I never expected to shoot a first dance in a church car park with a travelling brass band but I guess 2020 is throwing all sort of weird stuff at us and nothing surprises me much these days.. Sophie and Matt married in Nunthorpe with probably the most beautiful views in Teesside. Their Blackthorn Gate wedding is postponed until next year but it didn’t stop them having a perfectly small wedding with their nearest and dearest followed by a distanced dance-off.
Read MoreOh my goodness.. actually coming out of what felt like hibernation and shooting an actual wedding felt like such a dream. Jennifer and Paul married in Yarm with only immediate family before heading down the beautiful cobbled streets to nearby Italian deli Borellis for a toast outside in the sunshine. It was intimate, relaxed, full of love and laughter, and just the most special small wedding day.
Read MoreAnother ‘Magic Seven’ post for you this fine Sunday! For these posts I select seven favourite images that I feel tell the story of a wedding or are snippets of the day that I just loved.. and this time it’s Kate and Joe’s fabulous and colourful Ormesby Hall wedding in Teesside.
Read MoreJust look at these colours! Do I need to say much more? Alex and Andrew married at the Fig House on the MIddleton Lodge estate one beautiful September day and it was absolutely stunning. After sharing a few preview photos on my social media I had dozens of messages about Alex’s incredible ‘3D’ wedding dress - how beautiful and how absolutely perfect for the time of year and setting is it?! Their styling at the Fig House was simple and cool, lots of personal touches and fab ideas which suited the room so well.
Here are a few favourites from their day..
Read More“SALLY!! 😭 We cannot cope with our wedding box! Thank you so much for our pictures - they are more than we could ever have wished for! Your work is phenomenal and I can’t believe those wedding photos are ours!”
Read MoreCome say hello at one of the wedding fairs I’m showing at this Autumn - I’ll have some chocolates our on ym stall, I promise!
Read MoreWhat a day Saturday was! It’s been a while since I shot a wedding at Rudby Hall and it was so lovely to be back at this beautiful North Yorkshire venue (it’s also about 20 minutes from home which was a nice change after being all over the place for weddings this year!)
Bethan and Daryll had a beautiful flower-filled day and the sun shone from start to finish.. guests hung out on the grass playing garden games and were serenaded by a steel band - the perfect Summer wedding set up.
Read MoreLaura and Paul planned a really relaxed and personal DIY wedding at Ingleby Greenhow Village Hall in North Yorkshire. The attention to detail and their wedding styling was just fab - loads of touches to reflect them and the things they loved.. and the whole day was about friends and family, hanging out in the sunshine and celebrating once the sun had gone down.. A perfect village hall Summer wedding.
Read MoreWhat a couple, what a setting and what a wedding! It was my first time shooting at Wylam Brewery for Ellie and James’ wedding, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more. I love how they mixed the industrial setting with incredible wildflowers and other details to reflect their personalities (Ellie’s Mum did the flowers and James’ Mum made the cake!) and the whole thing was a beautiful, chilled out celebration in the August sunshine.
Read MoreWhen 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..
Read Moret was so lovely to see Gemma again and be part of hers and Michael’s beautiful wedding day at Hardwick Hall. The sun really shone and it was such a fabulous relaxed Summer wedding.. These two were so much fun together and it was a pleasure to be there to capture everything from Gemma laughing with her bridesmaids on the morning, the flower girls dancing in the sunshine, guests relaxing in the evening sunshine and killer dance moves when the sun went down..
Read MoreJust look at these two! I absolutely adored Mark and Lucy’s wedding style.. they had a tipi wedding in the grounds of the Hammer and Pincers pub in County Durham with gin bottles, mix tapes, custom wedding art and illustrations.. it was so personal and so perfect.
Also Lucy’s wedding outfit - I’ve never seen anything like it (amazing work from BexBrides)! A custom made, feather embellished kimono style dress with tassels and sewn in touches from her Mum’s own wedding veil.. I could have photographed her in it all day.
Read MoreIt was so fab to be back at Middleton Lodge for Lizzie and Simon’s beautiful wedding. I love a day that is elegant and ends in a good party - such a good combination for a wedding! I’ve heard that it all ended in style down in the cellar bar at Middleton Lodge too.. It was an absolute pleasure to spend such a relaxed day with these two and their full-of-fun wedding guests - thanks again for having me as part of your celebrations! Here are a few previews for now… Congratulations again you two!
Read MoreI think the setting for Laura and Arran’s wedding speaks for itself, really, but here goes!
Laura and Arran married on Loch Tay, up in Scotland. It was an absolutely incredible setting with atmospheric views of the loch and the surrounding hills, and a little rain didn’t stop their celebrations one tiny bit.
What. A. Wedding. Immy and Matt’s wedding was injected with so much fun and so much colour.. I knew theirs would be an amazing day to shoot and it would be an amazing crowd because I shot Immy’s sister Sorrel’s wedding last September which was also brimming with laughter, party people and incredible dance moves.
Read MoreI really loved being part of Amy and Steven’s intimate wedding at Preston Park Museum and Grounds - they had only immediate family there to celebrate with them and they later announced to the rest of the world that they’d married on the way to their honeymoon that evening! I really love being part of days where couples have done everything completely their own way and created a day that’s perfect for them, and that’s exactly what Amy and Steven’s day was.
Read MoreWell, 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.
Read MoreAnother stop motion wedding film from the archives today.. and it’s a beautiful Summery barn wedding in beautiful North Yorkshire.
Read More2019 wedding season has officially begun! After a few months off from shooting it felt so good to get back into the swing of weddings, and the season started with a bang with the beautiful and relaxed celebration of Caroline and Steven for their Cleveland Tontine wedding.
