Addie Eshelman Photography

I document life, love, and every moment in between — with wedding photography at the heart of what I do. Based in Carlisle, I specialize in photographing weddings with a storytelling, joyful approach that honours emotion, detail, and real connection. My heart beats for joy-filled couples, and I believe there’s no such thing as ‘awkward in front of the camera’. Whether you’re planning an intimate countryside celebration or a lively, multi-day wedding, I aim to capture the honest moments that make your day unmistakably yours. My style is gentle, conversational, and documentary-forward. I blend unobtrusive coverage with gentle direction when needed so you and your people feel relaxed and present. I love the small, playful moments — the quiet glances, the laughter between toasts, the way light falls across a borrowed veil — and I curate those memories into a cohesive visual story that feels true to you. Every wedding I accept receives my full attention; I photograph a select number of weddings each year to ensure thoughtful planning, personal care, and a calm presence on your wedding day. Working with me is collaborative and comfortable. From our first conversation through to your final gallery, I’ll listen to your priorities, help shape a confident timeline, and offer guidance on portraits and family groupings so your day flows naturally. I include tangible keepsakes because I believe photographs should live outside a screen — every collection includes at least one handheld product to bring your images into daily life. Engagement sessions are available as a relaxed way to get to know one another and create images you’ll love before the wedding day. If you value honest, timeless wedding photography that feels joyful and personal, I’d love to hear about your plans. I’m based in Carlisle and available for UK weddings and worldwide travel. Let’s create wedding photos that feel like you — full of warmth, emotion, and the everyday magic of being together.
