FEEL GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
FOR FUN-LOVING PEOPLE

North Yorkshire Wedding Photographer

Wedding photos that feel joyful, authentic and totally you

If you want a wedding day you actually get to be at, rather than one you spend posing for, you’re in the right place.

No fake laughs in a field, promise

Here’s the thing. You’ve spent months, probably years, planning this day, and the last thing you want is to spend it stood in a field doing fake laughs while everyone else is at the bar.

Maybe you’re not really a “photo person.” Maybe the idea of a camera pointed at you all day makes you want to hide behind the nearest groomsman. Loads of my couples feel exactly that when they first message me, and they’ll happily tell me they hate having their photo taken. Then they go and enjoy it, which still makes me grin every single time. You don’t want stiff. You don’t want posed to within an inch of its life. You want colour, a proper party, your dog in at least a couple of the shots, and the people you love losing it on the dance floor. You’d rather make the memories than line up for them. If that’s you, brilliant. That’s exactly who I’m here for.

Hi, I’m Hannah

Lovely to meet you. Quick bit about me before we go any further. Before photography I spent 15 years in HR, which sounds like an odd warm-up act for a wedding photographer until you realise it’s basically a crash course in reading a room, staying calm when things wobble, and helping a nervous person relax without them really clocking what you’re up to.

Turns out that’s most of this job. I work in a documentary way, so I’m mostly hanging back and letting your day happen, with a gentle nudge here and there when you need one. No barking orders, no taking over your morning. The thing couples say most is that it felt like having a mate at the wedding rather than someone they’d hired, and honestly that’s my favourite compliment going.

Eight years in, a few awards picked up along the way (Top 100 WPJA and This is Reportage photographer worldwide, since you asked), and I still well up at the speeches. You’ll also get a batch of sneak peeks the day after the wedding, because making you wait weeks to see anything feels a bit mean.

Sound like your kind of thing?

LET'S HAVE A CHAT

We were blown away with the photos. Hannah captured every feeling of the day and the photos are our most treasured mementos to relive it all. She was also such a gorgeous part of our wedding, so warm and friendly, our family and friends were fully at ease with her and the results are amazing.

Chloe & Tom – Groomes Country House

WE LOVE HANNAH! She had a calm, kind energy – qualities that really make you feel supported in your wedding planning and on the day. Hannah kept us in the loop and was organised with emails and mesaages in the lead up. On the wedding day, it was like having another friend in the room helping keep things calm.

Becky & Ryan – Oakwood at Ryther

We couldn’t recommend Hannah more. She was friendly, unobtrusive and professional. The couple shots we got in York are just gorgeous and she got my camera shy hubby to become a bit of a model!

Danielle & Lee – York Registry Office

I was nervous about being photographed, but Hannah made it feel easy and even fun. A total pro and a truly cherished part of our day. I wish we could hang out all over again!

Sarah & Will – Wyresdale Park

We can be very awkward and didn’t want to be taken away from our guests for ages. Hannah absolutely understood the assignment. It was like she was undercover. We didn’t even know she was there taking most of the photos!

Teri & Luke – Left Bank, Leeds

From the get go Hannah made us so relaxed. We honestly had the best time and even enjoyed being photographed, which is a first for us! The next morning she got our sneak peeks to us before we’d even woken up.

Becky & Robin – Ghyll Barn

Nothing worse than having a photographer that people are uncomfortable around. She was the complete opposite. Everyone absolutely loved her, it was as if she was part of the family.

Amy & Marc – Sandycove Hotel
