Photographing Weddings in the Lakes, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and beyond!

Throughout the day we put you at ease with our friendly, relaxed attitude.

I am usually with the bride in the morning where my vast wedding knowledge is often put to the test by anxious brides.

How best to care for and hold your flowers,  best corsage practice and reassurance on timings for the day seem to crop up most frequently.

I always make time to take photographs of your wedding shoes, bouquet and jewellery. The little details of your wedding that are so important to you.

I’m always on hand to help brides into their dresses – something which can be surprisingly difficult once false nails are on!

At the same time as all this is happening, somewhere in a family home, hotel room or local pub, Paul is blending into the background, capturing the natural reactions of groom and groomsmen in the morning as they make final preparations and greet guests.

These relaxed portraits are often amongst couple’s favourite images and give the bride a chance to see what happened during the part of the day they would otherwise miss out on.

Throughout the day we photograph together, me at the front of the ceremony, and Paul at the back, capturing the ceremony from two different angles.

Following the service I ensure any group photos you require are done with a minimum of fuss while Paul captures guests chatting away.

We then work together to make the photos of the both of you nice and relaxed – no crazy poses (unless it’s a special request!)

Wedding Photography Testimonials

Trying to choose a photographer for your wedding is always hard, but Helen’s eye for the little details us Brides spend hours thinking about is what made me book her and Paul – they were both amazing and captured everything I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble.
Laura & Matthew
Helen and Paul manage to take great shots without it seeming like they are really even there, it’s not intrusive or too structured; they take fantastic natural shots. Would recommend them to anyone!
Anne-Marie & Tim
We couldn’t have asked for better photographers – our photos were just so beautiful, colourful, and captured so many special moments. Helen and Paul were an excellent team and the photography was kept relaxed throughout the day. Thank you both so much! x
Rebecca & Tom
We used PH Weddings after they did my sister’s wedding a few years ago and were fantastic then, we didn’t even consider anyone else. Such lovely, genuine and friendly people as well as amazing photographers. Thank you so much Helen and Paul
Anne-Marie & Tim
We can’t thank Helen and Paul enough for everything they have done for us! They are so much more than photographers, Helen was a godsend helping to ensure I was on time for my wedding and even helping me into my dress!
Joelle & Scott
The emotions they capture in the photos are unlike anything I have ever seen. I still cry at my wedding photos. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Jemma & Gareth
Helen and Paul were amazing on our wedding day (as well as before and after it!) Very friendly and professional, we barely noticed they were there. The photos are fantastic and even the little USB stick they came on is lovely!
Rachel & Seth
The pictures of our wedding were absolutely perfect, we love them so much! Our guests were so impressed, 2 of them are also using Paul and Helen for their weddings!
Hope & Ben
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Helen and Paul are. Their photos speak for themselves! The emotion the photos of others weddings provoke can only mean one thing, book them!
Jemma & Gareth
The album Helen & Paul produced was immaculate. I’d recommend them without reservation both as lovely people and skilled professionals.
Grace & Joe
Always so professional and personal. They manage to capture the day perfectly and individually to each couple. We use them regularly in our family (sisters wedding, kids shoots and family shoot) and they are always amazing! Thank you xx
Joy & Chris
Helen was the sole person that kept me calm before I left the room to meet my husband to be. She was an important and cherished part of my wedding day from the moment she stepped foot in the room while I was getting ready. I can’t thank you enough xx.
Jemma & Gareth
Our day was perfect and we absolutely love looking back on our amazing photographs. They really captured everything about the day and we are SO happy that we have such good photographs to keep that day alive.
Kate & Simone
It was nice being kept updated with the teaser photographs on Facebook. Highly recommended, thank you so much for everything!
Rachel & Seth
They aren’t intrusive on the day and it shows in our photos, all so relaxed and both of us having fun! We can’t recommend PH Weddings enough to anyone! Thank you both once again xxx
Emma & Andrew
We can’t thank Helen and Paul enough for our wonderful wedding photos. My husband and I both don’t like having our photos taken but Paul and Helen both put us at ease and we both really enjoyed the engagement shoot as well as our wedding shots.
Emma & Andrew
When I met PH weddings I felt very relaxed and comfortable and I knew from the start I wanted them taking my wedding pics, my wedding was very relaxed casual affair with a quirky twist and from looking at the way they worked I knew they could capture the natural, unposed photos I wanted.
Ami & Craig
Absolutely thrilled with our wedding photographs and the professionalism of Helen and Paul on the day of our wedding. They worked with us completely and gave us the personalised ‘relaxed photography’ mood which we asked for.
Kirsty & Tom
It is going to be so difficult to choose which ones to display in our home. Worth every penny! Helen and Paul have perfectly captured so many beautiful memories for us to cherish. Thank you so much!
Kirsty & Tom
Helen and Paul were very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!!
Kate & Simone
We were never rushed away from our guests and were given all the breaks we asked for in order to mingle. We are in love with the ‘natural’ shots that have been captured of our special day.
Kirsty & Tom
I am so happy with all of the photos and the album – I couldn’t believe how quickly it all arrived. Friends and family have all loved them and comment how there is a good mix of “posed” photos and then more relaxed/natural ones. I can’t recommend Helen and Paul enough, I will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you
Laura & Matthew
Paul and Helen took beautiful photos of our wedding day that captured the people, setting and feel of the day really well and left us with a record we really cherish.
Grace & Joe
Our day was captured perfectly and our photos and album are amazing, we will treasure them forever. I’m so pleased that we chose such a lovely couple to capture our day thank you x
Joelle & Scott
Amazing photographers, Amazing photographs 🙂 Helen managed to photograph the entire wedding despite being heavily pregnant you wouldn’t have even known they were there taking pictures! I would recommend them to anyone, they are so passionate and dedicated to what they do.
Ami & Craig

