Daniela and Mike tied the knot at a lovely, intimate ceremony at York Registry Office followed by a gorgeous reception at the stunning Grange Hotel located on Bootham in York city centre. It was an absolutely brilliant day where I was warmly welcomed by both families and made to feel just like one of the guests which allowed […]
Sarah and Guy were married on a stunning (and surprisingly sunny!) Saturday in March at the lovely St Olave’s Church just next to the Museum Gardens in York city centre.

Easily one of my favourite wedding venues – that I’ve not only had the pleasure to work at but also attend as a guest – Goldsborough Hall near Harrogate in North Yorkshire is something really special. Privately owned and tucked away in a stunning corner of the North Yorkshire countryside, Goldsborough is a wedding photographer’s dream. Stunning gardens […]
Best Of 2016 – York Wedding Photographer | Luke Bell Photography So, here we are – better late than never right?! I’ve been dragging my heels about this year’s “best of” as I’m still getting my head around the fact that it’s already 2017. I mean, where did 2016 go?! And how can I possibly […]
I arrived to meet Becs, her parents and her bridesmaids early in the morning in Harrogate (while it was actually sunny!) to photograph the bridal preparations and it was clear to see that this was going to be a pretty special day. Prosecco was shared, laughter was constant and the girls presented the bride-to-be with a […]

Privately owned and tucked away in a stunning […]
The Epic Workshop Glasgow | Luke Bell Photography One of the most important aspects of what I do is learning and improving. The advent of high-quality, affordable cameras; incredible lenses; powerful computers and much improved editing software has given pretty much anyone the opportunity to give photography a go, but what elevates the great wedding photographers from […]
Friends | Luke Bell Photography So you’re newly engaged – congratulations! I imagine right now that everyone you know is not only totally over the moon for you (and so they should be!) but they’re no doubt talking about ideas for venues and making recommendations for florists, cake makers, caterers, dress designers, bands, make up artists, […]
Frequently Asked Questions | Luke Bell Photography As I head into another busy season of weddings I thought I’d share a number of important FAQs that come up in meetings and enquiries. So in no particular order: FAQs: What style of photography do you shoot? Some people call it a documentary style and I’ll […]
Connie & Neha’s Fusion Wedding | Luke Bell Photography Towards the end of 2015 I was lucky enough to shoot what was not only the biggest wedding of my year but probably the most colourful too. Along with the amazing Bhavna Barratt (who’d asked me to help her shoot the wedding as she was 8 months pregnant […]
Wedisson 11 Photography Award | Luke Bell Photography So this happened. The good people at Wedisson have decided to award me a lovely spot alongside some great photographers for this season’s collection of wedding images. Thanks guys! And thanks Chris and Carolyn for being amazing clients and trusting in me to get the shot. Follow […]
Huw & Amy’s Country Wedding | Luke Bell Photography Huw and Amy’s perfect day was exactly that. Perfect. A beautiful location in the North Yorkshire countryside for an intimate church service, a picturesque village pub for the reception with their family and close friends and two of the most in-love people I’ve ever met. Having first […]
Chris & Carolyn’s Big Day at the Star Inn Harome | Luke Bell Photography Sometimes I get enquiries via my website, sometimes it’s from a referral and other times it’s a recommendation from another supplier. But when it came to Chris and Carolyn’s beautiful country wedding, it was through beer, wine and tapas.It was January last year […]
My ‘Best of 2015’ (or“Everyone else is doing it – so I better do it too…”) When you work as a wedding photographer you sometimes just have to stop and pinch yourself because you’ve been given this great privilege of documenting all these important moments for the couple, their families and for future generations to come – […]
Cherish The Dress Photography | Luke Bell Photography When Juliette approached me about getting some images taken for a surprise first year anniversary to Martin we both knew it needed to be fun, beautiful and reflect their great sense of humour. Having shot their wedding last year I got to know Jules pretty well and […]
Very occasionally everything just clicks and this photo shoot in York just so happened to be one of those times. The clothes, the models, the makeup, the styling and the location just sort of magically came together and made my job as the photographer so much easier – not to mention this was easily one of the […]
This shoot had originally been planned back at the beginning of the year but due to other work commitments (and a last minute snowboarding trip to the Alps!) it was put on hold. But not long after Faye Robertson and myself had finished our shoot with Harriet for Glory Days Vintage Bridal we knew that […]
On the very same day that I worked on the Glory Days Vintage Bridal shoot I was determined to take some time to try and capture some more contemporary images too. I’d already spoken to Harriet and Faye about wanting to take our love for vintage fashion and give it a modern edge by working with […]
Since my shoot with Maria and Arran in Leeds I’d been working on a number of ideas for different photo shoots but nothing was really coming together: I couldn’t find the right model, I’d been knocked back from a couple of locations I was keen on using, I was struggling to find an MUA who’s […]
Just at the end of last month I was asked to step in at the last minute to work on a great little location shoot for a couple of designers taking place in Leeds city centre. Outfits had been delivered, the models – Arran and Maria – were prepped by MUA Michael so that just […]
So it’s the morning of your wedding day and everything’s moving at a 1000mph. Dresses, suits, bouquet, button-holes, shoes, speeches, flowers, drinks, canapés, favours, place settings, table plan – the list goes on and on. All these different things will have been agonised over, possibly argued about and then eventually chosen to be the details that […]
Being lucky enough to live in the capital of action sports in the southern hemisphere – Queenstown NZ – was the photographic gift that just kept giving. Snowboarding, skiing, BMX, mountain biking, jet boating, bungy jumping, paragliding, skydiving, triathlons, marathons and all their different disciplines were right there to participate in and photograph every single day. Of […]
As I was approaching the end of a fantastic wedding season last summer I was contacted by the very talented Faye Robertson MUA wondering if I’d be keen to help out on a great campaign she’d been approached by the RSPCA to head up to help spread awareness of the use of ethically sourced make up. She had […]
Early last year I was lucky enough to work alongside some very talented people on a shoot that none of us thought would go much further than providing each of us with some new friends and hopefully a decent set of images for to share over social media and to use for our websites. Due […]
“This Feeling” For Institute Magazine NY | Luke Bell Photography Continuing on from our previous collaboration, myself and the awesome Faye Robertson wanted to try something different – something a bit more “high-fashion” – so here are some of the results. I feel Faye and I really pushed ourselves for our ‘Flowers & Lace’ concept […]
