Joshua Wyborn Photographic

We chose Josh after weeks of scouring the internet for a wedding photographer with a certain style. I didn’t want the usual, staged wedding shots that looked the same as everyone else’s—I wanted something natural, something that truly captured the moment. From what I remember, he was recommended by one of his peers, and after messaging him about my plans for a surprise engagement shoot, I was thrilled by how enthusiastic he was. Turns out, he loves a good surprise proposal! For our engagement shoot, we chose Cumbria—a place close to our hearts. I had everything planned down to the minute, with him waiting at a specific spot, ready to capture us hugging among the trees like a pair of overly affectionate woodland creatures. The moment itself was incredible, though my now-wife was seconds away from either punching him or telling him to bugger off because, from her perspective, some random bloke with a massive camera was lurking nearby, snapping photos of us in what she thought was a very private moment! But once the surprise was revealed, we hit it off with him straight away. He’s such a genuinely lovely guy—funny, lighthearted, and brilliant at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. And those engagement shots? Absolutely stunning. The backdrop, the emotions, the way he captured the rawness of the moment—it was everything we’d hoped for. So, when it came to our wedding, choosing Cumbria again was an easy decision. It’s a place we love, a place we hope to call home one day, and we wanted our wedding photos to reflect the same beauty and meaning as our engagement shoot. And once again, Josh delivered. He even managed to replicate some of our engagement shots—but this time, we were husband and wife. The other big thing? We eloped. We wanted to get married as soon as possible, in our own way, just the two of us. Well… the two of us and our photographer, who was basically our third wheel for the day (a very welcome one, of course). And honestly, we wouldn’t have had it any other way. He spent the day capturing moments we still look at every day, and he made the whole experience even more special. He’ll always be a part of our story, and we can’t thank him enough for the memories he’s given us.

Where do I start!! Josh is one of the friendliest, most talented and genuinely nicest person I have ever met. I'm not one for having my picture taken but getting married I knew that was going to be a must. We got in touch after searching for photographers in Cumbria (we're Yorkshire). Josh's work spoke for itself we knew his style was exactly what we were looking for. we arranged for a pre wedding shoot a few months before the big day and we had the best time. We just walked and talked going on our own adventure through the woodlands and Josh just snapped away. It felt so natural and comfortable and the pictures...amazing!!! He was always on hand to answer any questions and offer his words of wisdom when I didn't know what I was doing! Roll on the big day. We were having a small wedding at the Hidden River Cabins it was beautiful such a stunning place Josh was there from the getting ready pics to everyone dancing the night away. He just felt like one of us you didn't even notice his cameras but trust me they were there and he captured every single special moment. The love, the smiles, the laughter every picture spoke a thousand words. Nothing was too much...not even when we wanted our portrait pictures in the river!! We are completely in love with every photo and so happy Josh was the man behind the camera. Thanks for everything...we'll let you know when we're up your way for a drink...Kira & Paul
