From an early age.....
I have always loved photography and remember being the only child with a camera on my school trip to Chester Zoo at the age of 8, pestering the teacher to wait by the tigers for a bit longer until I got the shot I wanted. I think it's in the blood.....
My Grandfather was a freelance photo journalist and both he and my Dad were keen hobby photographers. They both drove us al

l mad with their constant requests to "pose like this" and "look into the camera" which may be part of the reason why I find myself so much more at home behind the camera than in front of it. Here I am now, asking the same of my children.It wasn't long before I was spending hours on end in my dad's dark room learning everything I could. I have a passion....
for capturing those wonderful, heart warming moments and preserving them to be enjoyed over again instead of so easily being lost or forgotten. I often sit and look back at my own photographs with fondness. This drives me on to be the best photographer I can be and to preserve your memories for you. It is such a special honour....
to be invited to share in your special family moments. I love getting to know families and capturing them in photos as they grow and change.

Why I ALWAYS arrive early to a wedding dayโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s not because Iโ€™m worried about being late ๐Ÿ˜‚

I love arriving with plenty of time because those first few minutes set the tone for the whole day. It gives me chance to say hello, get to know everyone, have a little look around the venue and start capturing all those details youโ€™ve spent months choosing before everything gets super busy.

I also never want you to feel rushed!

Wedding mornings already have enough going on. The last thing you need is your photographer flying through the door, camera in hand and adding to the chaos!

I want you to feel like you can relax, enjoy getting ready with your favourite people and almost forget Iโ€™m there.

And quite often, itโ€™s in that extra time that I capture some of my favourite photographsโ€ฆthe little interactions, the excitement building and those lovely in-between moments that you simply canโ€™t recreate later.

So yesโ€ฆIโ€™ll probably be early ๐Ÿ˜

Itโ€™s all part of making sure your photography feels relaxed from the very beginning. If youโ€™re planning your wedding and looking for a photographer who will help you feel relaxed from the moment I arrive pop me a message Iโ€™d love to hear from you.

Sneak peeks from another brilliant wedding at The Normans Wedding Venue for Stephen & Samantha ๐Ÿค

There were SO many thoughtful little touches that made this day completely unique and I loved capturing every single one.

A beautiful bespoke bouquet ribbon and of course, a bagpiper! There was so much personality woven through the whole day.

A huge shoutout to all the brilliant suppliers who helped bring Stephen & Samanthaโ€™s day together:

โ€œWish I could give 10 stars !! Lisa is the BEST - you are in the safest of hands with her ! She made us feel so relaxed and at ease right from our first meeting, and brought so much fun to the entire process. Our photos came out absolutely amazing - we were over the moon with them and so many people have said how fantastic they are. Weโ€™ll treasure them forever. Lisa also went above and beyond to get us our photos in time for Christmas which we were so grateful for. The loveliest person and the best photographer!โ€œ

Iโ€™m Lisa, an award-winning wedding photographer from West Yorkshire ๐Ÿค

I live with my husband, two kids and my black lab Finn and Iโ€™ve spent years photographing weddings and families across Yorkshire.

Photography runs in my family my grandad was a freelance photographer, my dadโ€™s always been a keen one, so I guess it really is in the blood!

Iโ€™m not just here for the photos think of me as your extra bridesmaid for the day, there to keep things running smoothly and having a laugh along the way.

New here? Say hi below ๐Ÿ‘‹

Golden hour is my favourite! Just the two of you and a few minutes away from the party. The light is just perfect and you finally get a moment to just look at each other as a married couple. If your venue has a good sunset spot, we WILL be using it ๐Ÿค

Who says bridal prep photos have to be taken on your wedding morning? ๐Ÿค

A pre-wedding bridal bo***ir shoot is the perfect way to capture this exciting chapter without the time pressures of the big day.

Take your time. Get glammed up. Wear your bridal lingerie, veil or favourite oversized shirt.

Celebrate yourself before you become someoneโ€™s wife.

Not only will you leave with beautiful, timeless images, but youโ€™ll also walk away feeling confident, empowered and ready for everything your wedding day has in store.

And if you choose to gift the images to your partnerโ€ฆ I can guarantee theyโ€™ll be a wedding present they wonโ€™t forget. ๐Ÿค
