Malmaison York Wedding Photographer

Rooftop views of York and the Minster, a city-centre hotel and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.

01 / Why I know Malmaison York

I've photographed weddings at Malmaison York.

I'm Aaron, a documentary wedding photographer based in Guisborough, and North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 2022. I've photographed a few weddings at Malmaison York, including Ryan and Ben's.

The rooftop views of York and York Minster are what make Malmaison York special to photograph. It's a very different wedding from a country house.

02 / Real wedding at Malmaison York

Ryan & Ben. A city wedding with Minster views.

Ryan and Ben were married at the hotel, and then the party moved up to the rooftop bar.

From the rooftop you can see the roofs of York and York Minster, so the celebration had the city skyline as its backdrop.

The photographs below are from Ryan and Ben's wedding at Malmaison York.

03 / A few minutes together

Short portraits, back to your guests quickly.

My couple portraits at Malmaison York take about twenty minutes. I aim for the softer light near sunset, so you're only away from your guests for a short time.

Three things I'd tell you about Malmaison York.

The rooftop bar

Ryan and Ben's celebration moved up to the rooftop bar after the ceremony. The views over York and York Minster make a striking backdrop, especially in the softer light near sunset.

The York skyline

From the rooftop you can see York Minster and the roofs of the city, which gives the celebration a setting you won't find anywhere else in York. I aim for about twenty minutes of portraits, so you're back with your guests quickly.

If it rains

I don't work to a fixed rain plan. We just make it work. It's a hotel, so there's plenty of indoor space, and if the rain breaks we nip up to the rooftop.
