Wedding Photography in Leeds & Yorkshire

Established. 2016

Hi! I’m Heather, a Leeds-based wedding photographer capturing relaxed, stylish weddings across Yorkshire and the UK. Thank you for coming to my page to find out more about how I work.

My approach is all about documenting the day naturally as it happens; the big moments, the in-between moments, and all the little details you might miss. I shoot using both digital and 35mm film to create timeless, authentic images that feel true to you and the atmosphere of your day — with plenty of laughter and fun along the way.

"  Booking Heather was one of the best decisions we made. She captured our day with such skill and artistry, creating beautiful photographs full of joy, love and fun — even with the rain. We’ve printed so many images for ourselves and our guests, and every single one is stunning.

 

To anyone worrying about the weather on their wedding day don't - book Heather!

You’re in the safe talented hands. "

The ART of seeing

Relaxed, Natural Wedding Photography

My approach to wedding photography is relaxed, natural, and stylish.​ It’s about more than just beautiful photos. It’s about capturing the feeling of the day and preserving those moments in a way that takes you right back to them.

 

Alongside natural, documentary-style coverage, I also love creating effortless portraits you could see in a magazine and fun, relaxed group photos that never pull you away from the celebrations for too long.

I’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly allow the day to unfold naturally, creating images that feel honest, emotional, and truly reflective of you both.

Digital & Analogue Film Wedding Photography

I photograph weddings using a mix of digital and 35mm film photography, blending the reliability of digital with the softness and character of analogue film.

Film adds a timeless, nostalgic feel that’s difficult to recreate, while digital allows me to capture moments naturally as the day unfolds. Together, they create a wedding gallery that feels thoughtful, emotive, and true to the atmosphere of your day.

Leeds Wedding Photographer

Based in Leeds, I regularly photograph weddings across the city and surrounding areas, from intimate celebrations to larger venue weddings. Being local means I’m familiar with Leeds wedding venues, light conditions and timings, allowing me to work confidently and calmly throughout the day. I love documenting weddings that reflect the energy, creativity and warmth of the couples who choose to celebrate here.

Wedding Photography Across Yorkshire

Alongside Leeds, I photograph weddings throughout Yorkshire, including North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and beyond. From countryside barns to historic estates and city venues, Yorkshire offers an incredible variety of wedding locations. I’m always happy to travel across the region to document weddings in places that are meaningful to you.

Real Weddings in Leeds & Yorkshire

The best way to understand my work is through real weddings. Each gallery reflects a unique couple and celebration, photographed with care and consistency. These weddings show how I document full days — from quiet morning moments through to the energy of the evening — capturing the complete story rather than just highlights. Please get in touch if you'd like to see more.
