Danielle Richardson Photography

Danielle Richardson is a Dronfield-based wedding specialist who brings an editorial eye and a hopeless-romantic heart to every wedding she photographs. Trained in fashion and editorial photography, Danielle blends that refined visual sensibility with a relaxed, documentary approach — the result is professional wedding photos that feel both beautifully composed and utterly authentic. Why choose Danielle? She believes the best wedding photography comes from being present rather than forcing poses. Danielle won’t be shouting “smile” at your guests; instead she quietly watches for the small, true moments — the laughter between friends, a parent’s tear, the way natural light falls across a face — and captures them with sensitivity and purpose. Her background in editorial work means she naturally frames scenes with attention to texture, colour and place, turning your day into a cohesive visual story. How she works: Danielle starts with a calm, friendly pre-shoot conversation so she understands what matters to you. On the day she offers a guiding hand — suggesting the best light, a pretty doorway or a beautiful tree — while letting your wedding unfold naturally. She prefers shooting outdoors when possible because she sees the surroundings as part of the portrait; familiar locations, quirky doors (yes, she loves doors) and atmospheric landscapes all become part of your wedding story. Guests feel at ease, couples relax, and the genuine moments surface. Danielle’s approach is warm, unpretentious and deeply personal. She’s the kind of photographer who cries at weddings, who loves a good tutu and who celebrates the unique personality of each couple she photographs. Based in Dronfield and covering York, Leeds, Sheffield and surrounding towns, she brings local knowledge and a passion for storytelling to every booking. While wedding photography is her primary focus and passion, Danielle also offers maternity and commercial/personal-brand work as complementary services. If you’re looking for heartfelt, professional wedding photography delivered with style, warmth and editorial polish, Danielle Richardson is ready to capture your day — naturally, beautifully, and true to you.
