Heather Butterworth Photography

Est. 2016

“From our very first Zoom call, we knew Heather and James were the perfect fit. Warm, professional, and incredibly talented, they made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. On the day, they kept everyone relaxed while capturing every moment so naturally — the photos and films are beyond anything we could have imagined. The previews arrived within 48 hours, the final gallery was totally stunning, and the video left us in tears. Not only are they exceptional at what they do, they’re two genuinely lovely people we now consider friends. We’ll never stop recommending them.”

Hi!
I'm Heather and this is James

Together we are Heather Butterworth Film and Photography
- a multi award-winning Yorkshire wedding photographer and videographer duo.

Our story started as best friends at school before we got married ourselves!

​​

Based in Leeds, we capture weddings across Yorkshire, the North, and beyond through natural, stylish photography and videography.

Specialising in digital and 35mm film wedding photography, we also offer hybrid film coverage and cinematic wedding videography to tell your story in an authentic way.

Artful storytelling, beautifully documented

With a background in art and design, my work is influenced by art, fashion, film, and contemporary storytelling — creating imagery that feels both honest and timeless.

We specialise in documentary wedding photography and videography that captures not just how your day looked, but how it felt — the emotion, atmosphere, fun, and energy that make every wedding unique. I love documenting the magical little moments you may not even realise are happening.

My approach is calm and unobtrusive, allowing you to be fully present while I capture everything naturally, alongside a few effortless and stylish portraits and some relaxed and fun group photographs.

Photography & Videography

- Our services

 

1. Just photography on digital and 35mm film.

 

2. Hybrid photo and video - Photography as above with a 3-5 minute highlights film of some of the loveliest bits of your day 

 

3. Photography and full videography - add James as your dedicated videographer to film the whole day alongside me, and choose your own length of wedding film. Working together allows us to seamlessly capture your whole wedding, while keeping the experience relaxed, natural, and lots of fun. 

An experience designed to feel natural

Every wedding is unique and we take the time to understand you, your story, and the atmosphere you want your day to hold.

Every booking includes a pre-wedding shoot a chance to feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera, have some fun together, and get excited for the big day ahead. By the time your wedding arrives, being photographed will feel natural, easy, and genuinely enjoyable.

My approach

My aim is to create photography and films that feel timeless, personal, and full of fun — allowing you to relive your wedding exactly as it felt.

A little more about us

James and I love working together whenever we can. We bring a calm, fun energy to the day and we really care about creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable for our couples.

At home in North Leeds, we live with our little family and our cat, Lulu Zelda.
