Traditionally speaking, often times it is the couple’s families who help pay for their wedding. However, unfortunately that’s just not possible for everyone, especially these days when the cost of weddings can quickly and easily get out of control. Some couples find themselves in the position of paying for all of their own wedding expenses, which can be quite the financial burden to take on, and about 40% of Millennials end up in this boat. So, how can you stick to your allotted...Read more

I started an interest in photography whilst very young. My curiosity came from my father and developed into a full blown passion by my teens. Experimenting with 35mm and medium format film cameras I developed an understanding of the basics. Locked for hours in my fathers adapted dark room (our family bathroom) I produced my first black and white photographs and from there turned a hobby into a lifestyle and a profession. I worked for a studio and built up professionally gained knowledge and creative technique. Moving away from the studio opened a different, creative streak and my passion became involved in reality and people. I still enjoy the creative opportunities involved with portraiture and blending people with their passions into creative images but really, being on the periphery and capturing moments that could never truly be recreated started me down the road of wedding photojournalism. The skills I have learned and that I continuously develop see me enjoying every wedding as both a creative challenge and an opportunity to produce visual memories.

Hi, I am Janina… the one behind the camera… you might want to know me a little bit before you invite me to photograph your big day! I am a proud Mummy of two amazing children Michael and Grace. Those two keep me very fit! I have been married to my best friend John since 2010. Family means everything to me and we love spending time together hiking, travelling and camping. I am a morning person and often I will get up at 5 am just to enjoy good coffee and early morning is the perfect time to do that. I love an outdoor lifestyle! Long walks and campfires are right up my street! I love animals, Freeman-our dog is a huge part of our family! I’ve grown up in a home where all forms of art were greatly appreciated. My Grandma still owns an art gallery. Photography has always been my hobby and passion! I speak Italian and Polish thanks to my family's bloodlines! I like pizza, cheese, gin, pizza, cheese, pizza (did I mention that I like pizza?) I also like holidays, driving, reading and obviously I love PHOTOGRAPHY! A good night out with friends is a must now and again! I love travelling and meeting new people. I also always find time to go to the theatre to see a good show. My music choices are all over place….from Nirvana, The Beatles and ACDC(thanks to my dad) to Little Mix Olly Murs and Rita Ora. Funny I know! Something weird about me – I don’t like chocolate!

Dom began York Place Studios at the tender age of 21 along with elder brother Liam. With her film photography background and fine art influences, she entered the world of weddings with the idea of doing things a little differently and in doing so created the founding principles of the York Place Style. Her passion, bubbly personality, and sense of romance puts emotion at the centre of her imagery. [London Wedding Photographer]

As a wedding photojournalist I aim to capture the story and emotion of the day, in a vibrant and fun way. I am based in Hornsea, East Yorkshire, and have photographed weddings in this area but also throughout the UK. While I am primarily a wedding photographer I have covered events, festivals and studio work, but wedding photography is where my heart is. I worked as a second shooter for another wedding photographer for several years, whose style was very much traditional and each wedding had the same structure. It soon dawned on me that I much preferred to capture the little moments, the love and laughter and pure emotion of the day rather than a set photography list. My biggest achievement in photography was having one my photos exhibited in the Netherlands. The photo was of my son standing in a pool of water looking out to sea. My son is autistic, so to capture him in a moment of peace was quite rare. He's my real inspiration in life, no matter the obstacle he will tackle it the best he can.

I love photographing people's stories; the real and the honest. Capturing life in all its glory is what photography is all about for me. We all have our own unique lives and being able to catch a glimpse of that - especially on a day as important as your wedding day - is one of the many wonderful things about what I do. I studied Media at university with a view to working in film. Movies are all about stories and that appealed to me. I never did break into the industry though; something far more magical caught my eye. Many of the skills and techniques I learned in film have been transferred into my wedding reportage work, and I like to think that my imagery has a certain cinematic feel to it. One of my friends got married straight out of university, and they asked me to shoot their wedding because they loved my movie work so much. I was familiar with stills photography as my father had always been a keen amateur, so I gave it a go and I fell in love. That was back in 2004, and since then I have fallen in love with wedding photography again and again. I love to travel and I'm happy to travel anywhere in the world to shoot a wedding.

Oftentimes when people are considering a venue for their weddings, they search for a location away from home, whether that be ten minutes or ten hours, all just to find what they already have: a place that holds meaning for them, that feels comfortable, or that they find special and memorable. But what could hold more memory, meaning, and importance than your own home? For those looking for that perfect venue, it may not be any further than beyond your threshold.Read more
Everyone always says that your wedding day is all about you. But let’s face it; that’s not always actually the case. Many couples stress over guest lists, planning, expenses, and all the frills and traditions of your standard large wedding that they may or may not even be interested in. Fortunately, though, the concept of small weddings is becoming increasingly popular for couples who either want to be able to completely customize their day where and when they want with the option...Read more

Some couples, as they begin planning for their weddings, might think that they are limited to the classic locations: churches, gardens, beaches, or even Las Vegas. But in doing so they’re missing out on a multitude of unique options that might suit their personalities much better! Why limit yourself to a quiet, quaint ceremony when your adventurous heart may be calling out for something more?

We all know that the economy can go through some hard times, and be somewhat reminiscent of past recessions. However, as people cut back on non-essential little luxuries here and there, one constant remains: weddings. People don’t tend to just stop getting married due to a poor economy, nor should they! So, in an industry that keeps on going through thick and thin, what are some things to expect for the future, and what is really necessary to still make that wedding day memorable and...Read more

Hi Graham We just wanted to send you a few kind words regarding our wedding day. There are not enough words to describe your brilliance over the wedding day itself and the planning build up. You went out of your way to make sure our special day was perfect. You didn't just take your photographs but became part of our family. You blended in with effortless ease over the few days and it was our pleasure to know you. Your attention to detail is second to none. You took the shots that make people say "WOW.......Did I really do that!!"... and the memories flood back. All of our family and friends have commented on how they enjoyed your countless humorous comments in helping relax them for the photos. To finish I want to reccomend you to anyone thinking of getting married. You will take them on an emotional journey where they will laugh, cry and most of all smile their way to the altar. Kind Regards and forever grateful Tracey and Barry

Hi Erika. Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to take the time to write to you and thank you for the enormous role you played on our wedding day. Words don’t seem to quite cover how we feel, but I will give it a go! We weren’t sure what to expect when booking a photographer- we both hated the idea of having a camera shoved in our face all day, posing and saying cheese. As you know, this is why we chose you and felt confident with your refreshing view to photography after we met for the first time. On the day, you were totally true to your word. You managed to capture it all, with great professionalism but unobtrusively. But for me personally, I want to say that I am so grateful for the support you showed me throughout. You kept me calm and helped me get the most from the day. I know, from the few images you showed us on the day, that I will (for once in my life!) like pictures of myself because you have captured our personality more than just how we look. Erika- quite honestly, you were a guest at our wedding first and photographer second. You were a fantastic asset to us and everything you did to look after us both during the day was so greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much. Our family and friends commented on you lots also and they totally echo our sentiments. So yeah....I think it’s important to say all these things to you, because yes- we have paid for a service. But what we got in return was an amazing extra wedding guest, a great friend and a fantastic support. Thank you
