I've been a wedding photographer for over 10 years now (and yet I haven't aged a day, weird). So I've become a bit of an expert when it comes to wedding venues across Yorkshire and beyond. And I've built up a pretty massive stock of images to share!
Keeping scrolling to see some of my favourites*. I've tried to pick a selection that covers all of the things I love to photograph on a wedding day; confetti faces, aisle walks, anxious grooms, proud dads, dance floor moves, fun group shots with your girl/guy gangs, mid-speech cringes and of course some gorgeous couple shots! And if you like what you see then scroll s'more to dig a little deeper...
* There are quite a few so you might want to grab a glass of something before you get started. My current preference is Slingsy Gooseberry Gin, but I don’t insist on it...
LET's dig a little deeper, there's so much more to see...
Below are links to even more wedding galleries. Here you can search by venue, break it down into different parts of the wedding day, take a look at some example online wedding albums, or see what an engagement shoot is all about.
YORKSHIRE WEDDING VENUES
My newest page – Find Your Venue. As a wedding photographer all across Yorkshire, from Leeds to York, Skipton to Harrogate, Huddersfield to Richmond and further, I’ve been lucky to work at so many of Yorkshire’s finest wedding venues (and we have some good’uns!).
Just click on your venue to be taken to a selection of blog posts featuring weddings I’ve shot there.
I still have more venues to add so if yours isn’t there do get in touch and ask as I might not have managed to add it yet!
FEATURED WEDDINGS
Go to Featured Weddings to see examples of wedding stories starting from the bridal (and sometimes groom!) preparations, through to the ceremony, confetti, drinks reception, group photos, bride & groom photos, speeches, cake cutting, and of course the party. With lots of lovely candid photos of happy people throughout the day:
pick your favourite part of the day...
You can also chose which part of the day you want to look at by, unsurprisingly, choosing “Pick Your Favourite Part of The Day“
ENGAGEMENTS
Click on Engagement Shoots below for some of my favourite engagement photos from the past few years. We have loads of amazing locations for engagement shoots here in Yorkshire; stately homes, public gardens, woodlands, moors, city centres and loads more.

Once you’ve had your fill of photos you can check out my wedding photography prices to see if I suit your budget, have a read through my Frequently Asked Questions, find out a bit more about me, and then hopefully fill in my contact form to find out if I’m free on your wedding date and request a brochure

SOPHIE & JOE // Rain? What rain? 🌧️
Sophie & Joe spent Saturday proving that a little Yorkshire weather can’t dampen big love (or a good party!) 🙌 Thirsk Lodge Barns was the perfect cosy backdrop – the barns felt so warm and inviting all day.
Sophie & Joe chose to do a quick first look before the ceremony – such a gorgeous moment and the best way to shake off those pre-wedding nerves 🥹✨
And the flowers… wow. Every corner was overflowing with stunning blooms by @mollieandmauve – they looked (and smelled!) incredible. Sophie and I share a bit of a flower obsession, so I was in heaven photographing all the little details 🌸💐
The cake by the legendary Dominique @poppypickeringcakes was another highlight – almost too pretty to eat… almost. 🍰
The whole day was laid-back, fun, and filled with laughter – exactly what a wedding should be. Huge shoutout to L & J Wedding Photography on video duty too – such a lovely team to work alongside! 🎥💫
