ASHLEY + RICHARD - THE ENGINE SHED, WETHERBY // YORK + LEEDS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Ashley and Richard - what a fab start to 2020!

These two were a pleasure to hang out with all day for their relaxed Engine Shed wedding in Wetherby - it was all right up my street! I hadn’t shot at the Engine Shed before - it’s a fab old industrial venue in Wetherby and I loved the look of the place. Ashley and Richard told me it just felt very ‘them’ more than some of the ‘grander’ wedding venues out there, and they’d had styled it up beautiful (I especially loved the neon!) and we managed to grab a few shots in the February sunshine as well before heading in for food and speeches.

Anyway! Here are some favourite shots from the day while I work through the rest - ‘til death do us party!

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.

Sarah + Tom - York Maze DIY Barn Wedding, North Yorkshire | THE MAGIC SEVEN

If you’re not familiar with my ‘Magic Seven’ series, I dig back into the archives and uncover some of my favourite weddings from the past few years, and I select seven favourite images from each one and give it another ‘hurrah’ all these years later. I choose images that tell the story of the day or sum up the couple..

Phillippa + Tobias | York House Wedding, Malton, North Yorkshire

September is one of my favourite months for weddings.. it’s the end of Summer but still slightly to warm to declare it ‘Autumn’. Phillippa and Toby lucked out and had beautiful sunshine and light for their York House in Malton wedding. Phillippa’s parents married at the adjacent Talbot House and it was magical that she and Toby celebrated their nuptials there too.

Rosie + Tom | Nether Poppleton Tithebarn York Wedding

Rosie and Tom had one of the most laid back and wonderfully unstructured days at the beautiful Tithe Barn in Nether Poppleton near York. They said their vows at the registry office in York city centre before travelling in Land Rovers over to celebrate in style at this beautiful venue. They had covered it with flowers and candles, and guests mingled in the gardens, drinking cocktails and eating amazing BBQ food and had a wonderfully laid back Summer celebration. Here are a few previews from their beautiful day..

Well Saturday was EPIC. It was just the most laughter and love-filled day. Laura and Patrick know how to wedding and it was just perfect.

Holly + Jamie | Merchant Adventurers Hall, York City Centre Wedding

Holly and Jamie's York city centre wedding was just wonderful. They said their vows in St Deny's Church before walking up Fossgate to the Merchant Adventurer's Hall for their reception.

The forecast was for solid rain - ALL day.. but when they came out of the church the sun was shining and not a drop of rain fell until it was time for everyone to sit down for the meal - perfect timing and we all couldn't believe their luck!

Phillippa & Toby | Engagement Shoot in York, North Yorkshire

To be completely honest, it's been a little while since I shot an engagement shoot. I love doing them, but recently I've been much more used to wedding days and family sessions.. so when Phillippa and Toby greeted me with "We're a bit nervous!" I replied with "Me too!"

2017 | In-Between Is Where The Magic Happens

2017 was another busy, exciting and special year for so many reasons.. My work has taken me all over the UK and abroad, I've met and worked with truly wonderful couples, laughed and cried through speeches and unscripted moments, tried to push myself creatively more than ever, charged and packed my kit, shot, then charged and packed again (ad infinitum), and really tried to push and bring myself and my own approach to my work more than ever before..

Laura & Richard | Bedern Hall, York Wedding
