I regularly get over to Cumbria to shoot at the many great venues within the Lake District and the broader county there such as Askham Hall, The Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge and Skitby House. Check out the blog posts below for recent Cumbria Weddings I’ve shot.

Best of 2022 by the best of the best wedding photographers in Yorkshire

2022: the year we got back to normal. Well it wasn’t exactly normal on planet wedding – super busy more like! All the wedding photographers in Yorkshire and through the whole country that I know busted out a serious shift. In addition to all the weddings you’d have in a normal year we had the […]

JOHN HOPE PHOTOGRAPHY’S BEST UK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY OF 2021

“I hope you enjoy this run down of some of my favourite shots from last year showing my best UK wedding photography of 2021!” I’m sat here writing this with the end game in sight at last. I’m not sure the world as we know it will ever be quite the same again but after […]

Askham Hall weddings

It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years since Lyndsay & Jake’s amazing wedding and I think this is largely because I would normally have done a whole load more weddings between then and now what with most of this years being bumped on. 2020 will be many things to many people but for a […]

BEST UK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2019

Is it just me or does each successive year go by more quickly than the last? 2019 just flew which means it must have been a cracker and on both a personal and business level it most definitely was for me.

Askham Hall Wedding Photography // Becks & Chris

Regular readers of my blog may remember a little preview of Becks and Chris’ wedding towards the end of last year. It was a really stylish affair – just check out how good the boys and girls looked – and in one of my favourite venues of 2015: full of character, quirks and charm. Aksham […]

BEST OF 2014

2014 we salute you! One HECK of year! As usual my work has taken me far and wide, from Bristol to Brittany, the rugged beauty of the Lakes and Dales, to the vibrant urban centres of London and Manchester and many places in between! I’ve met some awesome people, thrown shapes on the dance floor […]

Swan Hotel wedding photographer, Newby Bridge : Róisín and Graham

The Lake District is without doubt one of my favourite parts of the UK. I have fond memories of going there as a kid and and still visit nowadays every year or two for a break. Perhaps more than anywhere it has the capacity to show how dramatic and beautiful the English countryside can be. […]

Askham Hall wedding photographer – Becks and Chris, a preview

Well what a day Saturday was! Askham Hall wedding photographer for the day was the brief and my, what a cracking day it was. Stunning couple, stunning location, stunning weather… man, my job can be tough sometimes! I had honestly not heard of Askham Hall before Becks and Chris booked me to photograph their big […]
