It gives me great pleasure to finally share Hannah and Dan’s stop motion film from their fabulous wedding at The Talbot/York House in North Yorkshire last October. What a wedding..

“Dan and I sat down last night and watched through the video and pictures - wow! Just WOW! We were absolutely blown away by them! You’ve totally captured every moment of the day. You were absolutely amazing on the day and really put us both at ease! Thank you so, so much!”

Ashley and Richard - what a fab start to 2020!

These two were a pleasure to hang out with all day for their relaxed Engine Shed wedding in Wetherby - it was all right up my street! I hadn’t shot at the Engine Shed before - it’s a fab old industrial venue in Wetherby and I loved the look of the place. Ashley and Richard told me it just felt very ‘them’ more than some of the ‘grander’ wedding venues out there, and they’d had styled it up beautiful (I especially loved the neon!) and we managed to grab a few shots in the February sunshine as well before heading in for food and speeches.

Anyway! Here are some favourite shots from the day while I work through the rest - ‘til death do us party!

Their wedding was originally featured in OK! Magazine which felt all kinds of exciting, and went on to be featured more fully on the Rock My Wedding Blog.

2019 - A LITTLE SLICE OF MAGIC // STOP MOTION SHOWREEL

One of my favourite parts of work is creating stop motion films.. they take an absolute age to put together, they involve processing thousands of photos, hours agonising over music choices, fiddling and adjusting and tweaking over and over again.. but when they finally come together it feels like magic - the photographs become alive; it’s a completely different way of reliving the day.

KATIE + DAN - NORTH YORKSHIRE MARQUEE WEDDING // TESTIMONIAL

“Having Sally as our photographer was one the best decisions we made for our wedding.

On the day she was brilliant, moving subtly between guests to capture shots and handling delicate family situations with the utmost professionalism and tact. 

The photos themselves were out of this world magical.”

JADE + SAM // LOW HALL, COCKERMOUTH, THE LAKE DISTRICT

Jade and Sam - WHAT a way to end the year!

A few days after Christmas I headed over to the beautiful Lake District to shoot at Low Hall near Cockermouth for the first time. My sister has booked this as her wedding venue for next July so I was even more excited to see this beautiful barn wedding venue for the first time and also just to be back in the Lakes - it always makes such a beautiful setting for a wedding.

Hannah + Dan | The Talbot, Maltby, North Yorkshire

Hannah and Dan! What a laugher and fun-filled day.. my face actually hurt from smiling and laughing after your wedding!

Hannah and Dan married in Malton, saying ‘I do’ at the town centre church before walking down to the Talbot to celebrate afterwards. They held their reception in the house and then a marquee in the gardens which was styled beautiful with a mix of greenery, elegant touches and nods to Dan’s love of cricket. They danced the night away to a ceilidh (always the best idea IMO) - it was SO much fun and the perfect wedding to end my wedding season on.

It was so fab to be back at Middleton Lodge for Lizzie and Simon’s beautiful wedding and to create this stop motion wedding film for them. I love a day that is elegant and ends in a good party - such a good combination for a wedding! I’ve heard that it all ended in style down in the cellar bar at Middleton Lodge too.. It was an absolute pleasure to spend such a relaxed day with these two and their full-of-fun wedding guests - thanks again for having me as part of your celebrations!

Alexandra + Andrew | The Fig House Wedding, North Yorkshire

Just 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..

Rachel + Thomas | Doddington Hall Wedding, Lincolnshire

I mean.. that light just speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Rachel and Tom had a beautiful September wedding at Doddington Hall in Lincolnshire. The venue was spectacular - totally stunning - and we were lucky enough to have access to the gardens and that sun set for some photos. The main reception was in the Couch House at Doddington Hall, guests played garden games and relaxed before dancing the night away to their rock wedding band Anthemic. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

Here are a few previews from Rachel and Tom’s sunny September wedding day..
