Caitlin + Josh | Relaxed Wedding at Home in Middlesbrough

Well, this wedding was a day to remember.. Caitlin and Josh have booked me for their Yorkshire Wedding Barn wedding next May, but due to family circumstances they decided to do the legal bit and have an intimate celebration this year too. Their wedding was full of joy, community, family.. and it really goes to show what weddings are really about - people and love. It was also so, so heartwarming and incredible to see so many of those close to them pulling this day together in around a week.

Best Teesside + North Yorkshire Wedding Venues | Creative Wedding Photography Teesside + Stop Motion Wedding Films UK

For a different kind of blog post today, I thought I would share some of my favourite venues that I’ve worked at, starting with our own glorious Teesside and North Yorkshire. What I love most when working is how every day is different, and I love capturing a variety of venues over the months too - from barns to grand houses and halls, outdoor weddings to village halls.. I love mixing it up and I’ve been lucky enough to shoot at some beautiful places in this little corner of the UK.

Kelly + Mark | Middlesbrough Town Hall Wedding

What a gorgeous intimate celebration this was.. Kelly and Mark said their vows in Middlesbrough's beautiful Town Hall in front of family, friends and lots of little ones! The entire day was really informal, and they wandered through the streets afterwards to relax and spend time with their guests. They were accompanied by their gorgeous two girls, and the day was really about family and what these two have together. Here are a few favourites from their day..

Emma & Shaun - York Maze Yorkshire Wedding | THE MAGIC SEVEN

Today's 'Magic Seven' is Emma and Shaun! These two got married one hot May day at the beautiful and rustic York Maze - a quirky barn venue in North Yorkshire - and had their ceremony in a different barn next door (above); such a beautiful space to tie the knot. They chose York Maze because it's such a relaxed and chilled out venue and they could really personalise and put their own stamp on it.

"Sally is a Queen/Wizard/Angel IDST! Sally you are amazing, and you made an amazing day even better for being there. Not just for the beautiful amazing photos but you fit in so well to our intimate wedding. It was like we'd all known you for donkeys years. We adore all of the detail shots, the candid photos.. I didn't even know you were taking most of them. The ones outside of me and Andy are insane, Andy says you made us look like film stars :')! You've got not only a very happy pair of newly weds, but also elated families on either side who are made up with your gorgeous photos. Thank you so so so so so much." - Alex & Andy
