If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in York (or the rest of Yorkshire really), I offer a natural, relaxed and eco-friendly approach that is uniquely you.
Sustainable wedding photography without all the must-haves and have-tos. Capturing every big and small detail in a fun and relaxed way.
You’re here because your wedding is all about having a wonderful time with your favourite people. You don’t care about having all the “things” or formalities. You just want to celebrate your love and be completely yourself whilst still getting beautiful photos.
If this sounds like you and you don’t think I am a total hippy (or maybe you do and you like it) then…

I get it, unless your name’s Kardashian, you probably don’t love having your photo taken. I always say I am more like a friend on your wedding day rather than a professional with a massive camera in your face. I won’t be asking you to say cheese (maybe pizza though) and you won’t be getting propped into any stiff poses. Instead, you can focus on having the best day while I capture fun, natural and creative photos you’ll love.
If you’re wondering about wedding photography prices in Yorkshire, I like to keep things simple with package options. Every wedding is different and I absolutely love that. You do you! Find out more to figure out what you might want for your day.
I specialise in capturing those real moments between you and your guests. Sure, we’ll get the family and couple photos sorted too whilst laughing and having fun, but your favourite shots will always be those happy, real moments together. I’ll come to your wedding, jump in head first and capture those precious memories for you to treasure forever.
“Our wedding photographs are incredible and Alice simply wonderful. She managed to capture so much love and happiness from our special day. Her photographs are really natural and she snapped so many moments that we didn’t even know were happening. She’s really witty and it’s like having another friend at your wedding. Alice will put you at ease straight away.”
“Alice made us feel so relaxed and fitted into the day perfectly, nothing was too much trouble for her. She captured such special memories for us and did it in such a fun, creative way. She is an extremely talented wedding photographer but also is an incredibly thoughtful, lovely person and we feel very lucky to have shared our wedding day with her. We can’t recommend her enough.”
Absolutely! All of my quotes, no matter how short the coverage is, come with a free consultation in York. I know how hard it is to choose the right photographer, and also how important it is to feel we are a good match. Please get in touch if you want to go for a coffee or have a pre wedding shoot and get to know each other a little, whilst talking about your exciting day ahead.
Yes, I ask for a £500 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to block that day in my diary to all future enquiries and mark it as all yours! The rest is broken down into two further payments one six months before and the last one one month before the wedding to spread the cost a bit.
It totally depends on what you want to get out of your photography and the size of your wedding. Two photographers means the whole day is captured from two different angles, as four eyes see more than two. If you have a large wedding party and it’s important to you to have that side of your wedding equally captured as well as you two, who will always be my priority, and all the big and small details on the day, then it is always a good idea to have a second photographer. This also means that two preparation locations can be captured in the morning, which make great memories and are really fun to look back on with each other afterwards. “What?! You did axe throwing whilst drinking rum before the ceremony?!!” True story 😉
In an engagement shoot, we’ll have the chance to spend a couple of hours together in a relaxed setting in York. We can go for a woodland stroll or have a coffee and chat whilst I take pictures of you two. It’s a really relaxed time where you can get used to me and the camera and in the end, you’ll have some beautiful pictures. A lot of my couples use these for their invites too.
Absolutely not! I totally understand because I’m the same. On the day you’ll probably be too busy having the best time ever that you’ll hardly notice me. When it comes to couples pictures, all we do is go for a stroll and I can direct you a little, if it doesn’t feel natural at first. It’s a great way to have a little bit of time out for you on the day. Just the two of you, with my “not scary” camera, of course.
I think there’s nothing nicer than sitting on the sofa together on your anniversary or with family and friends and looking through an album rather than at a computer screen. I make an album every year of our life as a family. I love these so much. Along with 30 albums of my childhood, these are some of the most valuable things I own. You are creating something for the future to keep forever and pass on. All albums are hand-made, fine art albums produced locally in Yorkshires finest photo labs to achieve the best quality possible and minimise the carbon footprint. I design them for you and you can check over them to see if everything is ok before we order. Nothing else is needed, just choose your highlights and I’ll do the rest.
My style is natural and honest. People often ask me where we know each other from as I come across like a friend on the wedding day. This is a huge compliment to me and exactly what I want to achieve. I blend in and celebrate your love with you. I want to portray you the way you are. No awkward posing necessary. I’ll capture you best when you feel relaxed, happy and totally yourselves.

Sure! I know how important they are to a lot of people and they are a great way of making sure you definitely have a picture with the most important guests. However, I also acknowledge how tiring they can be…so I try to encourage you to keep them to a maximum of eight, and will often ask a family friend with a loud voice to help me round up people.
The average turnaround time is 6-12 weeks, depending on the season. But don’t worry, I’ll always send you a few highlights within the first week so you can get excited and share them with your loved ones.
