Wedding Photographers in Leicester

Leicester is home to many communities, and its photographers are used to covering everything from intimate register office ceremonies to large, multi-day celebrations with several events. If your wedding includes a number of functions, ask how photographers price and staff each one, and whether they bring a second shooter or videographer.

Where to take portraits

Abbey Park, along the River Soar, is a popular green space close to the centre. The tree-lined New Walk, with its Georgian terraces, gives an elegant setting, and the cathedral quarter has historic stone to work with. Just outside the city, Bradgate Park offers rugged open parkland with ancient oaks, rocky outcrops and deer, which makes a strong contrast to city venues.

Some parks and historic sites ask for professional photography to be arranged in advance, so check before planning a shoot there.

Light and seasons

Autumn colour in Bradgate Park and the Charnwood countryside is especially attractive. In winter, natural light fades in mid-afternoon, so plan outdoor portraits soon after the ceremony. Summer brings long, warm evenings for golden-hour shots.

Booking ahead

Peak wedding months and dates around major festivals can be busy for photographers who specialise in large celebrations. Booking a year or more ahead gives you the widest choice.
