About Me
Wakefield Wedding Photographer, Ross Wilson
Unposed, honest Wakefield wedding photography
I focus on natural, unposed wedding photography that captures your day as it actually happens, not as a series of staged shots. Whether you’re getting married in Wakefield itself or at a favourite venue further afield in Leeds, Pontefract, or Castleford, my approach stays the same: blend into the background, stay out of the way, and document every moment that matters — the nerves before the ceremony, the vows, the speeches, the dancing.
Every wedding package includes a full colour gallery alongside a Timeless Black & White edit, so you get both looks from every moment I capture.

Included With Every Package
Whichever package you choose, you’ll always receive over 800 images across 3 individual styles:

- A full, unedited selection of approx. 500 images
- A Wild Things edit
- Timeless Black & White edit
- Bedford 1940’s edit

Timeless Black & White
A classic monochrome edit that strips everything back to light, shadow, and emotion — the shots that never date.

Standard Unedited
Your full gallery in natural colour, straight from the day — every shot, untouched.

Wild Thing
A bold, characterful edit with rich, punchy colour — for the moments with a bit of personality and flair.

Bedford 1940
A vintage-inspired edit with a warm, faded tone, giving your photos a timeless, old-world character.
BOOK YOUR VENUE
This is always the first step. Once your venue is confirmed and you have a date locked in, you’re ready to move on to securing your photographer — the sooner this is done, the more choice you’ll have.
CHECK AVAILABILITY
Send me your date and venue and I’ll confirm straight away whether I’m free. It’s a quick, no-obligation first step — just get in touch and I’ll come back to you fast.
MEET 4 WEEKS BEFORE
About a month out from your wedding, we’ll sit down together to go through timings, your venue, and anything specific you’d like covered on the day. This means everything’s planned in advance and there are no surprises when the day arrives.
What my clients say about me

“Ross was amazing on our wedding day” — he arrived an hour early and stayed until the very end. Nothing was too much trouble, and he’s reasonably priced. 100% recommended.
Laura Jayne Hanley
“I would 100% recommend Ross.” Their guests thought he was fantastic — he listened to what they wanted, avoided anything too traditional, and researched the local area for ideas. Polite, professional, and a great guy to work with.

“We used Black Hat Photography for our special day. Ross spent most of the day with us and took his time ensuring he captured everything perfectly. We often get them out to relive our day — would highly recommend to anyone!”

A great photographer at a very reasonable price. Shaun called Black Hat Photography “definitely the best out there,” and said the whole experience left him highly satisfied with the images.
