# Kissing Gate Photography
Kissing Gate Photography, based in Ilkley, is a creative portrait and wedding photography studio run by Rich Lund. The business specialises in capturing authentic, meaningful moments whilst prioritising enjoyable shooting experiences that put clients at ease in front of the camera.
The studio serves families seeking relaxed, creative portraits—from maternity and newborn shoots through to family gatherings. They work with artists and professionals requiring polished headshots, support commercial businesses and corporate organisations needing purposeful imagery, and photograph weddings with a focus on genuine emotion and documentary-style authenticity.
What sets Kissing Gate Photography apart is their philosophy of making photoshoots genuinely fun rather than stressful. Client testimonials consistently praise Rich's down-to-earth approach, flexibility (including rescheduling during COVID), and ability to put both subjects and guests at ease. The resulting photographs are striking and memorable—clients describe being "blown away" by the quality and emotional resonance of their images.
Rather than simply documenting events, Rich approaches each shoot as an opportunity to create treasured keepsakes that families return to daily. This client-focused mentality, combined with technical skill and creative vision, has earned five-star reviews and strong word-of-mouth recommendations across multiple photography disciplines.
