Leeds Wedding Photographer
I’ve been photographing weddings in Yorkshire for a number years, which has led me to visit many venues in Leeds.
I’ve put together a list of popular wedding venues in the Leeds area with a summary of what they can offer. I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have such as which venues are great for luxury weddings, which are suitable for a large wedding party and which have the best outdoor spaces. Please get in touch using the contact form if you would like more information on any of the Leeds wedding venues.
My wedding blog is full of real weddings, highlighting my natural photography style at a variety of wedding venues throughout Yorkshire. You can see my current wedding packages and more of my work on my wedding page.

Charlotte was the best photographer we could’ve wished for! She was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire day and gave us so much guidance and support. Our images are stunning! She captured some fantastic memories for us to keep forever. Thank you Charlotte!Aimee F.29/03/2022- We cannot recommend Charlotte enough. We had spoken to a number of photographers while looking but none filled us with confidence in the way Charlotte did immediately. She was extremely responsive throughout our communications and very thorough in all that she did. It was clear to us that she is passionate about getting everything right and clearly has the customer in mind at all times. On the day, Charlotte went above and beyond. Our pictures are beautiful and she coordinated everyone perfectly. Even our guests commented on how good she was. It made our day even more special to have Charlotte as our photographer.Charlie D.29/09/2021
- Charlotte did a wonderful job photographing our wedding recently. From the moment we initially contacted her, she was so helpful and responsive to emails. The pre-wedding shoot was a great opportunity to discuss the sort of photos we wanted on the day and certainly made us more comfortable in front of the camera on the big day. On the day itself Charlotte was a fab person to have around. She went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly and was a calming and supportive presence whilst my wife-to-be was getting ready. All of our guests commented how lovely she was and how good she was with children. The photos themselves are just what we hoped for. They certainly capture the overall feel of the day perfectly, and are not too staged or formal. For two people who are generally a bit awkward in front of the camera, we couldn’t be happier with the natural photos she captured. Thanks again Charlotte.Thomas O.29/05/2021
- We had Charlotte photograph our wedding in September 19. My husband and I aren’t ones to pose for photos, we don’t particularly like our photo being taken so we wanted someone fairly laid back like us, not regimented or bossy and someone that could take more natural photos than posey ones and Charlotte was perfect, she did an amazing job. We also didn’t want to spend hours having our photo taken on the day and missing out on time with our guests but still wanted to make sure we got some good photos on our own, we was worried what the photos on our own would turn out like not being that photogenic, but we was really happy when we saw them, all the photos were exactly what we wanted. Everything we discussed in our meeting before the wedding, Charlotte delivered 100%. She went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly, even helping me get into my dress before the ceremony. A lot of our guests commented on how good and lovely Charlotte was and how good she was with the little ones. We couldn’t have asked for anything more or anyone better for our day.Jade B.29/03/2020

- Charlotte is a great photographer. She did a wonderful job of capturing many beautiful images for our wedding. She was also extremely helpful throughout the whole process. From the pre-wedding run down and practice shoot right up until the last snap of the night. On the day Charlotte was efficient and friendly, she made the whole process of being photographed a pleasure. We felt Charlotte had the perfect balance of professionalism and casual confidence, exactly what we needed for our wedding. We highly recommend!Michael L.22/12/2018
- Charlotte was our wedding photographer in October this year and I could not recommend her enough.She is a fantastic person to work with and guided us through all the options and possibilities before hand but was completely comfortable to do what we wanted.On the day itself, Charlotte was an absolute star and was a joy to be around, making everyone feel comfortable which has resulted in some fantastic group and casual pictures.The images (received after only 6 weeks) are beautiful, poignant and funny. They will be treasured and we really could not have asked for more.Andrew H.22/11/2018
