Hello.
'I'm a lifelong fine art photographer who just happens to love shooting weddings'
"A natural talent who delivers exactly what the client requests"
About me
Choosing a photographer, it's a minefield out there!
Let's make it simpler
Some bare naked essentials about me
Whilst your time is taken up planning every detail, I beg you to choose a photographer who loves the art of the process, capturing everything from passion to humour, from romance to outrageous behaviour.
Those unexpected moments you missed, its all in there.
Style is personal
Your photographer is personal, and the quality of your wedding album really does matter.
Given the years that fly by so fast, coupled with that unavoidable memory loss, with time, its all we really have left.
For me, its so important your photographer captures more than the expected, but the smells, sounds, and beautiful chaos of the entire day.
Why choose me?
I don't overbook wedding after wedding
You have as much time as you need from me, and the quality of my work doesn't suffer.
I'm not just a wedding photographer, and you're not just another job.
I didn't pick up a camera a few years ago to make money shooting weddings. I'm a lifelong photographer, portrait artist, and lens fanatic who happens to love shooting weddings (who wouldn't?!)
I've been shooting since the dark room days, specialised in fine art portraits, and consider your day just as important as the day I took home a 1st class Photography degree, and I haven't stopped shooting since!
The art of Photography is in my blood, my creative bones, no matter what I am capturing.
I'm not alone! I have a small army
I have a support network of 2 other highly experienced photographers who co-founded our photography studio in North Yorkshire
(both available as 2nd and 3rd photographers)
I listen to couples as individuals, I don't dictate.
You may prefer 100% reportage style, you might prefer a mix of light direction, using creative trends to capture that awesome image!
I have experience in both worlds and plenty of tricks and ideas to offer you whether your wedding style is classic and timeless, or breaking down traditions with a vibrant and free-spirit.
For your security
In the unlikely event that something happens to me before the day (hasn't yet), I have two experienced photographers who will step in, in an emergency.
So potential last minute panic to find a high quality experienced photographer when all the best are booked up, isn't going to be your problem.
"The photos were out of this world and everything we wanted"
I'm not afraid to get involved, climb on the van for group shots or interact with your guests on the dance floor.
I also have a few tricks up my sleeve to create those extra magic moments for those unique portrait opportunities.
Choosing your photographer is personal, you are sharing one of the most intimate occasions with a complete stranger after all.
You have the opportunity to meet me and get comfortable in front of the lens.
Around 80% of people are camera shy, so its important to get to know a little about you, and where possible, get talking to the lens with confidence.
For this reason, I offer complimentary pre-shoots with every booking where locality permits.

Testimonials
"As we had both been married before, we chose Natasha mainly for the candid shots we had seen, as we wanted a laid back, chilled approach, not too formal.
Also we were able to go for the half day, knowing total flexibility on the day and if needed longer Natasha was more then happy to stay at an additional hourly fee if needed.
We chatted via text/email initially then via phone and felt comfortable from the get go. Nothing has been too much trouble, she will go above and beyond to ensure she captures your day as requested. Very prompt and 1st class after service also. Plenty pictures in both colour and Black and White for choice too. Amazing!"
The Light Room is a studio experience with a difference co-founded by 3 experienced photographers.
A beautiful space with cutting edge lighting, and plenty of room to relax.

THIS IS
ME
As shot by Nick Lancaster (left) looking pensive and wearing questionable fashion choices (the cliché artist).
Ironically, I'm very approachable, relaxed in manner, and a highly sociable character smiling wildly from ear to ear whilst shooting non-stop.
I also come with an unfathomable amount of energy that's riding on the excitement of being fully immersed in a series of incredibly beautiful and irresistible moments.
And, all in my favourite creative playground that is your day.
"Nothing has been too much trouble, she will go above and beyond to ensure she captures your day as requested"
Whatever your venue you can guarantee I will consider climbing on the roof to get that extra special shot.
I'm totally invested in capturing the best images of the day I won't be leaving on the hour, and I will make your guests feel as at ease with me as you do.
It's not unusual to forget I'm there, I move quickly, interacting lightly, but generously.
I'll be checking in regularly and briefly with you, never disappearing from sight for long.

"I was looking for a photographer who told a story with not too many formal shots. Natasha was so flexible with any suggestions and with the final photos giving you all the images which allows you to make choices yourself.
I loved the unedited, totally raw shots and the whole package.
Natasha delivered what I asked for creating some fabulous memories."
Testimonials
Natasha was brilliant from the first point of contact on Hitched right until even after we received our photos!
She was patient, honest and so kind throughout the whole experience and all our guest said the same thing.
The photos we received (online gallery and on a usb) were out of this world and everything we wanted from our special day. Highly recommend!

I'm a real portrait artist and storyteller, who enjoys making the unconventional, beautiful!
Honestly, my style is often unconventional, almost always energetic, whilst I lean more towards capturing the rawness, humour, and compassion that oozes out, with a little less cliché.
Think big expressions, unscripted moments with abstract composition, creatively intimate, timeless and bold.
I began inspired by early 20th century street photography during the dark room days, and haven't stopped shooting ever since!
I approached Natasha to photograph my wedding day, having seen some of her work and she had been recommended as a local photographer.
I was unsure what I actually wanted other than I wanted as many natural shots as possible and plenty of pictures capturing the magic of the day. Natasha certainly delivered. Her unique eye and attention to detail meant that every important part has been retained in phographic history and allowed me to look back and remember it all like it was yesterday.
Natasha blended in, she mixed in to the wedding party and it was difficult to remember she was there. She managed to capture moments that otherwise I'd have missed during the busy day.
I would recommend her for any photography needs, a natural talent who delivers exactly what the client requests. Thank you so much x
