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.

Alex + Dave's Testimonial - Whinstone View Wedding, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire | Wedding Photography + Stop Motion Wedding Films

“Sally has done a few of our friends weddings so as soon as our date was booked, she was my first email! On the day, she was fantastic! She fit in so well on the morning with my parents and bridesmaids and put everyone at ease.

I never felt like I was being photographed and that’s exactly what we wanted - I properly cried when we got our preview photos - they couldn’t be more perfect!”

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.

Laura + Patrick's Testimonial - Aldby Park Marquee Wedding, York, North Yorkshire | Creative Wedding Photography Teesside + Stop Motion Wedding Films UK

“Sally is just INCREDIBLE! Having seen her work on 3 of our friends weddings as soon as we got engaged she was the first thing we booked! I wouldn’t have had anyone else to do my wedding photography! She is such a lovely person and makes you feel so relaxed and at ease when taking photos. It’s like having one of your best friends as your photographer. Her photos are simply beautiful and totally capture the spirit of the day. I would book her again and would recommend her to everyone I know!”

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.

Never have I ever come away from a wedding craving a glass of fizz quite so much.. Alex and Dave had a champagne-inspired Wray’s Barn wedding at the beautiful Whinstone View near Great Ayton in North Yorkshire.

Alex and Dave celebrated in style and their wedding was wonderful to be part of. Here is their stop motion wedding film..
