Heather Butterworth Photography

Heather was amazing start to finish in both planning and her work. We found her through a local recommendation page and we're eternally grateful we did! We had a registry office marriage and a twilight wedding, both of which Heather attended, and the images from both days will be forever treasured. She manages to catch the feeling of the day in her work! She also worked amazing with our dog who appeared at the end of the registry office ceremony for a few photos with the family. Obviously as a couple, we wanted photos with our nearest and dearest to hang on their walls, however the true beauty of heathers work lies within the ‘Documentary’ photos, the candid moments of pure joy. Again, thank you so much. We will be recommending her to all our friends and colleagues!

Heather came out to Skiathos for our wedding and took some absolutely wonderful shots. She was very relaxed and exactly what we wanted! I can remember laughing all day and the smiles on those photos bring back all the memories! We would definitely recommend her as she is so very talented! We were so lucky to have someone that cared so much about our day. Thank you Heather! It was truly the best day of our lives.

We are absolutely blown away! The photographs are all beautiful! Heather completely managed to capture our day and gave us so many memories to look back on. She made us feel at ease from the first time we met her on our engagement shoot and on the day she was so professional. The final product is wonderful, she has perfectly captured our day in memories we can keep forever.

The wonderful Heather photographed our wedding back in December 2019 at the Woodman Inn in Thunderbridge. She captured it beautifully, with some fantastic natural and formal pictures in which we can cherish for life. Nothing was too much hassle for her & she has an eye for creativity in pictures. She got some beautiful photos of our baby daughter who was 8 month old & even got some amazing ones of my husband who very much dislikes his photo taking but he said she made it a lot of fun. We have stunning photo’s from our engagement shoot to the last dance on our wedding day (Including some very drunk ones at the evening, which we love) Heather is not only a fabulous photographer but a great person to be around, which makes it extra special on your big day. If you are looking for a true professional with eye for detail, do not look any further. Thank you again xxx

We booked Heather for our August wedding in 2020, but this did not go to plan. We decided to move the big wedding to 2021 and have a very small ceremony at the town hall (when weddings were first allowed). We asked Heather if she could come to take some photographs at our wedding at the town hall whilst we waited for 2021. She photographed the wedding, our breakfast and an outdoor setting. Heather was friendly, approachable and responded to our never ending questions quickly and reassured us that things will go well throughout, we met on zoom and had regular what's app chats. We discussed what ideas we had and how to capture nature and our wedding, as this was important to us. On the day Heather took photographs in a documentary style, which is what we wanted, she produced some lovely action shots during the wedding, when she wasn't allowed out of her seat! She also took more formal photographs at our request, which wasn't easy with our 3 year old niece and my 89 year old grandma to pose at the right time. When at Kirkstall Abbey it as clear Heather had done a reccy, she made it look like we were in the countryside, and with the aid of the best man, made it look like sunset for some of our photos. This was more than we expected and I think the outcome of these photographs were stunning. Our wedding photographs have been chosen to appear on Brides up North website, which shows Heather's clear talent. Heather's relaxed and informed nature was what we wanted in a photographer, and I'm eager to see what she can produce for our wedding this year.

Heather was the most amazing compliment to our wedding. She captured all the joy and love in such a natural way and even went the extra mile to be a witness too. Thank you Heather xxx

Heather is amazing! Bloomin good photographer and all round nice lass! When we were choosing our photographer, the choice was so vast, all showcasing beautiful work and websites, but there was something about Heathers shots that really resonated with us. In the main we wanted 'natural' shots and meeting with Heather allowed her to fully understand what we wanted. I firmly believe that this is a key reason why we are so delighted with the final result. In addition, from first contact right the way through to weeks after the wedding, communication, price transparency and options available was nothing short of amazing. Choose a photographer very carefully as you are entrusting someone to capture a life times worth of memories. I have no qualms in fully endorsing Heather. An 11 out of 10!

Heather photographed our Town Hall wedding and large reception party. She was friendly, relaxed and professional at both. Really happy with the photos. Many guests went out of their way to tell us how good she was compared to other wedding photographers they had experienced. Also very good with children and older relatives. Would highly recommend. Thank you Heather!
