Wedding photos full of life for people who don’t like stiff poses but belly laughs and real hugs (lots of them)

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. 

Every couple is
Unique Beautiful Special

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.

Creative and natural wedding photography that won't make you miss all the canapès

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.”

York Wedding Photographer FAQs

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.

Alice is such an amazing photographer. My partner and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but she made us feel so relaxed from the start. Our wedding photos are gorgeous. Thank you so much for capturing our day. It was so much fun.

Alice is a very friendly and relaxed photographer, she made us feel at ease from the moment we met. Alice got some great shots our wedding day and if you're after someone who doesn't do boring photos we would really recommend.

Alice was amazing at our wedding. We had a small wedding and Alice captured it perfectly, we hadn’t met her before but felt like we’d known her ages. The photos we received are so natural and not posed. I couldn’t recommend Alice enough

Alice blended into our wedding just like one of the guests and seamlessly captured the day from behind the lens. Before the day she took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we were after. The finished results are fantastic. We all love the group shots at a wedding, but the magic of Alice’s work is the candid shots, the one’s you didn’t know were being captured, and are absolutely thrilled with once you see them. Couldn’t recommend more highly! 💫

Where to start?! We don't have enough good things to say about Alice. Right from first enquiring about our wedding, through multiple date changes and uncertainty, to her presence on the day, and of course the finished photos - Alice was the perfect wedding photographer for us. On our wedding day she made us feel completely at ease, so much so that most of the time we weren't even aware that our photo was being taken! Neither of us like being photographed, but Alice is such a warm, funny and friendly person that it felt as though a close friend was taking our picture. The resulting photographs are so natural and beautiful, and mostly feature us laughing our heads off which very much reflects our relationship. Alice's style was just perfect for our relaxed, rustic, boho, eco-friendly day! We absolutely adore our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. We are so grateful to Alice for capturing these memories so perfectly. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Thanks so much Alice for being the most wonderful photographer for our wedding. You made us feel so relaxed and happy and got the best out of us - even when things may have felt stressful in terms of my feeling so nervous before the ceremony or when we were tired or had sore feet! You were so wonderful with the kids and all of our guests. My husband and I and our guests really appreciated your calm and fun presence, and I felt that you really sort of ‘got’ us and what our day was about. The photos are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! They’ve just made my husband and I cry. The colours are wonderful, they are artistic and even capture some of the smallest subtle moments, and you can really feel the emotion from them. Thanks again.

Alice was the photographer at both of our wedding services (as we had a legal ceremony during the COVID pandemic and one with family, once restrictions were lifted). She was excellent throughout, providing a great service. She was always friendly and helpful, something that several of our guests commented on. She was also really welcoming and had an eye for detail to capture all our special moments. In terms of her photos, these were genuinely fantastic and she has a real talent for composition. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing photography services!

I honestly don’t know where to start with thanking Alice for being an amazing part of our wedding! I am not a big fan of having my photo taken but Alice made it such a fun and friendly time. We really didn’t want lots of posing and group photos taking up the time we wanted to spend with our loved ones so Alice just captured the day how it was and the results are amazing, we will be forever grateful to Alice for framing all of our wonderful memories. I would absolutely recommend!
