Katie + Dan | Marquee Wedding in Ingleby Greenhow, North Yorkshire
Katie + Dan | Marquee Wedding in Ingleby Greenhow, North Yorkshire

Oh Katie and Dan! My heart is so full.

Katie and I met aged four in Primary school on our first day there. Somewhere further down the line she introduced me to Dan - a kind, intelligent and funny man that she’d already started building up a catalogue of raucous and hilarious stories together with.. They met within journalism circles through work and haven’t looked back. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two.

Katie and Dan, it was one of the most special days of my life being bridesmaid (can you spot me?) and documenting your incredible day.

Joanna + Scott | Headlam Hall Wedding, County Durham

Joanna and Scott married at Headlam Hall in County Durham. It was my first time shooting there and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a stunning setting; the building and gardens made a fabulous backdrop for photos. These two were accompanied by their beautiful children Josh and Mia as they said ‘I do’ - I love when it becomes such a family occasion and there are more than just the two of you involved in starting this next chapter..

Charlotte + André | The Pheasant Hotel Helmsley Wedding, North Yorkshire

Oh Charlotte and André! What a special day it was celebrating your wedding with you.. These two said their vows then headed up into the hill of beautiful North Yorkshire to hold their wedding reception at The Pheasant in Harome, a small village near Helmsley. There was sunshine and showers, incredible floral styling by The Wilde, ridiculously good colours.. I guess this is what happens when a wedding photographer (Charlotte!) plans the most beautiful and photogenic wedding.. (no pressure for me then, none at all…!)

Bethan + Daryll | Rudby Hall Wedding, North Yorkshire

What 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.

Elinor + James | Wylam Brewery, Newcastle Wedding

What 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.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful garden than where Charlie and Ollie married.. these two said ‘I do’ at Malmesbury Abbey Gardens in Wiltshire on a warm Summers day before having fizz on the lawn and later heading to the town hall for their evening celebrations. It was a wonderful and relaxed day and such a joy to photograph - it was such a wonderful setting with a wonderful couple.

Just 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.

When Michaela told me about her and Ashley’s ideas for a festival wedding I genuinely didn’t expect the set up to be as amazing as this! Their woodland wedding was held at Hazlewood Castle between York and Leeds, and their wedding was the second ever wedding to be held outdoors in the clearing there - it was the perfect setting for an outdoor festival wedding.

Jo + Travis' Testimonial - Eshott Hall Wedding, Northumberland, North East | Creative Wedding Photography + Stop Motion Wedding Films

“Sally was wonderful from the start, put my camera shy husband at ease, and was a joy to have there on the day. The photographs didn’t take up a whole chunk of the day, and apart from the official photographs, She was in the background snapping away. The photographs were beautiful, and the presentation of the box was just lovely. My make up artist said they are the best set of photos she has ever seen. I can’t stop looking at them, and don’t know how I will ever decide which ones to display!”

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.

Their stop motion wedding film can tell the story better than I can.. so here goes!

Jenna + Tom - Camp Katur Outdoor Tipi Wedding | THE MAGIC SEVEN

An absolutely beautiful outdoor wedding celebration for today’s ‘Magic Seven’ - I absolutely loved being part of Jenna and Tom’s Camp Katur tipi wedding in North Yorkshire.
