Carol and Mark planned a fantastic Leeds city centre wedding with their ceremony in one of our top locations, Leeds Civic Hall. It's such a hidden gem of a venue to get married in in Leeds. With that elusive quality of understated grandeur for a city centre civil ceremony locatio
Chantelle & Matt's Belmount Hall Wedding set in the lovely Lake District was a beautiful and sunny day. Chantelle's choice of gorgeous country-colourful flowers couldn't have been more appropriate for such a sunny day. Getting ready in the bridal suite at Belmount Hall and Ma
This is one of our absolute favourite venues, that's why we love being a recommended Inn at Whitewell wedding photographer! Laura & Luke were absolutely salt of the earth kinda people when we met them on Ilkley Moor for their engagement shoot and we were so excited about shoo
Lorna & Daniel's black tie wedding at Denton Hall was a wonderfully swanky affair. We love working here and have recently been made a recommended Denton Hall wedding photographer. And what a venue for a black tie wedding! With the gents in smart deep navy suits and bow ties,
Where do we begin with this amazing wedding!!? Keeley & Johnny's wedding at Castle Farm in Knaresborough, an exclusive wedding venue for only a handful of weddings a year had all the festival vibes and good times you could ask for in a relaxed farm wedding. Hidden off the roa
The Priests House is an increasingly popular wedding venue for us to photograph at, and with good reason... it's beautiful! In the Bolton Abbey estate, amongst many other popular venues owned by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, the Priests House is a wonderful old chapel conve
WHAT a venue Eden Wedding Barn in Cumbria is! In some of the most gorgeous scenery, this rustic wedding venue was a picturesque setting for Miles & Cindy's Anglo-Chinese wedding. We caught up with them both getting ready in adjoining cottages, with careful choreography to avo
Awesome views, epic woodlands, gorgeous people... what's not to love about this Otley Chevin engagement shoot with Kristie & Andy!? We dangled off cliffs, stomped through forests and talked about lasers and puppies, all in a bit of sunshine in a glorious bit of Yorkshire. Cou
For a venue known for it's intimate weddings, we were amazed when Rachel and Dave told us about their plans for a sperry tent wedding at The Star Inn in Harome. We thought 'Really!? Is that even possible!?' The Star Inn, for us, has always been for tiny weddings of under 40 guest
We started the day of Liz & Adam's East Keswick Village Hall wedding at the amazing Cufforth House in Becca Park. It's a grand private house in North Leeds that's great for cramming in the whole family ahead of the big day which is where we met with Liz. Getting ready in the
Every so often we like to post a few photos from our own travels and exploits - and everyone seems to like these posts too, so here we are again! Being so busy in the summer, and with 40 weddings this year, we tend to cram in as much as possible into our brief winter and early sp
By now, you'll hopefully know we're huge advocates for small weddings. The Old Deanery in Ripon is ideal for such intimate weddings, it's self-contained, in a beautiful setting and flexible enough to feel cosy enough for a tiny wedding or large enough for a medium sized shindig.
We're big fans of humanist ceremonies here at J&L HQ, so we were very excited when Lindsay and Sam got in touch with us to ask us to shoot their humanist ceremony at the Priests House near Bolton Abbey. It's a great bit of Yorkshire to get married in too, surrounded by fields
If there's one place to get married in Yorkshire for a tiny wedding, it has to be the Star Inn in Harome. Their Cross House Lodge is large enough to seat your nearest and dearest and have a Michelin starred meal for them too. There's something so relaxed about the tiny village of
We'll never get tired of this location, it's just so epic and there's always somewhere new to explore... like the massive cliff looking out over the Wharfe valley was a new find for Laura & Luke's Cow & Calf engagement shoot. We had fun, and a bit of a giggle stomping thr
Like all our couples, Joy and Richard didn't want a stuffy traditional wedding. They opted for an Easter Sunday wedding at Rudding Park near Harrogate (which also happened to be April Fool's Day, just emphasising their sense of humour!) and they just ran with the Easter theme! Le
Not wanting it to become a theme for this wedding season but Tom & Catherine's Leeds engagement shoot was spent dodging raindrops. Armed with brollies and some Yorkshire determination we ventured into Meanwood Park, close to where these two live. Tom actually proposed to Cath
Sometimes rain is a bit of a blessing. It certainly was for Rachel & Dave's shoot in York forcing us to take cover in their barn. We love how weather can force you to think on your feet and seek to find the best qualities in difficult situations. Light and dark becomes the se
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Priory Cottages is just like a second home to us. And the same can be said for Felicity's family, too. Felicity's mum stays in the cottages regularly for a relax and unwind and it sets the tone wonderfully for Felicity & John's we
Brr! It in't 'alf bin chilly in Yorkshire recently, but that hasn't stopped us braving the moors for an engagement shoot or two! Richard and Rebecca are getting married in the summer so we caught up with them on one of their visits back to the north for a few photos and a catch u
