As a North Yorkshire wedding photographer, I have a documentary style, naturally capturing real moments and emotions without staged posing.

My photography often features the dramatic landscapes of Yorkshire and other regions of the UK.

The Orangery at Settrington, located in Malton, North Yorkshire, boasts an illustrious history and stunning design that dates back to the late 18th century. Its initial construction was orchestrated by the renowned architect John Carr of York, who meticulously designed the property to capture the aesthetic beauty of the Palladian style. The Orangery was initially conceived as a venue for lavish parties and social gatherings by the family who owned it. However, over time it fell into disrepair and was left neglected. Its transformation began in 2010 when it was restored to its current grandeur by Francis Johnson and Partners Architectural Practice. Today, the Orangery at Settrington offers a unique blend of historic elegance and modern comfort as one of the most sought-after wedding venues in North Yorkshire. The venue features a picturesque main hall, an impressive marble terrace, and stunning landscaped gardens, all of which contribute to the overall enchanting and romantic environment.

I work at wedding venues throughout the region, including:
My style is a blend of documentary photography and creative portraiture.

I’ll offer gentle guidance without any posing or forced grins for some lovely natural portraits.
I cover weddings in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Cumbria, and I am available for UK-wide and international locations.
I’ll offer some gentle guidance in a very natural way for a few creative, high-impact, portraits, incorporating beautiful light, colour and scenery.

I have a background in scientific education and have worked in some top universities worldwide. This has been a great benefit to me in learning all the technical aspects of photography. I have a great deal of experience utilising additional lighting, such as flash, for dark situations or just for creative night-time portraits. You can rest assured that you will still have a set of images that you love even if you have a dimly lit venue or a rainy day.
My style is natural and colourful. I take a great deal of care when editing images, but I want your images to look like your day looked, so they are not over-edited. I do not use bulk treatments or presets; I hand-edit every image to the highest standards. I also include a small amount of retouching when needed.
I am qualified with the Guild of Professional Photographers. I have received recognition and awards from some of the top photographic institutions, such as Fearless Photographers and the Masters of Wedding Photography.
