Laura Calderwood Photography

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Menston, near Ilkley. I live with my lovely husband Jamie, our baby daughter Rose, and of course our goldfish, Cornelius!

I only realised when I got married quite how much I LOVE weddings! The excitement and anticipation as the bride gets ready; the look on the grooms face when he first sees his bride; the joy, laughter, and sometimes tears, of the wedding ceremony. And of course all the little details that represent months of planning, and which make your wedding unique – the rings, the flowers, the cake, the shoes, THE DRESS! In fact I will probably be as excited as you are! My job on your special day is to capture all of these things and more so that every moment is remembered. And I consider it an absolute privilege to be welcomed into a family and to be able to be part of such an incredible day.

I love to create beautiful, timeless images that focus on each couple and their emotions. My photographs are not overly posed, but instead I offer light direction to help you look your very best. I capture emotions and memories as you experience them. I’m passionate about elegance and romance. And flowers!

Although I’m based near Ilkley I cover all of Yorkshire and frequently work in Leeds, Harrogate, York, Wetherby, and Ripon. In fact I’m happy to travel anywhere for weddings!
