Lucy Cartwright Photography

I’m Lucy Cartwright — a Keighley-based wedding photographer who believes the best wedding photos come from paying attention to the little gestures and honest moments that make a day genuinely yours. As a specialist in documentary-style wedding photography I put authenticity first: I let your day unfold, quietly recording the laughter, tears, and spontaneous connections that tell your story. My work is driven by a love of natural light and cinematic composition. I’m constantly scanning for those tiny beats — a father’s glance, a friend’s grin, the moment two people breathe easy — and I shape light and framing so every image feels timeless and true. While I prefer to remain unobtrusive, I’m happy to step in when a composed portrait will create a cherished memory. My portrait background helps me make those brief posed moments feel relaxed and natural rather than staged. I also offer engagement photography as a complementary part of my wedding service. Engagement shoots are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, explore ideas, and create images you’ll treasure before the big day. They also give me a chance to understand your dynamic so I can better capture the atmosphere and emotions on your wedding day. Working with me is easy and friendly. I’m always happy to have a relaxed chat before you commit — to hear about your plans, answer questions, and explain how I work. On the day I aim to be calm, adaptable, and attentive, blending documentary coverage with thoughtful, cinematic moments that bring out the character of the day. Based in Keighley and serving couples across West Yorkshire and the UK, I love photographing weddings that feel genuine, stylish, and full of heart. If you want wedding photos that don’t just show what happened but let you remember how it felt, I’d love to hear about your plans and create something unforgettable together.
