Hi, I'm Fern
I’m a West Yorkshire-based Wedding Photographer covering Leeds, Bradford, York, Harrogate, Ilkley and beyond!
Not every couple loves the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean their love story deserves anything less than stunning photos. I work with down-to-earth people, often a little camera-shy , who just want their day captured naturally.
Couples always tell me the same thing:
“It felt like having a friend there - not a photographer.”
That’s exactly how I want it to feel.
I take a calm, gentle approach, never intrusive, never staged, so you can relax, be yourselves, and enjoy every moment of your wedding while I quietly capture every detail.
My approach to Wedding photography
Gentle, observant & intuitive
I’m not the shouty, high-energy type, and I won’t whisk you away from your guests for hours. My approach is gentle, observant, and intuitive, I blend in like a guest, quietly capturing the moments that matter most.
I care just as much about how you feel on your wedding day as I do about the photos you’ll have afterwards. I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and totally comfortable, because that’s when the most beautiful, honest moments happen.
"Fern is amazing, so lovely and positive and incredibly good at what she does, constantly put my mind at ease and no request was too small for her! Truly did go above and beyond!"
“We asked Fern to be our wedding photographer after finding her on Instagram, and am SO thankful we did!”
“Fern is amazing, so lovely and positive and incredibly good at what she does, constantly put my mind at ease and no request was too small for her! Truly did go above and beyond!”
“We had a small barn wedding in the Yorkshire Dales. We’ve only seen the preview photos which are absolutely beautiful and has done the venue (and us!) so much justice. We’re so excited to see more!”
“Thank you again Fern for capturing our day, you were absolutely fabulous and would 100% recommend to anybody in West Yorkshire looking for a wedding photographer!”

Wedding Photography
Your wedding day is filled with moments that matter – the laughter, the quiet glances, the moments that take your breath away. And my job? To capture all of it, effortlessly.
I take a relaxed, storytelling approach to your day, blending in like a friend with a camera. No awkward posing, no stiff smiles. Just real moments, beautifully documented, exactly as they happen.
Whether you’re looking for full-day coverage from the morning prep to the first dance, or something more intimate for key moments, I’ve got flexible packages to suit your needs.
Yorkshire wedding venues I love
I’ve had the pleasure of photographing so many beautiful weddings across West Yorkshire & North Yorkshire. From romantic churches to rustic barns to intimate registry office weddings, I’ve photographed weddings all over Yorkshire.
I’ve shot beautiful weddings at Wood Hall Hotel & Spa in Wetherby, a dreamy countryside retreat with classic charm, and at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds, a stunning boutique venue with gorgeous gardens. If you love a relaxed, rustic vibe, Chilli Barn in Otley is a little gem, surrounded by lush greenery and perfect for intimate weddings (and for golden hour photos!).
For couples looking for something a little different, The Venue at Bowers Mill in Halifax is full of industrial charm, offering a unique backdrop with exposed brick and original features. And if a historic setting is more your style, East Riddlesden Hall in Keighley is a breathtaking National Trust venue with beautiful gardens and a romantic, timeless feel.
Wherever you choose to tie the knot, I’d love to be there to capture every moment! If you’re looking for a Leeds wedding photographer or planning a wedding anywhere in West Yorkshire, let’s chat – I’d love to hear all about your plans!

Frequently Asked Questions
When will we receive our wedding photos?
Within a few days of your wedding, I’ll send over a sneak peek of 20-30 preview images – perfect for sharing with family and friends while you soak in the newlywed bliss! Then, I carefully edit your full gallery, which will be ready within 6-8 weeks. Your final collection will be delivered via a private, password-protected online gallery, making it easy to relive your special day again and again. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!
How many images will we receive?
I don’t put a cap on the number of photos, but you’ll get a gorgeous collection that really captures the feel of your day. For a full-day wedding, that usually means around 500-800 fully edited images-plenty to relive all the big moments and little details!
Where do you cover?
I’m a West Yorkshire wedding photographer, and I regularly cover weddings in Leeds, Harrogate, York, and beyond! Whether you’re getting married in a rustic barn, a grand manor, or an intimate city venue, I’m happy to travel to capture your special day.
What if you’re ill on our wedding day?
I totally get why this might be a worry, but in 5+ years of shooting weddings, I’ve never had to miss a single one. Of course, life is unpredictable, but it would take something really serious for me not to be there.
If that ever happened, I’d make sure you’re in safe hands by finding a trusted photographer with a similar style who fits your vibe. And don’t worry, after the wedding, I’d still edit all your photos to make sure they have my signature look.
Do you travel outside of West Yorkshire?
Absolutely! While I’m based in Leeds as a wedding photographer, I love to explore new venues across the UK (and even beyond!). If you’re planning a celebration outside of Yorkshire, let’s chat – I’d love to be part of your adventure.
Do you offer engagement shoots?
Yes! Engagement shoots are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. They’re also perfect for capturing some relaxed, natural photos of you both -whether it’s in the Yorkshire countryside, a favourite city spot, or even at home with a cup of tea.
How do we book you?
Booking is simple! Get in touch via my contact form, and we’ll arrange a chat to go over your plans. A signed contract and a deposit secure your date, and then we’re all set!
Can we see what some of your previous couples have said?
