Tiree Dawson is a Kendal-based wedding photographer who creates stylish, soulful wedding and engagement photography. Honest but flattering; gentle but fun — relaxed photos you’ll love.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Kendal and the Lake District who balances soulful storytelling with unmistakable style, you’ve found her. I’m Tiree — an award-winning wedding photographer who’s photographed almost 1,000 weddings in the Lakes and beyond. My approach is simple: I make you feel comfortable, I pay attention to the small human moments, and I craft images that feel honest and timeless. Why choose me? Because I don’t force you to choose between candid documentary coverage and flattering portraiture — I do both. I build trust quickly and effortlessly with the two of you and with your guests, so the photos feel natural even when they’re beautifully composed. I’m as happy blending into the shadows to capture a tender, fleeting glance as I am joining the dancefloor to soak up energy and capture the party. The result is wedding photography that’s emotionally true and stylishly edited — what I like to call the Tiree Tones. What makes my work special is a combination of experience, sensitivity and a relaxed process. I’ve spent years developing a way of working that keeps your day flowing while ensuring the images tell the right story. I listen to your plans, offer friendly advice on timings and locations, and I’ll happily suggest portrait spots around your venue so we get the best light without stealing your day. Many couples appreciate that I’m calm when it matters and energetic when a lift is needed — honest, but flattering. Gentle, but fun. I also photograph engagement/pre-shoots to help nervous couples relax in front of the camera before the big day. For elopements and micro weddings I offer a complimentary cinematic highlights video, and analogue film coverage is available as a bolt-on for couples who love 35mm stills and 8mm motion. Based in Kendal, I specialise in wedding photography across the Lake District, bringing local knowledge of venues, routes and portrait locations. If you want professional wedding photos with soul — images that feel like you and make you smile years from now — get in touch to see my brochure or book a video call. I’d love to hear about your day and help you plan photographs that fit it perfectly.
