About

I am a fully insured, award-winning, full-time wedding photographer and I have over 300 wedding experience.

I’m a Lake District-based wedding photographer but I am available to shoot throughout North West and beyond.

I specialise in creative, stylish, and relaxed wedding photography.

For me, it's important to allow people to be themselves and enjoy the day, with natural smiles and laughter as they are always the best photos.

I aim to photograph what’s there and what’s happening, while at the same time, doing it creatively, and providing you with stunning images that you will treasure.

I adore the small moments in between just as much as the rest, and nothing about your wedding day will go unnoticed. This is your day to shine, so smile and enjoy it while I capture your story.

I offer a few different collections but I can also create bespoke collections for you. The final edited images are presented on a private online gallery, which means you can share your photos with your loved ones and everyone can download their own photos.

Weddings are expensive, so I offer a flexible payment plan meaning you can spread the cost in as many installments as you like up until the 6 weeks prior to your wedding.

Finally, It is very important to choose a photographer you like. Once the wedding is over, you hang your dress, go on your honeymoon, the only thing left in your hands are the photographs, and if you don't love your photos then you haven't chosen the right photographer! Make sure you shop around, look at every single photograph possible, ask every question you need to ask, and finally make sure you invest in a professional photographer that you love and trust.

Please contact me for any questions, pricing, and availability.

A fantastic experience

I knew that I wanted Eftal to photograph my wedding before the venue was even booked. It was a decision that we certainly do not regret. Eftal really went above and beyond at our wedding, making sure everything ran smoothly and even doing things like helping to button my dress. We felt uncomfortable about the photos but Eftal really put us at ease and they turned out to be INCREDIBLE. The previews that came after the wedding were amazing and we now have the full gallery. It was so hard to choose favourites for our album as there were so many lovely photos. The day was captured perfectly and gave us wonderful memories to look back on. I would absolutely recommend Eftal to anybody, he is incredibly talented and our guests were talking about how good he was after the wedding but even more so now after they have seen the photos. Thank you Eftal!

A dream come true

Wow. Eftal truly puts his heart and soul into each and every photo. We were both really nervous about this aspect of the wedding- spending hours infront of a camera, feeling embarrassed and tense- but it was the most fun, heart warming experience and we wish we could do it all over again. We felt instantly at ease and the guests loved him too. He's kind, patient and has such a creative vision, going for the natural and scenic shots.

We fell in love with his photos and style on first viewing when we booked the wedding and knew he would make our wedding look spectacular, by capturing all the intimate moments. We were right. But also so wrong a he surpassed our expectations in every single way. Stunning.

Thank you truly,

Em & Joe

Could not have wished for a better photographer

Eftal is not just your average wedding photographer. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He spent hours in the rain with us getting the best shots. Every single one is perfect and the joy we felt on the day is evident throughout. He was super helpful in the run-up to the wedding and especially on the day.

The most stunning wedding photos you could wish for!

Choosing a photographer to capture one of the best days of your life is no small task but honestly look no further than Eftal.. his work is sensational! From the moment Eftal arrived on the morning of our wedding he kept us all laughing and feeling relaxed. He guided us on how we could get the best out of our shots and he made it feel natural the entire time. No words can describe the happiness we felt when we received our wedding photos and when going through them it felt like we were relieving the whole day again. He captured every aspect of our special day perfectly. So many of our friends and family have commented on them being the best wedding photos they had ever seen and they really are absolutely stunning. Thank you for the most beautiful photos, we cannot recommend Eftal enough! George & Max x

Delighted with our beautiful wedding photos

The photography for our wedding was always one of the absolute priorities. I scoured websites, wedding fayres and friends’ photos, looking at 50+ photographers and slowly working up a dream shortlist. Eftal was top of that list from the beginning and we were delighted that he was not only available for our big day but prepared to travel to a venue he’d never been to before. His style is just wonderful; so warm and magical, capturing the most perfect moments between couples and their guests.

On the day, Eftal was everywhere yet he just blended into the wedding; we barely noticed he was there which was perfect for me, a very awkward bride not used to having her photos taken. (Another tip; get the engagement/pre wedding shoot from Eftal if you can, this definitely helped me!). We were on the brink of a global pandemic, we were nervous and stressed but Eftal was that perfect combination of professional and friendly - everything you want and need in a supplier!

The weather on our wedding day was challenging all day - we had grey skies, followed by an almighty storm which lasted well into the night. I insisted we try to capture some outdoor shots and Eftal was resourceful and in control when I felt all was lost - he offered advice, rallied us and made us laugh when we were all outside shivering and soaking wet! A true rockstar photographer who felt like a friend by the end of the day. The resulting images are stunning, we cannot believe in the midst of some of the worst weather I’ve ever known that he managed to achieve such beautiful photos which perfectly summarise a wild day in the Lake District. Thank you Eftal for having such an eye for the most beautiful shots, for your endless patience and creativity, and for memories we will never forget.

