About

At Heatherwood Photography, I create wedding photography that’s as unique as you are. Based in the North of England, I cover Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and West Yorkshire, and I’m always happy to travel further for couples who want something different.

My style is all about bold colour, creative edits, and storytelling with edge. Forget stiff, awkward posing. I focus on real connections, raw energy, and the details that make your day truly yours. From city elopements to wild countryside celebrations, from intimate LGBTQ+ weddings to big parties filled with tattoos, rock music, and laughter — I’ll be there, camera in hand, capturing the story as it unfolds.

I started in sports and adventure photography. That background means I’m quick to react, experienced at catching action in the moment, and tuned in to authentic scenes that never feel staged. It’s why I love photographing couples running out of the registry office, dancing under neon lights, or stealing away for a quiet walk together.

What makes Heatherwood Photography different?

  • Alternative wedding photography: modern, creative, and real.

  • Inclusive approach: passionate about photographing LGBTQ+ weddings, women-led stories, and celebrations that don’t follow tradition.

  • Bold, story-driven edits: a gallery that feels truly personal.

  • Calm & supportive presence: from morning nerves to the late-night dancefloor.

Your wedding deserves photography that reflects your personality. Not just another set of pretty pictures, but images that tell a story filled with energy, honesty, and style.

  • LGBTQ+-owned
  • Woman-owned
