We’re truly blessed to work with some of the most amazing photographers in Yorkshire. Over the years we’ve had some incredible and frankly ICONIC images captured at the venue. As part of our ‘5 Best’ series of blogs, here are some of our favourites!
Hamish Irvine
We can only describe Hamish as a party magnet. Every wedding he’s shot at the venue has been truly off the scale in terms of party vibes and tomfoolery!
“I bring maximum colour, light and life into my photographs. I arrive early and leave late. I like to blend in and create an atmosphere of fun and spontaneity where everyone feels relaxed in front of the camera.
I will give you photographs that you will love forever. I’m there to build a body of images that when you sit down in a year, two or twenty, it feels like you’re there. Knowing I’m taking care of this, you’ll relax, take every minute in, and have the best day ever.”

Victoria Baker Weddings
Victoria is almost part of the furniture at NCH, and definitely our most booked photographer over the years. She’s also been our go-to for shooting the venue itself, always perfectly capturing our unique ambience.
“Whether your vibe is a city micro wedding, an epic celebration in a wedding barn or a full blown huge wedding in the most exquisite venue there is, I have experience of them all!
I love being able to work with incredible couples that want something a bit different and aren’t worried about keeping up with tradition.”

Mollie Higgins Photo
Cool story about Mollie: She once arranged a styled shoot at New Craven Hall, featuring gorgeous model couple Andre & Cynthia. Little did Cynthia know, Andre had secretly planned (with the help of the suppliers involved), to actually propose during the shoot! The end result was some amazing photography including an actual engagement on camera – how great is that?!
“‘prompting not posing’
My style is all about being relaxed and having fun!
Be prepared for lots of laughs and having a bit of fun. Like it says above, ‘Prompting not Posing’. So no awkward smiles, just me telling you to kiss with your new parter over and over again with a mix of hugs and dancing thrown in between.”

Paul Joseph Photography
Paul & Kelly shot our first ever wedding back in 2017, and while our venue may have changed a lot since then, these two have not! They’re the same friendly, down-to-earth, passionate and cool husband and wife duo that we fell for all those years ago.
“We deliver wedding photographs that take you back to that moment or show parts of your day you never even knew happened. We are there for getting ready through until it gets loud on the dance floor. There are two of us which results in more coverage of the day from multiple perspectives. We like to just blend into the crowd and capture things just as they unfold.”

Louise Barry Photographer
Another photographer that just gets our vibe! Louise has shot some amazing weddings at NCH and always captures the details of the day, while blending into the background to make sure the couple and their guests can relax and enjoy themselves.
“I photograph weddings all over the UK but do find myself in the realms of Yorkshire most of the year; usually capturing a cool city wedding at a brewery or a converted industrial wedding venue!
I shoot in a documentary style with a sprinkle of styling for good measure; I shoot the majority of the day un-posed, letting whatever happens, happen.”
