There are so many amazing wedding photographers in Yorkshire. How do you narrow down the search and choose the one that's right for you? We asked Ruth Mitchell Photography for her top tips...

You'll find many professionals with their own styles, so first of all you need to decide on the style of imagery and how you want your wedding day to be – we've all been to weddings where the photographer has taken over the day! I concentrate on capturing moments and being as unobtrusive as possible, which leaves you to be with your family and friends to enjoy your wedding day. I love capturing emotion and laughter and telling a very real story of your day. I will, of course, photograph a handful of family shots and relaxed ones of you as newlyweds, but most of what I capture is natural.

Always ask to see a full album from one wedding, rather than just the photographer's highlights to make sure they're consistent in producing great images throughout the day. Always try to meet or have a video chat to make sure you get on well with them too.

Married to your surname? 26% of women are planning on keeping theirs

Married to your surname? 26% of women are planning on keeping theirs

Lots of people are ditching traditions when it comes to modern weddings and marriage - one of which quickly losing favour is the tradition of taking your partner's surname. In a recent survey carried out by Pandora UK, almost nine in ten (88%) women said they think that attitudes to married names are changing in 2026 ¹. When asked, over a quarter (26%) of unmarried women said they'd keep their last name if they got married, whilst less than half (45%) said they'd take their partner's name. This is indicative of the shift in opinion in recent years, as when married women were asked, only a sixth (17%) of women said they kept their maiden names when they got married, whilst the majority (78%) took their partner's surname, with just 4% choosing to double-barrel their last name with their significant other.