Our recent work photographing weddings in the Lake District and Sheffield

  • Cuddles in the camping field , Little SakeldAngela & Luke – pre-wedding portraits, Little Sakeld
    When I met Angela and Luke in the late summertime for their portrait photo session there was much talk about their upcoming wedding in November. Unfortunately stupid COVID meant that they had to postpone their big day until 2022. I met them in the Little Pod in the Woods glamping site in Little Sakeld near Penrith. What a fantastic place for a holiday! The camping pods look so cute and the area is so nice and secluded. We had plenty of places to explore on their pre-wedding photo session including a forest of pine Christmas trees and lots of lovely long grass (my favourite). Its always a good […]
  • Paula flapping her veil on the jetty at AmblesidePaula & Mike – Merewood House elopement in Windermere
    I love winter weddings and elopements for just the two of you are always super special. Paula and Mike opted to go for a special two of us package at Merewood House in Windermere followed by a big celebration next year. Merewood House is tucked away off the main road with lovely views of the lake and fantastic grounds. At Christmas time its lovely and cosy too with a lovely roaring fire downstairs. Paula was upstairs making final preparations and looking out on the views when I arrived and Mike was patiently waiting downstairs popping photos of friends and family in the ceremony room so they […]
  • Rebecca and Rob looking at each other at sunset in Rotherham Golf ClubRebecca & Rob, Christmas wedding in Rotherham
    I’m delving back in the archives today to revisit some of our favourite festive weddings from the past. Today’s blog features Rebecca & Rob’s big day in Rotherham just before Christmas with all the festive feels! Rebecca looked amazing in her gown and there were a few tears in the morning when she opened a note from Rob and from her Mum as she fastened her into her dress, I love these natural emotional moments. The church ceremony was fantastic and after a good old coating of confetti it was off to the reception at Rotherham Golf club I love a festively dressed reception […]

Wedding Photography in the Lake District

We love the Lake District for weddings with a difference, whether it’s posing by the fells, with your pets – horses, dogs – even llamas – we have seen it all!

Heading on a lake cruise for your first dance? No problem, we will be there!

We understand it’s a minefield trying to find the best wedding photographers in the Lake District and so we are more than happy to meet you beforehand to chat about your wedding plans.

We love lots of quirky locations in the Lake District for weddings and elopements and are more than happy to suggest locations in Cumbria for alternative wedding portraits.

Fells, tarns or even the Solway coastline are all amazing. Let your imagination run wild!

Gretna Green Elopement Wedding Photographer

We love to photograph elopements in the Lake District.

Intimate ceremonies in hotels, register offices or an outdoor humanist celebration in a field.

We love it all and are happy to suggest lovely locations to go on even if you just want to wear your wedding dress again and do a post wedding photo session in the Lake District!

We are located within a short drive from Gretna Green, the hotspot for elopements in the UK!

Gretna Green wedding photos are lots of fun and we have special packages for short wedding photography coverage in Gretna & the Lake District

Best Lake District Wedding Photography Venues

Some of the best Lake District venues to photograph weddings at include Lodore Falls set in the fells with a great view of Derwentwater and Inn on the Lake in Glenridding,.

We love the outdoor pagoda for ceremonies with a difference and of course the views of Ullswater.

We love Cumbria weddings in fields, barns or quirky venues – the more unique the better.

We have worked in all wedding conditions – the best the Lake District weather has to throw at us!

Wedding Photography in Sheffield

Having previously lived in Sheffield for 10 years we have photographed many weddings in Sheffield. Some of our favourite wedding venues are Whirlowbrook Hall, Wortley Hall and the Botanical Gardens.

There are some amazing quirky venues for wedding photography in Sheffield and beyond.

In the Peak District we love Cressbrook Hall and all the Peak District locations – Surprise View is one of our favourite places for photo sessions!

Wedding Photography in Yorkshire

There are many amazing wedding venues in Yorkshire for your wedding photography, we have pages dedicated to all of the wedding venues we have photographed at.

Paul grew up in Yorkshire and Helen in Cumbria – we met at sixth form in Cockermouth School and have been together ever since.

We have two beautiful boys, Stanley and Albert and moved back to our home county in 2018.

Based on the outskirts of the Lake District, we love to explore the Lakes with our boys.

Particularly exploring undiscovered islands on our dinghy and when the boys are at school we like to head out on our bikes and discover the fells and beautiful Solway Coast.

Helen likes to run for fun (yes really!), watch reality TV and appreciates a good afternoon tea.

Paul loves to play snooker and collect retro video games.

Same Sex Weddings

We love photographing same sex weddings in Cumbria and Yorkshire and have been the wedding photographers at several over the years.

Humanist Ceremonies

We have been lucky enough to photograph humanist celebrations and elopements around Sheffield and the Lake District.

If you are looking for fantastic portrait photography for children or maternity sessions I have a separate website where you can see my work as a lifestyle family photographer www.portraitsbyhelen.co.uk
