My Wedding and Portrait Photography Blog.
Jess and Callum | Danby Castle, Danby, North Yorkshire
Danby Castle is one of the most beautiful wedding venues I get to work at. Situated in the famous North York Moors National Park, with the river Esk meandering it's way towards the seaside town of Whitby down below. The sheep bleating in the surrounding fields and occasional steam train passing by. What more do you want in a venue?
Dan & Nicola | Rushpool Hall Hotel, Saltburn
I love capturing clients before their big day. This Rushpool Hall pre-wedding photo shoot was no different. I have worked with Nicola before and knew how crazy she could be.
Now I'm covering her wedding next month. I get the feeling its going to be a wonderful day for both her and Dan.
Sam and Sarah | Crathorne Hall Hotel
I love Crathorne Hall Weddings, especially this time of year. It was a lovely crisp winters morning, the snow was freshly laid. The bitterly icey wind blew around the court yard at Crathorne Hall. But that didn't put Sarah off when she arrived in style and stepped out on to the snow. Sam already looked very dapper awaiting the arrival of his beautiful bride inside Crathorne Hall.
Rob and Bethannie | Crathorne Hall, North Yorkshire
Crathorne Hall Hotel is tucked away near the beautiful town of Yarm. It's a venue I've worked at for some time and know it well. The Bride and the bridesmaids looked out of this world from the moment I arrived and I knew it was going to be a beautiful wedding. And let's not leave out Rob. When I met him down stairs awaiting his beautiful bride he was as stunning as her.
Robert and Laura | Middlesbrough registry office
Middlesbrough Registry office is new venue to me, having only worked there a few times before. But I soon felt at home when Laura arrived and i was in the swing of things.
In 2018 I covered 35 weddings, It's been hard work. With a couple like Robert and Laura it made me realise why I do what I do. They are so deeply in love and this meant they were brilliant to work with from a photography point of view. The venue made for the perfect photos to go along with the winter season. Especial when you're supported by the usual suspects.
James and Rebecca | Grinkle Park Hotel, Easington, North Yorkshire
I couldn't of asked for a more model bride and groom. They certain picked the venues perfectly too, St Mary's Church in Norton for the wedding ceremony then on to Grinkle park Hotel for the reception. St Mary's church been nestled just off the green in Norton provides a beautiful backdrop to any wedding.
Kyle and Claudia | Saltburn Golf Club, North Yorkshire
It's not often I get booked to capture just a wedding reception. However in Kyle and Claudia's case that was just right. They had been married earlier in the week in a very intimate ceremony at the beautiful Gretna Green. Hence their wedding reception was held at the Golf club in Saltburn.
Alex and Michelle | Arches Country House, Brotton
Chris and Linda Birkbeck originally converted the old Stables to guest accommodation to house the Guest back in the 90's. Today its an up and coming wedding venue, fast becoming one of my favourites. Chris, Linda and their managers Jen and Sharon are such accommodating people. Nothing seems too much for them. The Arches Country House Hotel offers a family and intimate feel to any event, especially a wedding.
Stephen and Nicola | Walworth Castle
Its been too long since I worked at Walworth Castle Hotel. But I couldn't have been picked to capture such a beautiful wedding. The weather held off so the ceremony was held outside. That seemed to suit everyone very well.
Gary and Lisa | St Leonards Church, Loftus, North Yorkshire
I don't very often get to work in Loftus. The Market town holds a lot of memories for me as a child, but it's not a place I get to as an adult. Gary and Lisa's wedding was a lovely event to capture. The guests where very fun loving and gave plenty of opportunity to grab some fun shots.
The Many Faces of a Child | Portrait Photography
For those of you who know me I don't like using my own children as examples in my portfolio, studio windows, website or on the walls of the studio. This isn't because they are ugly or not pleasing on the eye, Neither am I one of those parents with consent issues when publishing pictures to the internet.
Anthony & Charlene | Acklam Hall
WOW! first time I've worked at Acklam Hall and suitably impressed. Anna, the lovely young lady that was looking after the wedding. She was beyond words. I really felt part of the team and part of the day. Not to say the meal was lovely too
Peter and Emma |Danby Castle, Danby
It's been a while since I've worked at Danby Castle, although I have known Carolyn since she started the venue back in the day. Danby Castle as a wedding venue has really moved forward over the year. With the opening of the new barn conversion I was really impressed. The new barn gave a very warm, friendly and rustic feel to the reception.