The most magical photos

We really wanted to get married with mountains and water as our backdrop and the Lake District is such a beautiful location. However with the unpredictable weather and the importance to me of our wedding photos I knew we needed someone that could handle whatever the day threw at us. I saw Eftals photos and was instantly in love. He makes moody skies and miserable weather breath takingly beautiful and magical at the same time. We were getting married in the Winter and rather than this now being a problem for our photos it was even more exciting for getting some incredible shots as the day went from light to dark. He completely utilised any area of the venue in ways that didn’t come to light until you saw the finished photo. Not only are his photos captivating but he was a complete asset to the day. He moved the day along, he managed the party telling who to go where and what to do next. He was completely in control of the entire group and day. In himself he is a fond memory from the day. I barely know where to start with his photos as there are so many that really mean so much to us and not enough space on our walls to give them the size they deserve!! I feel so blessed we managed to find such a talented photographer and will always treasure these stunning memories. Honestly if you want to take a worry off your mind just book Eftal and know that’s one thing ticked off your list that’s a guaranteed perfect supplier sorted. Thanks again Eftal✨ Mr and Mrs Bannister. 03.01.20

The best day of our lives!

From the first time we met Eftal back in November 2017 at a wedding fair at Abbey House we knew that we didn't want anyone else to photograph our wedding. Abbey House is a very special place to me and my husband, Scott as it is the place were we got engaged and we knew after looking through Eftal's albums and having a chat with him that he would capture our day the way we wanted and leave us with the most amazing memories to take away from such a special place. From then on Eftal was extremely helpful and answered every email we ever sent. Eftal was fantastic during the build up to the wedding with letting us know what would happen on the day. We really didn't have to worry about anything at all. On the day of our wedding, Eftal was amazing! He was professional at all times and brought lots of laughs and fun to the time we spent away from our guests. He made us feel very relaxed throughout which was very important to us. Alot of our guests have said what a lovely man Eftal was and how talented he really is and we couldn't agree more. We are unbelievably happy with our wedding photos, they have exceeded our expectations! We cannot thank Eftal enough for leaving us with the most amazing photos to remember the best day of our lives. I have and will continue to reccomend Ladybirds Photography!
Thank you so much Eftal!

Dear Eftal,
Just writing to say thanks again for our photographs, we’re really happy and had a great day. You made it really easy for us to enjoy the day and captured the feeling of the day perfectly.
We did our homework and you came highly recommended, even with a high bar we were impressed with how well it worked with you knowing the venue and the staff so well. We can’t recommend you highly enough, good luck in the future!!
Thanks again ?

We are so so glad that we booked Eftal as our wedding photographer! His work speaks for itself it is incredible and we are over the moon with all of the photos.

He is so talented, we don’t usually like our photos being taken but we put our full trust in Eftal and on the day we were not worried at all! He guided us through everything, politely telling us where to look/place hands etc and we were so relieved about that! Eftal is so lovely and really made the whole day feel relaxed and we had so much fun.

The passion Eftal has for his work really shows in all of the photos! He has captured our special day so perfectly!

We couldn’t believe the amount of photos we were given by Eftal, so many to choose from! We were surprised with how quickly the photos were ready, it was really nice to get a some photos within the first few weeks it made us very excited and we couldn’t wait to see the rest!

We were thankful for Eftal stepping in on the day to organise the group photos ( as we forgot our list) He has really mastered the skill of being very organised but appearing laid back and relaxed.

We would definitely recommend Eftal again! it was an absolute pleasure to have him there on our wedding day and a lot of our guests commented on how lovely he was.

So we would like to say a massive thank you to Eftal, you’ve got this whole thing down to a T.

Wonderful Winter Wedding!

We chose Eftal after seeing his work online. His style matched the kind of look we wanted and we were so pleased that he was available to capture our day. Eftal worked so well with our videographer who he had never met before, this made the day so much more relaxed for us and our guests. We got married in December so were expecting bad weather but Eftal didnt flinch at the wind and rain and he just got us out there, enjoying the moments. I have been counting the days to see the full album and it was so worth the wait. We are over the moon with the work that Eftal has done and our whole family are looking forward to getting prints done. Thank you Eftal - we LOVE your work :)

A magical experience with memories to last a lifetime

We found Eftal via Instagram and instantly were a huge fan of his work. All of the pictures looked so magical, and the final products did not disappoint! We love every single picture, both posed and natural images all look so effortless. Eftal is a great person to have around on the wedding day, he was so bubbly and positive while also making us feel at ease throughout. The effort to get those shots was amazing, getting into the lake to make sure that shot on the beach was perfect... no problem at all! The images we have received are a credit to his dedication to those shots. I am pretty sure the grandparents have shown our images to the whole of the North East with everyone asking 'who was that photographer!?'.
All of our family and friends commented on his positive attitude throughout the day and not one of them felt at all awkward or uncomfortable. We would not hesitate in recommending Eftal to any couples getting married, we have the most incredible images that we can cherish forever. Thank you again for capturing our day in the most stunning way.
