Welcome to Kirsty Mattsson Photography. I’m a documentary-style Yorkshire wedding photographer and family portrait photographer working primarily throughout Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Cumbria, but also venturing further afield to cover portraits and weddings across the UK and abroad. I photograph all kinds of weddings, from small, intimate celebrations to large-scale, elaborate events. If you are planning your big day I’d love to hear from you!
My portrait and wedding photography style is primarily documentary which means natural and unobtrusive. I’m not interested in posing people and I won’t ask for fake grins! I have a very hands-off approach to capturing the unique moments, fun and emotion of your day. I’ll also offer some gentle direction in a very natural way for a few creative, high-impact wedding portraits, incorporating beautiful light, colour and scenery. I’m a Yorkshire wedding photographer that loves the scenery in this area and will happily incorporate rugged sweeping moorlands and dramatic Yorkshire views into my portrait and wedding photography.

“Oh my goodness Kirsty these are INCREDIBLE!!!! We cannot thank you enough! We’ve only made it through the first three albums and I had to stop to thank you as I’m just blown away with them, we absolutely love them! You’re amazing at capturing the emotion and memories which we love!! To quote my Mum…..”they are the best pictures I’ve ever seen”. You nailed it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! ”
I have had my wedding photography images published in blogs, training articles and magazines. I am also qualified with the Guild of Professional Wedding Photographers, and have won several wedding photography awards with the Masters of Wedding Photography and Fearless photographers.
What a fantastic year of fabulous wedding couples and amazing wedding venues! Thank you to all my lovely couples who were absolutely brilliant to work with and for choosing me as your wedding photographer. Many of these events were Yorkshire weddings but I also captured a few fabulous days further afield. It was hard to select from so many great weddings but here are my personal favourite images from 2019. I’ve chosen them for various reasons; they may have an interesting composition, unusual or amusing content, or have a strong emotional impact.
As a Yorkshire wedding photographer, I travel throughout the North or England, shooting at some of the region’s most celebrated Yorkshire wedding venues, including Ripley Castle, Allerton Castle, Goldsborough Hall, Hazlewood Castle, Bowcliffe Hall, The Mansion, East Riddlesden Hall, Wharfedale Grange and The Tithe Barn. I’m also very experienced as a York, Harrogate, Sheffield and Leeds wedding photographer.
I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a very wide range of weddings including castle weddings, church weddings, barn weddings, countryside weddings, city weddings, along with tepee and yurt weddings. Wherever you plan to get married I’d love to photography your wedding day!
Please have a browse through my wedding photography galleries to get a good idea of how I photograph different parts of the wedding day.
