Hey hey! I'm Laura - a Yorkshire wedding photographer, baby photographer and family photographer. I live near Ilkley but cover Leeds, York, Harrogate and well, just about anywhere. Basically I get to people-watch for a living, how lucky a I?!
I'm mostly powered by tea, Gin and cake. When I'm not working I love to head to the coast, get lost in the woods, catch up with my favourite people, or enjoy a mammoth Netflix binge. Oh and eat, I count eating amongst my hobbies.
I'm fluent in sarcasm, love a dirty joke, and quote too much from Friends...
My style doesn't really fit into one box. I'm a documentary photographer and spend most of the wedding day people-watching, but I also love to create some gorgeous portraits with a bride and groom as well. I look for the wide shots but focus on the little details too. I mostly use natural light but also some selective flash (mostly on that packed dance floor!). I like to blend in but also get to know you and your guests, so it feels like a friend is taking your photos. Every wedding is unique and I love to work with my couples to make sure that they get a set of photos that truly reflect their day. It's a huge privilege which I never take for granted. I’m so lucky that my job allows me to step into the lives of so many people and families, if only for a short time. I love hearing their stories and helping them to tell a new one. And I'm not ashamed to admit I love the stuff too - from flowers to cake to dress, you spend hours choosing these details and they deserve to be documented!
For weddings, it's all about the story. I want to share the whole day with you; from the nervous excitement of the bridal preparations, through the wobbling voices and "I must not cry on camera" faces of the ceremony and speeches, to the crazy dance floor action (and let me tell you, I have seen some MOVES). I also love to capture all the little details and special touches that make your wedding, yours. The flowers, the dress, the cake, the stationery, the shoes, the flowers (my fave!). And of course I want to spend some time with just the two of you, creating some beautiful portraits. Now I know that will make some of you nervous, but don't worry, you will love this bit! Together we'll pick out some great locations, I'll stand you together, and then I'll step back and just let you two be you two. I want to make sure that your photos are personal and meaningful to you. So if you're the kind of couple who automatically wrap their arms around each other and get super close then great, that's what I'll capture. Or if you prefer to wander around and laugh at how daft you feel then great, I'll capture that too!
I have photographed weddings all over Yorkshire and further afield, and I'm very honoured to even be recommended by some of my favourites, including The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey, East Riddlesden Hall, Carlton Towers, Goldsborough Hall, Rudding Park, The Hawkhills York and The Sun Pavilion Harrogate.
