Carlton Towers Wedding Photographer

Yorkshire Wedding Photography at One of the County's Most Stunning Venues

Hey – so here's the thing. I'm going to be completely honest with you (because that's just how I roll). I haven't actually photographed at Carlton Towers yet.

I know, I know – weird thing to admit on a venue page, right? But every single time a Carlton Towers couple has reached out, I've had to say those words I absolutely hate saying: "Sorry, I'm already booked on that date."

It's driving me mad, to be honest.

But here's why I'm so confident about Carlton Towers – the last time I photographed somewhere for the first time, the venue loved my work so much they redesigned their entire website using 90% of my photos. Don't believe me? Check out my Kielder Water wedding gallery, then have a look at their website. See for yourself.

So if you're planning your Carlton Towers wedding and I have your date available – let's make it happen. I would absolutely love to hear from you.

Why Carlton Towers is Absolutely Stunning

Look, Carlton Towers isn't your average wedding venue. This place is proper grand – we're talking Grade I listed Victorian gothic country house sitting in 250 acres of Yorkshire countryside. It's the kind of place that makes your jaw drop when you drive up.

The Ceremony Spaces

The Grand Hall is the showstopper – that oak staircase, those ceilings, the chandeliers. It's just ridiculous (in the best way possible). Perfect for ceremonies with a bit of wow factor.

But if you're more of an outdoor couple? The grounds are stunning. Beautiful gardens, a lake, mature trees – basically, a dream for natural, romantic photos. Weather permitting, obviously (this is Yorkshire, after all).

Where the Party Happens

After you've said "I do", you've got some seriously elegant spaces to choose from:

• The Venetian Drawing Room
• Gothic Morning Room
• State Rooms

Each one has its own vibe and can be dressed to match whatever theme you're going for. Whether that's classic elegance or something a bit more relaxed and fun.

Stay the Night (Or the Weekend)

Here's what I love – Carlton Towers has 16 individually designed bedrooms right there on-site. No worrying about taxis or driving anywhere. You and your guests can just enjoy the day properly.

The bridal suite? Absolutely gorgeous. Proper romantic haven for your first night as a married couple.

The Food Situation

Carlton Towers' catering team know what they're doing. Whether you want a formal sit-down dinner, a relaxed buffet, or something more creative with food stations – they'll work with you to make it happen. And make it delicious.

You Get the Whole Place

This is huge – when you book Carlton Towers for your wedding, you get exclusive use of the entire property. No other events, no random people wandering about. Just you, your people, and an absolutely stunning venue all to yourselves.

My Photography Approach

Right, so here's how I work. My style is natural, relaxed, and fun – with a documentary edge. I want to capture all the stuff that actually matters: the belly laughs, the tears (happy ones, hopefully), the questionable dance moves, the moments you didn't even notice happening.

No awkward, forced poses. No cheesy filters. Just real moments that take you right back to how your day actually felt.

With over 200 weddings under my belt, I've learned how to think on my feet. Things go wrong at weddings – it's just how it is. Someone's late, the weather changes, Uncle Dave spills red wine on his shirt. Whatever happens, I've probably dealt with it before, so don't worry – I'll roll with it and still get you beautiful photos.

Want me to hide behind a plant for a sneaky shot? Done.

Fancy playing the alphabet game during portraits to keep things fun? I'm game.

Think my jokes are terrible? That's fine – just keep laughing.

Getting Around to Carlton Towers

Carlton Towers is about 20 miles southeast of York, so pretty easy to get to from Leeds, Sheffield, or anywhere else in Yorkshire. Your guests won't be trekking to the middle of nowhere.
