Hi, I'm Naomi, a documentary wedding photographer based in York. I photograph weddings on analogue film and digital, the way they actually happen: the nervous laugh before the ceremony, your nan on the dance floor, the pub after.

I don't do stiff group lines or hours of posing. My style is relaxed and documentary, so you can enjoy your day while I quietly get the real moments. It suits couples who'd rather have a registry office and a pub than a ballroom, who care more about character than perfection, and who want a photographer who feels like one of the guests.

I started out on my dad's old film cameras, and every wedding I photograph includes 3 rolls of 35mm film. Film gives you grain, real colour and photos that look like memories, not adverts.

I cover weddings across York, North Yorkshire and the rest of Yorkshire, from York Register Office to village halls, pubs, barns and the coast.
