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!)

Katie & Mark, The Black Horse Inn at Clifton
For the first time this year the sun was actually shining on the morning of Katie & Mark’s wedding day! I met Katie and her family at home where they were excitedly getting their glad rags on and making final arrangements. After a bit of dress and hoop wrestling Katie was ready to make her appearance at the bottom of the stairs. I love her dress and even better she had some converse on instead of heels! It was a short ride up the road to the church where Mark was nervously waiting. I love how the church doors and stairs provided a fantastic dramatic entrance for Katie – I mean […]
Rachel & Gareth, Daffodil Hotel elopement
I love an intimate elopement wedding, so special for just the both of you. Imagine taking a trip to the beautiful Lake District and getting married while you are there! Rachel & Gareth decided to make the trip to Grasmere to the Daffodil Hotel in February for their “just the two of us” wedding, they brought along their daughter too who was a fantastic ring bearer! With a simple and emotional ceremony in the hotel it was then time for some champagne and a wander around the hotel for some portraits We then managed to take a little walk outside in the hotel grounds in between […]
Natalie & Simon, Mosborough Hall Winter Wedding
Storm Dennis was in full force on Natalie & Simon’s wedding day but that didn’t stop the excitement in the getting ready room of Mosborough Hall with adorable bridesmaids getting their hair done and I absolutely loved Natalie’s gown and her designer wedding trainers – great idea! It was a quick breezy walk across to the ceremony room at the hotel where Simon was waiting with the groomsmen. The ceremony was lovely with a few tears and lots of laughter. Despite the storm we managed a few photos outside and made the most of the lovely interiors in the hotel too, we […]

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

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
