my wedding photography style for your harrogate wedding

I am a relaxed and fun wedding photographer, spending time with you before the wedding to make sure I feel like an extra friend at your wedding rather than a stuffy stranger making everyone feel awkward.

I strike a great balance of a candid, documentary style during your ceremony and drinks reception and am able to then give a little bit of posing direction during your family photographs to make sure everyone looks great. We then spend some time taking beautiful natural couples portraits with just the right amount of wow.
