2020 // LOVE + MAGIC AGAINST ALL ODDS

This year has seen:

A first dance to a brass band in the car park when receptions weren’t allowed // elbow bumps and kisses blown // a wedding planned in three days to get in before November Lockdown 2.0 // face masks for guests hastily made to match outfits // a wedding allowed to have 30 guests with only a day to spare // champagne toasts from a car boot in a lay-by following a ceremony in Tier 3 // sanitiser table favours // would-have-been wedding guests waiting outside ceremonies to show their love from a distance // Zoom and Facebook broadcasts from church..

It’s been love and magic against all odds.

Claire + Hamish | Howard Court Tipi Wedding, North Yorkshire

When you mix North Yorkshire with Scotland for a wedding celebration in a field I guess it’s pretty typical that you have to throw some rain into the mix too? I heard it’s lucky for a wedding day, so there you go..

Alex + Dave's Testimonial - Whinstone View Wedding, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire | Wedding Photography + Stop Motion Wedding Films

“Sally has done a few of our friends weddings so as soon as our date was booked, she was my first email! On the day, she was fantastic! She fit in so well on the morning with my parents and bridesmaids and put everyone at ease.

I never felt like I was being photographed and that’s exactly what we wanted - I properly cried when we got our preview photos - they couldn’t be more perfect!”

Alex + Dave | Whinstone View, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire | Stop Motion Wedding Film

Never have I ever come away from a wedding craving a glass of fizz quite so much.. Alex and Dave had a champagne-inspired Wray’s Barn wedding at the beautiful Whinstone View near Great Ayton in North Yorkshire. I've loved shooting weddings at Whinstone View so much in the past because every couple can really put their stamp on this beautiful Wray’s Barn venue and it has a totally different feel every time.. Alex and Dave celebrated in style and their wedding was wonderful to be part of. Here is their stop motion wedding film..

Can we stop and just gaze for a sec at these two beautiful people..! Haleema and Sam tied the knot last Thursday after being together since they age of 14 (*that's* commitment..). They celebrated at Whinstone View and had beautiful handmade and travel-inspired touches decorating the barn.. an absolutely beautiful day. Here are their previews..

Sophie & Chris | Whinstone View, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire

A Whinstone View wedding is always *even* more special when there are three of you celebrating - is becomes a full family celebration when there is a little one watching parents tie the knot too. Sophie and Chris married with little Nolah as a flower girl - a beautiful Whinstone View wedding near Great Ayton, North Yorkshire. I love a North Yorkshire/Teesside barn wedding! The sun shone, vows were said, tears were shed, drinks were had, games were played and shapes were thrown. Here are their preview pictures from their perfect Summer Wray's Barn at Whinstone View wedding..
