I've photographed weddings at quite a few venues along the North Yorkshire coast over the years, but there's something a little different about arriving at Grand Villa Heights in Ravenscar. The views across Robin Hood's Bay are fantastic, although being perched high above the coastline also means you're rather exposed to whatever weather is coming in off the North Sea, something we were certainly reminded of during Joe and Leah's wedding!

I've photographed weddings at Gisborough Hall Hotel in Guisborough for many years now, and it's one of those venues where I always enjoy going back. Being local certainly helps because I know the area well, but it's also a venue that gives me plenty of opportunities to photograph a wedding without having to spend half the day taking the couple away from their family and friends.

I've photographed weddings all over North Yorkshire and the North East over the years, but there's always something nice about working close to home, especially when you've got places like St Leonard's Church in Loftus and the coastline around Skinningrove practically on your doorstep.

I've photographed weddings at Grinkle Park Hotel for many years now, and although I've worked at wedding venues all over North Yorkshire, the North East and further afield, Grinkle is somewhere I've always enjoyed returning to. It's a beautiful country house hotel, the grounds are lovely and there's plenty of choice when it comes to wedding photographs, but there's another reason I rate the place so highly, and that's the people who work there.
