We tell wedding stories in Yorkshire

with Photo + Video

Planning on getting married in Yorkshire? Whether you’re planning a barn wedding in the Dales, a tipi celebration in the Moors, or a party in a city pub – your day deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. I’m Andy, an award-winning Yorkshire wedding photographer and I capture weddings with honesty, emotion, and absolutely no awkward posing. I photograph celebrations across Yorkshire, the UK, and beyond – telling love stories filled with connection, joy, and a bit of beautiful chaos. As your photographer, I’ll capture every moment of your Yorkshire wedding day.

My photography style is relaxed and natural. I won’t direct your day or tell you how to pose. I want you to be yourselves – to laugh, cry, dance, and soak it all in. While you do that, I’ll be there capturing the moments that matter most – as a photographer committed to telling your wedding story.

Wedding photography might seem like a luxury – but it’s the one investment that grows more valuable with time. A great photo brings you back – to how you felt, what you saw, and the people who shared it with you. That’s why choosing the right photographer matters. You need someone whose work speaks to you, who understands what makes your day your story, just like a thoughtful Yorkshire Wedding Photographer.

Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. After all, photos are one of the few things that last beyond the day itself. Wedding photography is a luxury, yes – but it’s one that only becomes more valuable over time. It’s a way to freeze the emotions, the people, and the fleeting moments that tell the story of who you are and how you loved.

Yorkshire Wedding Photographer – Destinations

Over the last 15 years, I’ve photographed weddings around the world — but nothing beats a Yorkshire wedding. York is full of character and history, with amazing venues inside the city walls and across the region. From rolling hills to gritty city streets, Yorkshire has it all. And let’s be honest – Yorkshire folk are the best people to celebrate with. Being a wedding photographer in such vibrant surroundings is a privilege. You can check my availability for your wedding date here.

“Andy was the very best decision we made for our wedding! I have to give full credit to my handsome hubby who found Andy and whilst he wasn’t concerned about many details for the big day, he was adamant it had to be Andy, I quote “I will sell my kidney if I need to in order to book this guy”. Anyway, we got him, he was the best, bringing his ninja stealth qualities and unparalleled coolness to the day! The photos are stunning, we couldn’t be happier! Andy is even more awesome than we imagined!

A Personal Approach to Wedding Photography

Every couple is different – your wedding photography should be too. I’ll get to know you and your plans so I can capture your story with genuine meaning and emotion. It’s about more than just what your day looked like – it’s about what it felt like. Your Yorkshire Wedding Photographer should personalize each moment uniquely to your experience.

From morning prep through to late-night madness, I’ll be there for all of it. No strict timelines or cheesy direction – just honest, creative storytelling where every aspect of your day is captured with the unique touch of a Yorkshire photographer.
