Yorkshire WEDDINGS
Yorkshire is a big place to get married in. Medieval barns in the Dales, country estates with their own deer parks, a market town at the foot of the hills and a coastline that runs from Whitby down past Scarborough. As a Yorkshire wedding photographer, I've photographed couples at places like the Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey, the Coniston Hotel and Swinton Estate, and each one had its own kind of beautiful.
EDITORIAL & FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
why get married in Yorkshire?

Because it's really several places in one. The Yorkshire Dales give you limestone, dry stone walls and wide open valleys. North Yorkshire adds York's old streets, the North York Moors and the seaside. And in between there are market towns like Skipton, where you can do the legal bit in the morning and be out in the hills by lunchtime.
Yorkshire also does proper hospitality. Country houses, old inns and barns that have stood for centuries, plenty of them with rooms so your guests can stay over and make a weekend of it.

From 20 guests in a country inn to 200 in a country house, there's room for every kind of wedding here.
my approach to Yorkshire wedding photography
I'm a documentary wedding photographer at heart. I spend most of your day watching rather than directing, and photograph things as they happen: the nerves, the cuddles, the chaos on the dance floor. When you do want a hand (family groups, a few portraits), I'll give you simple prompts and get you back to your guests quickly.
Yorkshire light makes my job easy. Big skies, low autumn sun over the hills and long summer evenings mean we often only need ten minutes outside to get something you'll want on your wall.
If you're looking for a documentary wedding photographer in Yorkshire, you'll find more on my documentary wedding photography and candid wedding photography pages. Fancy some grain and nostalgia? Have a look at 35mm film wedding photography. The full breakdown of a day with me is on my full day wedding photography page.
where I photograph across yorkshire
I cover the whole county. Here's how it breaks down.
the Yorkshire Dales
Limestone, field barns and rivers you could paddle in (please don't, in the dress). If you want big landscapes in your photos, start here. My Yorkshire Dales wedding photographer page covers the Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey, outdoor portraits and adventure sessions.
Skipton
The market town on the edge of the Dales, with a castle, a canal and a register office you can leave by boat. Venues, the register office and my favourite spots in town are on my wedding photographer in Skipton page.
North Yorkshire
York, the Moors and the coast, plus country estates like Swinton and Hackness Grange. It's all on my North Yorkshire wedding photographer page.
I'm happy to travel to West, South and East Yorkshire too, and just over the Pennines I also photograph weddings in Cheshire, Lancashire and the Lake District.
Yorkshire wedding venues I've photographed
Yorkshire has some of the best wedding venues in the north, from medieval barns to lakeside estates. Here are the ones I know well:

small weddings and register office weddings in Yorkshire
A small Yorkshire wedding can be something really special. A handful of guests in a country inn, a long lunch, then out into the hills for photos. My micro wedding coverage is made for up to 30 guests, with 2 to 4 hours for your ceremony, portraits and time with your favourite people. For smaller wedding venues in Yorkshire, the Tempest Arms is a good example: its ceremony suite seats up to 60 guests.
Most of the county's register offices are run by North Yorkshire Council, with offices in places like Skipton, Harrogate, Scarborough and Whitby. York has its own register office, run by City of York Council. Fun fact: at Skipton you can arrive or leave by canal boat. More on that on my Skipton page.
After a register office ceremony, lots of couples head out for an adventure session in the Dales, either straight away or on another day. Bring a flask of something fizzy
planning your Cheshire wedding
A few things worth knowing before you book anything:
01. Mind the distances
Yorkshire is huge, and getting from Skipton to the coast is a proper drive. Keep your ceremony, venue and guest accommodation close together.
02. Pack for four seasons
The weather on the tops can turn in minutes. Layers, clear umbrellas and a pair of wellies in the car will save the day.
03. Check which council your registrar comes from
It's North Yorkshire Council for most of the county and City of York Council for York. Book them early, and remember you each give notice at least 29 days before the wedding, at the register office where you live.
04. Make a weekend of it
Lots of Yorkshire venues have rooms on site, so your guests can stay over and you can all have a slow breakfast the morning after.
05. Plan pORTraits around the light

FAQ
Do you charge for travel to Yorkshire?
Not for full day weddings: travel anywhere in the UK is included. For hourly coverage and micro weddings, travel is charged separately and you'll know the cost before you book.
What if we've booked a venue you haven't shot at?
No problem at all. I always arrive early to get to know the place, and we'll have a pre-wedding meeting before the day to go through your timeline and every little detail.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. I've got public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and I'm happy to send proof to your venue if they ask.
Can we get married outside in Yorkshire?
Yes, within the grounds of a venue approved for weddings. Sandburn Hall holds ceremonies in its White Rose Garden, and Elena and Marcus said their vows by the lake at the Coniston Hotel. My guide on how to legally get married in the UK explains the rules.
Can we have our engagement shoot in Yorkshire?
Yes! Every full day package includes a complimentary engagement shoot. The Dales, the canal in Skipton or a breezy walk on the coast all make great backdrops, and it's a good way to get comfy in front of the camera.
When will we get our photos?
A sneak peek lands within 5 days. Your full gallery follows within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the time of year.
