Ossett Wedding Photographer

A small town with a lot of heart

Ossett is one of my closest patches, five minutes from home. It’s a proper Yorkshire market town with a handsome town hall, a strong community and a few lovely venues tucked away on its edges.

Dimple Well Lodge

I photographed Lorraine and Mick’s wedding at Dimple Well Lodge, a Victorian manor turned boutique venue, tucked away on the edge of Ossett. It’s a great venue to photograph, with garden arches, ivy-clad walls and plenty of corners for portraits.

How I photograph an Ossett wedding

Before the day we’ll sit down for a coffee and go through everything: the people who matter, the shots you’d love and the ones you’d rather skip. I’ll visit your venue beforehand to find the best light at the time you’ll be there. On the day, I’ll capture it as it happens, without lining everyone up every five minutes.

You’ll get every chosen image in three edits: a classic black and white, a soft film look and a bolder colour style, so you can pick the version you love.

Ossett, Horbury and the villages in between

Ossett and Horbury sit side by side, and plenty of my couples have family in both. I can be with you in minutes for the morning preparations, so there’s no rushing to arrive on time.

Where Ossett couples marry

The old town hall in the market place is the heart of Ossett, and Holy Trinity Church, with its tall spire, is a landmark you can see for miles. For the reception, Dimple Well Lodge is the town’s hidden gem: a Victorian manor with ivy-covered walls, garden arches and even a red phone box.

A little further out, Hatfeild Hall in Stanley and The Holmfield Arms in Wakefield are both an easy drive for guests.

Close by

I also cover Wakefield, Huddersfield and Leeds, all within half an hour of Ossett.

Small weddings and big ones

Some Ossett weddings are fifty close family members, others are two hundred guests and a band. I photograph both the same way: watching for the real moments, keeping posed pictures brief and making sure nobody important gets missed.

For smaller celebrations, the three-hour Silver package often covers the ceremony, family groups and the first part of the reception. For bigger days that run from morning to night, the Gold package is the one I recommend. Both are explained in full on the packages page.
