Laura Calderwood Photography

We spoke to a number of photographers in depth before picking Laura as our photographer. Not only does she focus on the more 'candid' shots and natural joy of the big day, but she is also a fantastic listener and really takes the time to understand your wedding so that she gives you the service you want, and captures the most important elements to you.

In addition, Laura is just a lovely, bubbly, positive person and a wonderful addition to your wedding day. A true professional. Thanks Laura for capturing the memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

I love all the photos Laura took of my wedding. She really captured the details, the intimate moments and the bigger party atmosphere. Laura was very friendly and accommodating and had great ideas for how we could get the photos we wanted. I highly recommend!

As soon as I saw Laura's photo's on our venue's site, we instantly knew she would be our photographer. Laura is so professional, yet also feels like a friend. Her skills are amazing and the photo's are even better than we could have hoped for. We can't thank her enough!

We booked Laura for our wedding in November 2021 after seeing the photography she did for one of our friends' wedding a couple of years earlier. Her style is just incredible and after seeing our friends' photos, we knew we'd found our photographer too! Laura captures all the special moments of your day without you realising she's even there and the results are insane!

We have such amazing, natural photos, capturing the true happiness of our day, and all the emotional bits. She really put me and Dan at ease too because we didn't really know what we were doing for our individual and couple shots but Laura made it feel like we weren't posing at all. We now have some truly beautiful photos for us to treasure forever, and we can't wait to show our friends and family!

It didn't feel long at all while we were waiting for our full collection to come through, and she was honest about lead times and gave us a sneak peek too, which we loved so much, thank you Laura

A fantastic and professional photographer - so friendly, got all the shots we wanted and more besides, and was flexible with timings and prices (for a smaller wedding - 30 people), and all-round brilliant to have around for our special day. Well recommended!

We've had a few shoots with Laura and each have been amazing. She really puts you at ease and this gets amazing results. Her photos are brilliant. Even with current covid restrictions Laura follows all the guidelines and we felt safe, even doing a newborn shoot. I'd recommend anyone to book Laura and you'll get amazing photos in a safe setting. So glad we were still able to capture these precious moments despite everything going on. Thanks Laura!

Me and my new wife were lucky enough to get Laura to capture the most special day of our lives. I can honestly say not only is her craft at the top of the game, she is the nicest person too, we both truly feel honoured that she agreed to spend the day with us. We have now recieved all the photos from the wedding and every single one of them are incredible. Thanks Laura, an outstanding job

I found Laura through her Instagram page and immediately loved her style of photography. After some initial email correspondence, we arranged to meet up with her in Leeds for a drink and to have a look through some of her work, after which, my (now!) husband and I had no doubt that she would be the right photographer for our wedding day! Laura is completed chilled and has a great sense of humour which put us both at ease during the day.

She captured our day beautifully and we couldn't be happier with the results! We would highly recommend Laura! Thank you again for our beautiful wedding photos, Rachel and Fraser

We were lucky enough to have Laura capture our wedding day back in May and she really went above and beyond our expectations! Laura is not only incredibly talented but such a lovely person that it felt like having a friend take our photos on the day, which put us at ease and made us feel so relaxed! Her style of photography is beautiful and was. exactly what we had hoped for.

We are so thrilled with our photos (both engagement and wedding) that we haven't been able to stop looking over them, and we'll cherish them years to come! Thank you so much Laura!

Laura was our photographer for our wedding in December 2018. I cannot praise her and her work highly enough! The photographs of our day were really important to us, as they would help us to always remember and look back at the special moments. I am so so glad and thankful that I found Laura! From the moment I got in touch, Laura was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.

No question was too much or too silly! We arranged an engagement shoot and we had such a giggle and so much fun, she just made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and able to really be ourselves! On the day of our wedding, it was such a pleasure to have Laura there with us and share in the day. She was so professional and organised, whilst keeping us laughing and having lots of fun! Laura got involved in everything, nothing was too much trouble, even helping me out with my dress (a moment I'm sure Laura won't forget!) All my guests have commented on how amazing she was. Laura sent us our pictures in really good time and we are just completely stunned by how beautiful they are!

