# Studio Lester

Side by Side Weddings is a Yorkshire-based wedding photography and videography studio capturing authentic, candid moments for couples across the UK. Founded in 2018 by Josh and Lauren, the team specialises in relaxed, natural wedding storytelling that prioritises genuine emotion over posed formality.

The studio serves engaged couples who value an unhurried, personal approach to their wedding coverage. Their clients appreciate suppliers who understand their vision and fit naturally into their day without creating stress or awkwardness. Josh and Lauren, having recently married themselves, bring genuine empathy to every booking—they understand what matters on a wedding day.

What sets Side by Side Weddings apart is their philosophy of capturing "real moments" without cheesy poses or stiff directing. They focus on laughter, hugs, and unguarded interactions that reflect a couple's true connection and personality. Rather than forcing couples to juggle multiple suppliers, they offer integrated packages combining photography and video, ensuring seamless coverage and a unified creative vision.

Their cinematic video work extends beyond ceremony and reception, creating engaging social media highlight reels alongside full-length films. The combination package eliminates coordination confusion between separate teams, allowing one cohesive unit to flow through the day naturally.

Based in Leeds with a service area covering the country, they've built a strong portfolio working with diverse couples, from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations. Their Hitched.co.uk partnership and substantial client testimonials demonstrate consistent quality and reliability in an increasingly competitive market.
