Welcome to Kirsty Mattson Photography. I’m a documentary-style Yorkshire wedding photographer working primarily throughout Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Cumbria, but also venturing further afield to cover 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 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 portraits, incorporating beautiful light, colour and scenery.
“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 images published in blogs, training articles and magazines. I am also qualified with the Guild of Professional Wedding Photographers, and have won several awards with the Masters of Wedding Photography and Fearless photographers.
What a fantastic year of fabulous couples and amazing weddings! Thanks to all my lovely couples who were absolutely brilliant to work with and for choosing me as your wedding photographer. 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 East, shooting at some of the region’s most celebrated 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 regularly cover weddings in Leeds, York and Harrogate