We are absolutely blown away by the shots she has captured (I think you must be a ninja Laura!) I can't stop looking at them! Laura has captured all the special moments of our day so brilliantly and each picture shows just how we were feeling! They really are so special and we can't thank Laura enough for all her hard work and amazingness. If you are looking for a photographer who will totally amaze you with her photos and who is a joy to have involved in your day, then please don't look any further. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone and we just can't tell you how happy we are that we chose her :-) Thank you, for everything! Emily and Tom Everett x

Laura recently photographed our wedding on Easter Sunday 2019. Laura is a wonderful person to be around and makes you feel comfortable from the get go. She listens and accommodates all your needs and is just the right amount of present on your big day without you feeling like there is a camera in your face, sneaking those candid moments you may. have missed because it all goes so fast.

We have received our preview images so far and are over the moon with the results and cannot wait to see the rest! We will treasure these images forever and would definitely recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer in the future. Thank you so much Laura.

Laura photographed our wedding in September and was simply amazing! From our pre-wedding photo shoot through to the wedding day itself, she caught amazing moments for which we'll be forever grateful. Throughout it all she offered lots of help and guidance, and made everything feel so natural. We felt comfortable in the knowledge that we were in safe hands. Furthermore, Laura's experience and professionalism allowed us to relax and enjoy the best day of our lives!

We also received lots of comments from our guests about how nice Laura was and how good she was at getting everyone into position which was no easy feat. The pictures recently came through and we are over the moon with them! Honestly we could not be more happier with Laura and the results. She's mega enthusiastic and we believe she genuinely loves what she does.

For anyone looking for a photographer to book for your big day (or any occasion) "snap" her up as you won't be disappointed. She did the most incredible job capturing our most cherished memories! Danielle and Michael Devanny - Bolton Abbey/Tithe Barn Wedding

I spent a very long time choosing a photographer; I looked through hundreds of photographers and their albums and Laura's work just stood out to us as being so consistently amazing throughout the whole day. We most certainly didn't regret choosing Laura. She was fantastic the entire day. Nothing was too much trouble. She worked extra hard to get the shots we particularly wanted and they're stunning.

I forgot she was even our photographer on the day, she helped out with everything and ensured everything went smoothly. We had lots of comments from guests as to how amazing Laura was. Thank you is not enough for how professional, talented and truly amazing Laura was for our wedding.

What can we say about Laura? Well, if you are looking for a photographer to capture the essence of your day perfectly, she's the one. Not only is she wonderful to work with, so relaxed and unobtrusive, the quality (and quantity) of her photographs are absolutely breathtaking. We got married at the Red Lion at Burnsall on a a beautiful autumnal. October day last year and we just couldn't be more delighted with our photographs.

She captured the relaxed informality and happiness of our day perfectly. We have so many beautiful photographs, we just don't know where to start to choose our top 100 for our album. We are working on it Laura! We can't thank her, or recommend her, highly enough. Five star photographer who loves her work and really takes the trouble to connect with the couple and take the shots that they want to remember the day. Thank you so much again Laura. Love Lizzie and Brendan xx

We've just recently received our wedding pictures and I can honestly say they are some of the most beautiful images I've seen. There is moments from the day I don't remember, but somehow Laura managed to capture them all and for that I will be forever grateful, these images remind me of one of the most special days and it was captured to perfection.

I would highly recommend Laura to anyone getting married, she is so personable, highly talented and all round just the loveliest person. As soon as I need a photographer, I know exactly where to come

A couple of years back Laura did our photos for our wedding day and from start of contact to finish she was professional, friendly and the quality of our photos were absolutely stunning. We decided to have some family photos with our 1 year old done recently and there was no else I wanted more to do them than Laura. He was very grumpy on the day. and did not want to have his photos taken. Laura was so patient and going out of her way to dance and sing and entertain him. She is such a warm person and I can not recommend her enough. Thank you again Laura x

It's turns out photography is really important to me, Laura made that happens, with her enthusiasm, spirit and brilliant ability to keep us all relaxed and enjoying it. I recommend Laura with every last breath (and we haven't even seen the photos yet). We got the genuine feeling that getting the right photo was of the up-most importance to her. Such a pleasure to watch a true professional loving her job.

If you want a photographer that actually cares what they are doing then give Laura a call. She was (and probably still is) amazing. So looking forward to seeing the shots. Thank you from the happiest of couples.

I just want to say the biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Laura! She was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer! Right from the get-go, she was just so lovely and friendly and as soon as we met up with her, we knew we wanted her to be part of our big day. We had an engagement shoot, which she was happy to hold on a. Friday evening and the pictures were fabulous!

