You have done such a great job (we knew you would) and captured the day perfectly. The attention to detail and thought that went into the photos is amazing. Also, being a couple that don't much like having their photo taken, we barely noticed you there on the day and you were great at putting us at ease and keeping it informal with the couple shots which have also surpassed our expectations!
Read MoreIt was so good to be back at the beautiful Fig House on the Middleton Lodge estate in North Yorkshire for Ashleigh and Richard’s wedding.

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 MoreOh 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…!)
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 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 MoreStep this way for the most amazing Easter wedding inspiration! Amy and Phil held their sunny Spring wedding at Laskill House in North Yorkshire - a stunning venue set amongst the beautiful North Yorkshire hills.

Read MoreAnother "‘Magic Seven’ today - a series in which I choose my favourite seven photographs from a wedding from deep in the archives to share and relive all over again..

Read MoreFor 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.
Read MoreWHAT a wedding to finish the year with! Grace and Michael’s Rudby Hall wedding was absolutely wonderful and I came away feeling so Christmassy - theirs was a really elegant Wintery celebration.
Read More…and just like that, it’s the end of 2018! Did it fly by for you all too?! I have my photography ‘2018 round up’ post coming very soon, but I thought I’d post my wedding stop motion film showreel from the past twelve months tonight to mark the end of the year.
Read MoreIt was a blustery but beautiful day for Grace and Michael’s engagement shoot - and what an incredible setting. These two live in the village at the bottom of the hill, and it was worth us all hiking up to reach the beautiful summit of Captain Cook’s Monument.
Whoever said it was grim up North has clearly never been..
Read MoreSeptember is one of my favourite months for weddings.. it’s the end of Summer but still slightly to warm to declare it ‘Autumn’.

Phillippa’s parents married at the adjacent Talbot House and it was magical that she and Toby celebrated their nuptials there too.
Read MoreNever 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. I've loved shooting weddings at Whinstone View so much in the past because every couple can really put their stamp on this beautiful Wray’s Barn venue and it has a totally different feel every time.. Alex and Dave celebrated in style and their wedding was wonderful to be part of. Here is their stop motion wedding film..
Read MoreMark and Elizabeth said 'I do' at the local church in Hutton Rudby, before travelling a few villages away to celebrate in Rountons village hall.

Here is their stop motion film..
