Wedding photography and film at York Minster
York Minster is a church wedding venue in Yorkshire, one of the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe, offering couples a ceremony space of extraordinary scale and beauty.
York Minster is one of the great cathedrals of Europe, with soaring gothic architecture and breathtaking stained glass. A ceremony space full of awe, top of our wishlist.
We have York Minster firmly at the top of our wishlist, and it is easy to see why: the soaring architecture, the famous stained glass casting colour across stone floors, the sheer sense of history and occasion. For photography and film, a space like this writes its own story. We would love nothing more than to bring our cameras here and do it justice.
Getting to York Minster
York railway station is your best bet, sitting just a 10 minute walk from the Minster. Trains run regularly from Leeds, Manchester, and London Kings Cross, so getting here by rail is genuinely straightforward. If you're flying in, Leeds Bradford Airport is the nearest option, roughly 25 miles away, with taxis and buses connecting to York city centre. Driving into York can be tricky. The city centre has limited parking, but Marygate Car Park and the Park and Ride services are reliable choices. Give yourself extra time if arriving by car, especially on weekends. For the evening, pre-booking a local taxi firm like Streamline Taxis is wise. York gets busy, so don't rely on flagging one down.
