Based in Kendal, West View Photography specialises in wedding and engagement photography. We capture natural, emotive moments with a relaxed, documentary approach to create timeless wedding photos.
West View Photography is a Kendal-based specialist in wedding photography, dedicated to capturing the atmosphere, emotion and small details that make each celebration unique. With a focus on honest, natural images, we aim to document your day with sensitivity and an eye for light, composition and fleeting moments that become treasured memories. Why choose West View Photography? We position ourselves as wedding specialists — experienced, attentive and calm under pressure. Our approach is rooted in a relaxed documentary style that prioritises real emotion over forced poses. We work to create an easygoing atmosphere so couples and their guests feel comfortable, resulting in authentic photographs that reflect the true spirit of the day. How we work: from first enquiry to final delivery we focus on clarity, collaboration and calm. Every wedding begins with a conversation to understand your priorities, the pace of your day and any must-have images. On the wedding day we balance unobtrusive reportage with carefully considered portrait moments, using natural light and thoughtful framing to produce timeless photographs. After the event, we curate and edit your images to deliver a cohesive gallery that tells the story of your wedding — from quiet preparations to joyful celebrations. Engagement photography is a valued part of our wedding service. Engagement shoots are a great way to get to know how we work together, warm up for the camera and create relaxed couple images you can use for invites or displays on the day. These sessions are tailored to your personality and can take place around Kendal or on location that matters to you. While our core expertise is weddings, West View Photography also accepts business and commercial photography bookings when they fit our style and schedule. These are offered as a secondary service and are approached with the same attention to detail and visual storytelling that informs our wedding work. Rooted in Kendal and serving couples across Cumbria and beyond, West View Photography believes great wedding images come from trust, good planning and a thoughtful, unobtrusive presence. If you value natural, emotive wedding photography that tells the true story of your day, we would love to hear about your plans and discuss how we can capture them.
