The South Barn which is used for the wedding reception is a stunning room with designer tables and a huge rose gold mirror ball which is the centrepiece of the dance floor. I particularly love the fact that they make a big show of any cake cutting or bouquet throwing by doing this in the middle of the dance floor. Couples can also choose to have the famous Wharfedale Grange confetti canons for their first dance, which makes for some pretty epic photography! In fact, confetti is a big thing at Wharfedale Grange. You can have it outside in the courtyard, inside under the balcony or on the dance floor. See examples below;
My biggest tip for your wedding at Wharfedale Grange is to get ready for the big day in the gorgeous Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse onsite. You can even stay there overnight with your bridal party as it has six bedrooms. This house is a photographer’s and a bride’s dream! It is sumptuous, elegant, luxurious and equipped with fine furnishings and gorgeous lighting. Ella choose to get ready for her big day at the farmhouse with her fabulous bride tribe.

I’m primarily a documentary style wedding photographer which means I have a very natural approach to capturing your day. I’m not interested in fake grins or posing people. My aim is always to capture how your day feels not just how it looks, by photographing moments that have real meaning. I’m all about the laughter, the joy, the tears and the personalities and really photographing the character of your day. That’s not to say I won’t make some beautiful creative portraits, which I love doing, but these will also be done in a very natural way.
I also won’t take you away from your guests for a long time for group shots. Of course, I always include group shots if you would like but I get these done quickly and efficiently so you can get back to chatting with your guests. Please see more information on my approach here.
As a Leeds wedding photographer, I have a documentary style, naturally capturing real moments and emotions without staged posing. I work mainly in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Cumbria, but I also travel across the UK and abroad, photographing weddings of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to large-scale events.
My photography often features the dramatic landscapes of North Yorkshire and other regions of the UK. I love incorporating scenery, colour, and beautiful light into my images to create vibrant modern images that reflect the time and place you were married. I’ll provide some gentle guidance for any artistic portraits, and I’ll happily follow you up a mountain if you have chosen a venue with stunning surroundings. I’ve received several awards and have had my work published my work in various media.
