ASHLEY + RICHARD - THE ENGINE SHED, WETHERBY // TESTIMONIAL

“Having seen Sally’s portfolio I knew we would love her photos but I’m still blown away by just how much we love ours. The colour, the style, what she has managed to capture - all of it is perfect. She managed to get both of us (who don’t really like having our picture taken) to look so happy and comfortable…..

2010 - 2020 // MY PORTFOLIO THROUGH THE YEARS

With the start of a new decade I thought it could be fun to dig back through old archives and do a ten year post! Strictly speaking, I shot my first wedding in 2011 not 2010, but I registered my business at the end of 2010 so I guess it sort of counts?

Chantelle + Andrew | Tithe Barn Wedding, Bolton Abbey, Skipton

Oh my goodness.. Chantelle and Andrew’s wedding was just beautiful It was my first time shooting a wedding at Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire and it lived up to all my expectations.

Michaela + Ashley | Hazlewood Castle, North Yorkshire

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.

Annie + Steven - Woodlands Hotel Wedding, Leeds, West Yorkshire | STOP MOTION WEDDING FILMS UK

Oh, Annie and Steven’s wedding was an Autumnal dream. It was wonderful to do a wedding at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds and it was the perfect setting for their November wedding. We made the most of those beautiful colours while the light lasted before these two rejoined their guests in the beautiful marquee and celebrated into the night. Having little ones there makes a day all the more special and made for some pretty wonderful photo opportunities!

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.

Holly & Jamie | Yorkshire Sculpture Park Engagement Shoot

Oh finally! Spring has arrived! And thank goodness, it's about time! I met up with Holly and Jamie for a pre-wedding shoot at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in West Yorkshire ahead of their York wedding in June. The sun came out, it was warm, and we had a lovely hour or so exploring all of the amazing areas of the park, looking for exciting spots for some photos.

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..

A colourful, joyous and Jurassic day - here are Benanna and their fabulous outdoor wedding at Applewood Weddings in Leeds!
