Congratulations on your upcoming York wedding! I would love to photograph your big day. I’m an award-winning York wedding photographer covering the city and surrounding countryside.
I love photographing York weddings. I’m very familiar with the area and have covered many fabulous York wedding venues and those in the surrounding Yorkshire countryside. This is a fantastic region for getting married as you can find almost every type of wedding venue you might be looking for, from luxury hotels to historic manor houses and castles. There are also rustic York wedding barns and impressive stately homes, something here for every couple.

No two weddings unfold in quite the same way. Each person, each couple, and every occasion carries its own unique personality and my goal is always to capture the genuine character of your day through my lens. Employing a delicate balance of documentary-style photography and creative portraiture utilising beautiful light and scenery, I aim to create a collection of images that authentically tell your wedding day story.
I steer clear of any formal posing and forced smiles – “cheese” is not in my vocabulary! My priority is ensuring that every couple feels at ease in front of the camera, allowing me to capture genuine, natural moments that truly reflect who they are.

York is a fantastic place to get married because of its rich history, stunning architecture, and charming atmosphere. With its medieval streets, grand venues like Allerton Castle and The Grand, and the iconic York Minster as a backdrop, the city offers a romantic setting for any wedding. Whether couples prefer a historic venue, a cozy boutique hotel, or a riverside celebration, York has something for every style. The cobbled Shambles and lush Museum Gardens provide beautiful photo opportunities, while the city’s excellent restaurants and hotels ensure a memorable experience for guests. Plus, its central location and great transport links make it convenient for everyone attending. With its rich history and stunning landscapes, York is a place close to my heart, and I would be honoured to capture the magic of your wedding in this beautiful city.
York is a city steeped in history, from the ancient Roman walls to the awe-inspiring York Minster, one of Northern Europe’s largest cathedrals. York was founded by the Romans in 71 AD and in the 9th century, it fell to the Vikings, who named it Jórvík and developed it into a thriving trade hub. During the Middle Ages, York flourished as a center of wool trading and religious significance, boasting the grand York Minster. The city played key roles in the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War, witnessing political and military upheaval. Today, York is known for its well-preserved medieval streets, historic walls, and vibrant cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world. Its cobbled streets, especially the famed Shambles, provide a romantic backdrop for your wedding photos. I’ve always been captivated by the city’s timeless charm, which makes every wedding here unique.
York offers a stunning variety of wedding venues, from grand historic settings to charming countryside escapes. Allerton Castle stands out as a stunning gothic venue, perfect for couples seeking a fairytale backdrop with its dramatic architecture and regal interiors. In the heart of the city, elegant hotels like The Milner and The Grand provide a mix of luxury and convenience, ideal for those who want a sophisticated celebration within York’s historic streets. Beyond the city, the surrounding countryside is filled with diverse venue options, including rustic barns, stately homes, and scenic estates, offering everything from relaxed, rural charm to refined country elegance. Whether you envision a lavish York castle wedding, a chic city celebration, or a romantic barn gathering, York and its surroundings have something for every couple.
