The Hawkhills near Easingwold is a hidden gem. Just outside York, this former stately home has beautiful interiors and is surrounded by extensive parkland which make it a really is a stunning location for a wedding.

I'm sure Sandburn Hall just outside York must have been built with photographers in mind. The big floor to ceiling window in the main function room not only offers fantastic views over the golf course and lake, but let's in lots of natural light, which makes shooting a wedding there a photographers dream.

The Hospitium in York will more than meet the needs of every wedding photographer. Set in the beautiful Museum Gardens and overlooked by the striking ruins of St Mary's Abbey, The Hospitium is just a stone's throw from York's river where, if the conditions are right, you can capture a stunning sunset.

Lana and Gregg are a great couple who are relaxed and fun-loving, making my job of capturing their wedding day an easy one. It was also made easy by the venue, Aldwark manor, which is set in beautiful grounds near to the historic city of York and makes a gorgeous setting for a summer wedding.

I love shooting barn weddings and The Priory Cottages near Wetherby is one of the best barn wedding venues out there. Set in a lovely courtyard and surrounded by beautiful countryside, The Priory Cottages is one of my favourite venues to shoot a wedding at.

Ellie & Jeff were keen to show-off their chosen wedding day venue, The Hawkhills, and asked me to meet them at the venue for their pre-wedding shoot a few months before the big day when the apple orchard would be in blossom

I met up with Vicky and Michael on a beautiful evening in early May when it felt like summer was upon us. Their chosen location was The Priory Cottages near Wetherby, a venue that despite just being around the corner from where I live, I have not photographed at before. In fact the only time I have been before was when I was looking at wedding venues for my own wedding, and probably would have chosen had we not decided to get married down south.

The weather may not have been on our side on this blustery and wet November day, but this didn't stop Hollie and Ash, along with all their guests, from having a truly magical day at the wonderful Ox Pasture Hall, near Scarborough.
