Chris Freer, Lake District wedding photographer
Calm, unobtrusive wedding photography across Cumbria & the Lake District.

Hi, I’m Chris

A little about me — and how I work

I’m based in Cumbria and photograph weddings across the Lake District. I’m drawn to honest, natural moments and work in a calm, unhurried way — offering gentle direction when it’s helpful.

If you’d like to get a sense of who I am (and what it feels like having me around on a wedding day), you can read a little more below.

Planning ahead? You can also check availability.
