Art & Photography by Ruth

Art & Photography by Ruth is centred on one clear speciality: wedding photography. Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Ruth Lee is a wedding photographer who prefers a natural, laid-back approach that lets your day unfold while she quietly records it. Her aim is simple — to create timeless, emotive images that allow you to relive the feeling of your wedding day for years to come. Ruth’s style is documentary-led with a romantic edge. She looks for the small, honest moments — a laugh shared in a quiet corner, the expression on a parent’s face, the sparkle at the first dance — and complements these with a handful of thoughtfully posed couple portraits so you have both story and classic images. She loves working in natural light, but is equally confident with darker, moodier venues and night-time shots created with off-camera flash when the moment calls for it. The experience with Ruth is friendly and personal. She listens to your plans, learns what matters most to you and encourages relaxed, authentic connection rather than stiff posing. From initial conversations through to delivery of beautifully hand-edited photographs, she treats every wedding as a unique narrative. Engagement pre-shoots are also available as part of the wedding journey — a gentle way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to create images you’ll cherish before the big day. Although weddings are Ruth’s primary focus, she enjoys working across Yorkshire, the rest of the UK and for destination weddings when invited. Her approach is professional yet warm, aiming to keep couples calm and confident while capturing the real feelings that make each wedding distinctive. Every image she delivers receives careful hand-editing so you receive a cohesive gallery of photographs that reflect the tone and joy of your day.

Ruth’s passion for weddings, attention to detail and commitment to genuine moments ensure your wedding photography feels effortless and true to you.
