I’m Kyle, a northerner with a cheesy grin who would love to bring my creative eye to your special day. From ceremonies in medieval barns lit with twinkling fairy lights to funky festivals in farmer’s fields, I’ve been shooting unique weddings around the UK now for six years, working with over one hundred fantastic couples – many of whom I’m proud to now call friends.
My approach to photography is natural, with a documentary touch that captures the unique story of your day as it unfolds. Above all, I want my couples to feel completely at ease, so they can savour every magical moment of their wedding day.
I usually photograph full-day weddings at Bartle Hall. I start capturing photos during the morning preparations, until late. As your wedding photographer, I’ll be there to capture all the special moments you don’t see while you’re enjoying your day.
There are some beautiful places to take couples for portraits at Bartle Hall, Take the time to check out some of my favourite places I would consider for portraits.
Portrait 1
In a hidden spot just behind the Coaching Barn, there’s a small opening in the corner of the lawn through a gate. If you’re up for something a bit different, this spot is perfect, with natural light shining down through the trees.
Portrait 2
The Country House is the perfect backdrop, with its well-maintained gardens and woodlands creating lovely portrait opportunities. This is one of my favorite places to capture a portrait.
Portrait 3
A walk around the grounds of Bartle Hall is a wonderful way to take a moment for yourselves and soak it all in. It’s also a perfect opportunity for me to capture some candid shots of you both, enjoying a quiet moment together as you stroll through the private gardens and woodland.

Nestled within the woodland, I like to take you among the trees. This area is typically well maintained, helping to keep your wedding dress dry and clean. Surrounded by leaves and trees, it truly is a stunning location.

There’s always time to have some fun with your bridesmaids! One photo I love to capture is when the bridesmaids lift the groom. It always ends up in bursts of laughter.
How will we receive our photos?
Your images will be delivered through an online secure gallery, enabling you to share them with friends and family without any watermarks. There is no limit to the number of high-resolution images you can download. Furthermore, the gallery offers the option to order prints directly from the platform.
Do I have to order prints through you?
I highly recommend ordering prints through a professional photography lab. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so I’m happy to point you in the right direction if this is something you want.
Do you bring a second photographer?
Whether you choose to hire a second photographer is a personal decision. I frequently photograph weddings solo, and I am confident in my ability to capture the majority of typical wedding days on my own. However, there are certainly advantages to having two photographers.
How do I secure a date?
A £200 booking fee & signed contract is required in order to secure your wedding in the calendar. The remainder of your balance is due 1 month before your Wedding!
When can we expect our photos to be ready?
Photos are normally delivered within 2-3 weeks depending on the time of year! In summer it may take slightly longer but you won’t be waiting long! 10 preview photos are sent to you a few days after your Wedding Day!
