Nearly missed out wedding venues in Harrogate and Knaresborough, as well as lovely places in East Yorkshire such as the KP Club Glasshouse near Pocklington.   Near there is the amazing wedding venue in the stately  Carlton Towers (in Carlton, between Selby and Goole), where we have also done an engagement pre-wedding shoot   We also regularly nip over to Manchester  for wedding photography and video DVD  and Oldham, Bury, and have done two weddings at Sandhole Farm Barn in Cheshire and other wedding venues near Congleton : , as well as a lovely one in the Windmill Inn see here:. and here for winter wedding photography in Sale;   We also venture further afield to rainy Wales -  though it was a sunny day when we covered a mediaeval wedding at Ruthin Castle - and during a mediaeval festival at Faenol Fawr in Bodelewyddan near Abergele ,  Add to that other wedding venues we have covered such as Duns Castle in Scotland near Edinburgh, Inchiriere Grange Hotel near Edinburgh, Crieff Hydro Hotel near Perth .  One week in August we had 7 weddings so were up in Scotland on the Wednesday, back in Yorkshire for the Friday and back up to Scotland the next day for a wedding in Auchen Castle. then on to Newcastle for an Asian wedding the following day! The castle wedding bride chose a Graphistudio weddingbook with amazing Acrylic cover .   See more Graphistudio wedding books here. Then we have been all the way down to Dartmoor for a romantic  wedding , see the the wedding ceremony in Tavistock Town Hall.  We've also done weddings at Sherborne Castle in Devon, and  Lutonhoo - an absolutely beautiful wedding venue near St. Albans - a stately home on a grand scale! website for Luton Hoo  We also  really love doing wedding photography and video in the Lake District - Cumbria - such as Langdale Chase Hotel on the shores of Lake Windermere, Eskdale Gatehouse - the Outward Bound Centre. , and the Inn on the Lake in Ullswater - we even had two Winter weddings there in January and April 2008!  Sandhole Farm Barn in Cheshire is another of our favourite wedding venues in the North of England near Manchester.
                   
We recently discovered a grand castle-like wedding venue near Selby - Carlton Towers -  in the village of Carlton in Yorkshire where the East West and North Yorkshire borders meet!  This is our pre-wedding shoot for Kath & Simon who got married there in June 2010.

Oulton Hall wedding Fayre  this year had a huge array of talent, in particular the beautiful models performing in the spectacular fashion show of wedding dresses, men's attire, and stunning  fashion dresses for wedding guests.
          
We also cover Asian wedding photography and video such as this Sikh wedding in Leicester and this Hindu wedding near LondonIf you would also like  mehndi, walima or nika wedding stages click here!
If you want a talented Mehndi artist, Sunita is the best! She paints complex mehndi designs directly from memory!
This was a Zimbabwean wedding in Wolverhampton, so we seem to attract many mixed race marriages and exotic ethnicities which is great! Sometimes we are lucky to have interacial marriages, with all the challenges of different skin tones, but its all good fun!  We've had French and Sikh, Hindu and Catholic, perfect Nigerian and milky white British, and other unusual combinations.  Husband and videoman Jorge is Cuban and I am British so we are a good choice for anyone having a wedding with cultural mixes! Overseas weddings specialsist Jim Gordan also has a good site!
               
We even go abroad to cover nice people's weddings internationally!  The first we ever did was in the Ice Hotel in Sweden, where the temperatures stays a steady minus 5 degrees - inside the hotel! Then when I was in Australia for a wedding at Jacobs Creek Retreat  (website for Jacobs Creek Retreat) I got an email asking me to quote for a wedding in the Loire valley in France at the Chateau de Detilly. (see the  website for Chateau de Detilly).  Since then we have done may overseas destination weddings, including video and photgraphy in a quaint chapel in Tenerife -after the initial wedding ceremony in Berties in Elland near Huddersfield, 3 weddings in Southern Ireland, including one in Kilkea Castle,  website for Kilkea Castle and even an Orthodox wedding in Egypt so we are used to picking up our ready-packed bags and hopping on a plane to some exotic wedding venue overseas.  I doubt that many wedding photographers will have had the experience of covering a Bedouin wedding in Petra Jordan, but I was thrilled to share two brides' wedding days there in 2009.  If you fancy a honeymoon trip to see real Bedouins in Petra and to go on an exciting tour  with one of them - even to the caves some families live in, then speak to Nawaf!  
Our next overseas wedding destination is in October when we'll be back in Australia for Carolene and Theo's wedding in Sydney harbour, then  we go from hot Ozzie summer to the exteme cold at the Ice Hotel in Sweden for Zoe and Stephen's very visually exciting wedding and next April we have another lovely couple's exotic wedding (Lauren & Trevor) in the Seychelles.  This UK site has lots of helpful info for brides planning to get married abroad. If you are looking for a wedding bouquet with a difference, why not try one with beaded flowers by Jen? Or if you need a one-off piece of jewellery for your wedding, Giannis and Andree have a special studio in Greece where they have been making wonderfully artistic creations that reflect the colours of the sea around Halkidiki in the North of Greece, where the waters are always crystal clear blue!  I have known t his couple for over 30 years  now so can truly vouch for their dedication to their art.  Sarti in Halkidiki is a great place for a honeymoon too! I also speak fluent Greek so if you plan getting married in Greece or Cyprus, Iand haven't yet booked your photographer, I'd love to cover your wedding photography for you - assuming I have at least 7 clear days without any other wedding bookings! We even pay for our own flights...
And anyone thinking of getting married on the magical Greek island of  Santorini here is just the person to help you organise your wedding - Amalia!
