Ellie & Tom picked the beautiful location of Hazlewood Castle near York, for their big day.  It’s definitely a favourite of mine.  Hazlewood Castle is set on the edge of thick woodland, on a hill and has fantastic views to the horizon.  It’s also absolutely gorgeous inside.

We started off at Hazlewood in the morning, with Ellie getting ready.  Meanwhile, Tom was already in York, getting suited and booted with his guard of honour - there were swords!!

Nicole and Chris were the perfect couple for a winter wedding.  If I had to sum them up in a phrase, it'd be 'happy-go-lucky'.    It didn't matter what the sky was doing.  It didn't matter that the sheep all had a 1" deep coating of snow, or that the wind was blowing. They took it all in their stride and had a fantastic day.

Sometimes it feels like we're really spoiled for wedding venues in Yorkshire. There are so many really good venues that I love to photograph. There is a few, however, that really stand out. One of the ones that really stands out for me is The Normans. Situated about halfway between Leeds and York, just near Tadcaster, it's also in a perfect location for me. It takes about 10 minutes to get there.

Being based in Yorkshire spoils me a bit.   We have some of the best wedding venues and scenery in the country.  Perhaps one of the grandest of those venues is the amazing Allerton Castle. It’s a nineteenth century, Victorian Gothic house, set in beautiful grounds near Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.
