York Wedding Photographer

beautiful wedding photography in york and beyond

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in York who’ll help you feel relaxed, supported, and completely yourself, then you’re in the right place.
Your wedding day should be full of love, laughter, and connection… not stress or pressure.

There’s so much to love about getting married in York. The cobbled streets, historic buildings and romantic atmosphere make it one of the most iconic wedding locations in the UK.

telling your love story through natural wedding photography

I’m Lisa, a wedding photographer in York with a passion for creating photos that feel just like you. My approach to wedding photography is relaxed and unobtrusive. I’ll blend in with your day (no cheesy poses or stiff setups here!) and focus on capturing all those genuine, joyful moments as they happen.

You don’t need to worry about being camera-shy or doing anything that feels unnatural. I’m not going to whisk you away for hours or ask you to pose endlessly. Whether you’re getting married in the heart of the city or out in the Yorkshire countryside, I’ll be there to capture every glance, laugh, and happy tear with honesty and care.
