Carr Hall Castle: My Favourite Yorkshire Wedding Venue!

I was thrilled to learn recently that I will be returning to the magical Carr Hall Castle, near Halifax, to photograph a wedding in May. Yorkshire is blessed with some amazing wedding venues but there is something truly special about Carr Hall Castle, a fact that was recognised by the Channel 5 series, "I Own Britain's Best Home" a couple of years ago in which the Castle beat 23 other finalists to win the public vote.
Originally a folly, built in the mid 19th century by a wealthy Halifax mill owner, Carr Hall Castle was never intended to be inhabited and was a virtual ruin for many years before being renovated at great expense by a couple of local businessmen and it is now one of the country's most exclusive wedding venues.
The Castle stands in a beautiful secluded wooded valley and boasts a deer park, a watermill, a lake and an indoor pool but what most impressed me about the place was how the owners had managed to tread the fine line between opulence and cosiness and got the balance just right.
It really is the perfect venue for a small, intimate wedding and I can't wait to get back there and start shooting again!

Here's a quick reminder of the last time I was there:
