stone House for more celebrations in the near future 🍾🥂
