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.

Weddings with heart and colour, for people who don’t do awkward.

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?

Wow. Although we were already confident from Hannah's portfolio that she would be an excellent photographer for our Summer wedding, we were blown away with the photos she took. Hannah is extremely talented, she has 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. A true professional throughout the process. Look no further, she is hands-down the best there is.

WE LOVE HANNAH! Hannah photographed our wedding back in August 2023. From first meeting at a wedding fayre, Hannah had this calm, kind energy - qualities that really make you feel supported in your wedding planning and on the day. We had a pre-wedding shoot to help ease any nerves about posing for photos. We came away from that feeling even more sure of our decision to have Hannah as our photographer, as well as some beautiful photos on Otley Chevin. Hannah kept us in the loop and was organised with emails and messages in the lead up. On the wedding morning, it was like having another friend in the room helping keep things calm.

We couldn’t recommend Hannah more. Our intimate ceremony was captured for what it was, a celebration of us as a couple and family. She was friendly, unobtrusive and professional. The couple shots we got in museum gardens in York are just gorgeous and she got my camera shy hubby to become a bit of a model! My sister gets married in a few weeks and Hannah will photograph this too. She’s a big hit with our family ❤️

weddings

I’m not joking when I say, I LOVE weddings and being able to capture all that wonderful emotion and joy for my clients. 

I am primarily a North Yorkshire wedding photographer and a Northumberland wedding photographer, but I’ll travel anywhere for fun-loving couples, doing the big life stuff!

families 

Capturing your family moments just as you are, because I believe that you don’t need fancy props and that the small moments become the big moments. Let’s go for a walk in nature and embrace the mud and the chaos, or play at home and enjoy sofa snuggles

branding

Branding photos that make you look like YOU! I’m a big believer that your headshots don’t have to be stuffy and formal and that getting your personality across is a good thing! People buy from PEOPLE!
