Wedding Photos at Waterton Park Hotel, near Wakefield: Sarah + Paul

Yesterday I joined Sarah & Paul to photograph their wedding at the lovely Waterton Park Hotel near Wakefield. As I’d never photographed at Waterton Park before, I joined Sarah & Paul for a pre-wedding nosey there on the most perfectly sunny day ever (check the pics here). However, yesterday’s forecast predicted some kind of crazy biblical hurricane, […]
Wedding Photos at Holdsworth House in Halifax, Yorkshire: Sarah + Graham

Yesterday I joined Sarah & Graham to photograph their sunny wedding at Holdsworth House near Halifax in Yorkshire. Not only do Tracey & the gang there look after us snappers ridiculously well, but Holdsworth House is a fantastic place to photograph a wedding. The ancient low-beamed ceilings, creaky floorboards and farytale topiary garden out back (with maze […]
Wedding Photography at The Priests House + Cracoe Village Hall in Lancashire: Marianna + Matt

Yesterday I joined Marianna & Matt to photograph their wonderful outdoor wedding at the amazing ‘Priests House‘ (which belongs to the Bolton Abbey Estate). They held their bunting & paper lantern filled afternoon reception at Cracoe Village Hall in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s rare one gets to photograph an outdoor wedding ceremony, even rarer awash with sunshine! So […]
Wedding Photos at Yorebridge House Hotel, Wensleydale

Yesterday I joined Chantelle & Chris to photograph their wedding at the beautiful boutiquey Yorebridge House Hotel, deep in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. We’d done their prewedding practice shoot there not long back (check out their blog post here) and it looked like such a funky place to photograph a wedding. Not only that but most of the […]

Merchant Taylor’s Hall Wedding Photos in central York, Yorkshire: Emily + Martin

On Friday I was lucky enough to join Emily & Martin for their wedding photos at Merchant Taylor’s Hall in York – a stunning, ancient medieval guildhall near the city wall in the Aldwark area of the city.

Awesome farm marquee wedding photography: Alice + Andrew

One of my very favourite weddings this year was the wedding of Alice & Andrew, up in Ingmanthorpe & Kirk Deighton, round North Yorkshire. No matter the size & scale of a wedding, it’s great to see a couple, relaxed and in love, in the middle of their big day, enjoying every moment. I caught […]
Kate + Barrie’s Wedding Photos at Hazlewood Castle, Yorkshire

The last of my December weddings was joining Kate & Barrie for their big day. These kids were so much fun to shoot. It was at Hazlewood Castle, a fantastic venue on the way out to York, still chilling under a dusting of snow. It’s always fun shooting there. Here’s the beautiful Kate, being made […]
30th Gangsters and Molls birthday photobooth – photography by Barnaby Aldrick

I recently turned thirty and last night celebrated this milestone with a good pal of mine, the lovely Jennie Chapman, who’d just turned 25. Cos fancy dress not only is fun but breeds fun, we decided to make it a Gangsters and Molls themed knees up. The theme could be liberally interpreted, and I was […]