She organised a second photographer for us for the day, and just made everything easy for us - which is exactly what you need when you're planning a wedding! On the day, I didn't even know Laura was snapping away half the time - very stealthy! And our wedding preview pictures were sent to us two weeks after the wedding, and the full album sent two weeks after that.

To say we're ridiculously thrilled with our pictures is the biggest understatement! We couldn't have wished for anything better and we'll always be grateful! If we could give you more than 5 stars, we would! THANK YOU!

It seems unfair that this only goes up to 5 stars because Laura has been absolutely outstanding - 10 stars would be more appropriate. From the moment we contacted her about possibly doing our wedding, until the big day and beyond, she has been wonderful. She is always prompt with replying to emails and answering any queries we have, and pictures. from both our engagement shoot and the wedding itself have been ready quickly. Speaking of which, the pictures are incredible. We would recommend her to everyone and would love her to photograph for us in the future. Thank you so, so much Laura. Hannah and Kiran x

Laura has been part of our wedding day from the minute we booked the venue. Her style and talent of capturing such beautiful moments have allowed us to remember ever step of our day. Each photo was taken with such care and emotion! We cannot thank Laura enough for helping make our wedding so perfect and magical. Throughout the day Laura was so discrete and captured every photo I could have ever wanted. Highly recommended if you are wanting a 5* service! xx

Laura was a total joy to work with and we could not be happier that we chose her as our wedding photographer. Her natural and romantic style captured the most beautiful photos of memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much Laura

Laura was absolutely fabulous throughout our entire wedding. From the engagement photos to the day itself. It wasn’t just the quality of Laura’s photographs which made our choice such a perfect one, it was her soft, calm, relaxed and gentle manner throughout the whole experience which also made her the perfect choice. All of Laura’s little surprises along the way were added bonuses and totally unexpected.

The way she presented the photos when the memory stick arrived and the little extras in the box were just a joy to receive. It almost goes without saying that Laura’s photographs hugely exceeded our expectations. The combination of posed family photographs and informal snapshots were brilliant. We had total trust in Laura right from the start. As soon we met Laura she totally understood what we were looking for and she made it happen. We just couldn’t have made a better choice!

Laura is absolutely amazing!!!! She really was the perfect choice for our wedding photographs. Laura came to meet us at our home and we knew from that first meeting that we wanted her. She showed us her amazing work and got to know us as people. The engagement shoot was fantastic and was invaluable as it showed us what it would be like on the day.

Plus the pictures were absolutely stunning.
Laura's style on the day is exactly how it should be from a wedding photographer! I have been to some weddings where the photographer commanded the whole day. This was not Laura! So many of guests commented on how discrete she was yet also how friendly and kind she was. She really does capture all the perfect moments that need to be captured, ones that you as the bride and groom don't get to see.

Then you get the pictures and ... WOW! We've had so many lovely comments and I can't stop looking at them. The presentation box is perfect and such a lovely gift at the end.
Laura is worth every penny and you would be mad not to choose her!! We will definitely be using her for all future photography. Thanks again Laura, you are a superstar!

We booked Laura to be our photographer while travelling in Australia, which meant that we had a Skype call to get to know her. From that call to the pre wedding shoot to the wedding day Laura has been amazing! Nothing was too much trouble including starting at 7.30am and Laura was still snapping away at 9pm! Our photos came thorough last week (less than 6 weeks since our wedding) which was fab as I was so impatient and they are absolutely perfect.

She couldn't of captured our wedding any better! Most of our photos were natural shots just as we wanted but reflected the whole day perfectly. I couldn't recommend you enough, thank you so much again.

Laura is awesome! She photographed our wedding a few years ago and I would highly recommend her. Present but not intrusive, fun but professional, commanding but not bossy. Our final collection of images capture our day perfectly....all the little details, the events of the day as they unfolded, the emotion, our guests and even moments that myself and my husband missed on the day! All in all, she's a great photographer and a lovely person :-)

Laura took some photos of my newborn and older children in our home. She was very professional and patient with our baby who wouldn't settle to sleep. Laura took some beautiful photographs for us that we will treasure for years to come. I would definitely recommend Laura for newborn/ family photo shoots.

Laura goes above and beyond to make sure you feel relaxed on your big day and her photography never feels intrusive. Pete and I both commented after our wedding how she was not only our photographer, but it felt as though she was a friend we'd known for years.... from helping me with my dress to providing Pete with some tissues before the ceremony, Laura was there for us both. We would not hesitate to book her again for any family event, an absolute star!
