Consistent Catering Partnership

Where are Woodstock weddings and events? Can we have an intimate gathering there? How many guests can Woodstock Accommodate?

Just north of York, Woodstock Weddings and Events is a converted barn and stables space perfect for cosy weddings, both inside and out, for between 50 and 280 guests, including separate spaces for ceremony and reception, bar, second Tiki bar, mezzanine chill out area, and courtyard looking out onto the meadow.

What about Accommodation?

Besides the preparation spaces for both bride and groom, Woodstock Weddings offers 4 bedrooms on site for up to 8 guests, included within the venue hire, with many hotels and Air BnBs in the surrounding area too. Ella and her bridal party opted to stay in an Air BnB in Haxby.

Where do I contact a celebrant?

Woodstock Weddings is licensed for your ceremony with York registrars at registrar@york.gov.uk

How Long Did it Take to Say Yes to the Dress?

Ella had actually already bought her dress when she saw another in a pre-loved shop. It fitted perfectly, without the slightest adjustment - true serendipity! The first dress still came to the wedding with her, just in case, but never made an appearance! I think you'll agree when you see the gallery below...

Why Choose Champagne Shutter Photography?

I firmly believe in the right balance of being friendly, along with a professional eye for detail.  You are investing in expertise to ensure elegant heirlooms to keep forever after your wedding, but the best wedding photographs gain their elegance through your comfort with your wedding photographer, so that I can orchestrate the odd tweak, where needed, with no awkwardness.  That’s why I pay close attention to your bespoke plans in our consultations leading up to your wedding and ensure a pre-wedding photography session to further aid your comfort.  It’s from a genuine and authentic connection that the best wedding photography emerges.

With Tom at Champagne Shutter Photography, depending upon your chosen package, you can gain:

Unlimited coverage, usually circa 11 hours

From the curlers going in, to the party in full swing: preparation to dancing coverage, just beyond cake cut and first dance, including twilight couple’s portraits

Arrival to cover details and latter stages of preparation

Ceremony

Groups shots

Family shots

Couple portraits, inc. session at twilight, blue hour, sunset

Initial consultation meeting plus further planning consultation meeting to finalise your itinerary and requirements

Complimentary pre-wedding shoot (circa 2 & ½ hrs) to allow couples to get to know Tom’s approach, so you are comfortable in front of the lens prior to your wedding day – subject to mutually convenient date, (ideally but not exclusively mid-week) – provides photos for wedding save-the-dates, invites, website, or wall art

Skilled curation and editing of your online gallery (circa 600+ images on average)

Couple’s online gallery - download web resolution photos for online use, full resolution photos for prints & wall art orders – couples & family can “favourite” a selection of images to curate ideas for album design

Albums are available as either part of an integrated package or as an additional option later

Guests can enter a password-protected gallery to access and order social media downloads, prints, and wall art, from canvas, to framed, acrylic or metal prints

Couples can opt for two photographers – a second photographer is important if you want to cover more candid photos of friends during afternoon and evening receptions, when I am occupied with portraits elsewhere, and if you want to cover both of your preparations ahead of the ceremony

Every couple is different – and whilst it’s all well and good me extolling the virtues of what I think about portraying your day at a venue, we must make a genuine connection to tell your story!  Check out Champagne Shutter Photography’s approach here.
