My story - I’m a wedding photographer based in Teesside, where I live with my gorgeous family who keep life full of joy, chaos, and inspiration. Before settling back in the North East, I spent four unforgettable years in Dubai working as a lifestyle photographer. It was an adventure in every sense… new cultures, new faces, and a whole lot of sunshine. My work took me even further, travelling to Singapore, Thailand, America, Qatar, and Belgium. But even with all that excitement, I was always wedding dreaming. Eventually, that dream pulled me home to focus on what I truly love: capturing love stories full time.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings of every shape, size, and style. Each one unique, each one perfect in its own way. My work has taken me across the UK and around the world, including America, Portugal, Majorca, Greece and Poland. And I still feel incredibly lucky every time I get to step into someone’s day and document it with honesty and heart.
Outside of weddings, I’m fuelled by the things that make life colourful: my family, holidays, travelling to new places, good music (anything from classical to indie rock), and soaking up the atmosphere at gigs and festivals. I’m also happiest in the kitchen, cooking delicious meals and sharing good food with the people I love.
If you’re looking for someone who will capture your day with warmth, love, calmness, and an eye for the details that matter, I’d love to be part of your story.

“We couldn’t recommend Lauren Braithwaite Photography any more highly. We’d seen her photos on Instagram and loved her natural style so we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding. We had a pre-shoot with Lauren and were instantly at put at ease by her comfortable approach. On our wedding day, Lauren made us and all our guests feel relaxed. I admired the way that she was everywhere but also invisible at the same time. She captured our day perfectly, capturing those intimate moments that tell the story of the day so beautifully. The pictures are beyond what we could have imagined or hoped for and take us right back to each and every moment of the day.” ~ Hannah + Natalie
“We loved her style and knew that we wanted her to capture the memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We met with Lauren for a pre-wedding shoot. Some people just have a skill in making you feel at ease, and Lauren is one of these people. Instantly we felt comfortable in front of the camera, as though we had known her our entire lives.”
"Lauren, we love the photos. You've got such a cool style. We've spent hours looking through them and can't wait to get some printed - Thanks so much, we are thrilled that you did our photos"
