Another stop motion wedding film from the archives today.. and it’s a beautiful Summery barn wedding in beautiful North Yorkshire.

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.

If you’re not familiar with my ‘Magic Seven’ series, I dig back into the archives and uncover some of my favourite weddings from the past few years, and I select seven favourite images from each one and give it another ‘hurrah’ all these years later. I choose images that tell the story of the day or sum up the couple..

WHAT a wedding to finish the year with! Grace and Michael’s Rudby Hall wedding was absolutely wonderful and I cam away feeling so Christmassy - their was a really elegant Wintery celebration.

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.

Rosie and Tom had one of the most laid back and wonderfully unstructured days at the beautiful Tithe Barn in Nether Poppleton near York. They said their vows at the registry office in  York city centre before travelling in Land Rovers over to celebrate in style at this beautiful venue. They had covered it with flowers and candles, and guests mingled in the gardens, drinking cocktails and eating amazing BBQ food and had a wonderfully laid back Summer celebration. Here are a few previews from their beautiful day..

Well Saturday was EPIC. It was just the most laughter and love-filled day. Laura and Patrick know how to wedding and it was just perfect. Space hoppers, happy tears, limericks, amazing evening light, a glitter bar, wild ceilidh dancing.. and they topped it off by performing their own first dance song. I think the photos say more than I can.. step this way to see this amazing Aldby Park marquee wedding..

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.
