Photographer in York, UK
Andy Dufton Photography is based near York and works with people and businesses across the city and the surrounding villages. Whether you need portraits, wedding coverage or photographs for an event, the aim is always the same: honest images that actually look like you, your day or your business, not something overworked or staged.
York throws up a lot of good backdrops for portrait sessions, from the Minster and the city walls to the riverside paths and the parks out towards Fulford and Bishopthorpe. Sessions can be arranged in the city centre, in a garden or at a location that suits the client, and the same applies for couples wanting engagement or pre-wedding photographs somewhere familiar to them.
For weddings, coverage takes in venues in and around York, from getting ready shots in the morning through to the speeches and the first dance in the evening. The approach stays fairly relaxed and unobtrusive so that the day keeps moving and the photographs come out looking natural rather than posed for every minute.
Event photography is also available for businesses and organisations in York, covering things like conferences, product launches, staff photographs and community events. Files are edited and delivered in a format that is easy to use on a website or in print, whichever is needed.
Because the studio is close by, travel to jobs in York does not add much to the cost or the planning, and it is easy to meet beforehand to talk through what is wanted before booking anything in.
Engagement & Pre-Wedding Photography York
An engagement or pre-wedding session is a short, informal shoot booked ahead of the wedding, usually just the two of you and Andy. It is the easiest way to get used to being photographed together before the day itself, so that when the wedding comes around the camera feels like much less of a big deal.
Sessions run in places that mean something to you, or that simply photograph well. In and around York that might be Museum Gardens, St Helen's Square, a wander through the city centre or the open ground by York Racecourse, or somewhere quieter such as Flaxton, Deighton or over towards Knaresborough. If you already have a spot of your own in mind, that works just as well.
There is no script. The style is a mix of documentary and gentle direction, so you will be asked to walk, talk and stand in decent light rather than hold stiff poses. Wear what you would normally wear and expect it to feel closer to a walk with a friend than a formal photoshoot. It also gives you both a chance to see how Andy works before the wedding day, and for Andy to learn how the two of you are together.
Images come back edited and ready to use for save the dates, invitations, an order of service, or simply to keep. To talk through dates and locations, call Andy on 07852 373428.
