India Raine Photography is a documentary-style wedding and family photography studio based in Middlesbrough, Teesside. Founded by India Raine Hobson, the studio blends 35mm analogue film with digital imagery to create honest, cinematic photographs with a nostalgic, timeless feel — capturing the raw emotion, organic laughter, and joyful tears of your wedding day exactly as they happen.
India's approach is rooted in moving with the rhythm of your day rather than directing it. From editorial portraits that feel pulled from the pages of a magazine to the electricity of the dance floor, every image is crafted to feel lived-in and full of soul. Each wedding package includes coverage from two hours before the ceremony until one hour after the first dance, a mix of digital and 35mm film photography, preview images within the first few days, meticulously hand-edited images, and a beautifully curated online gallery ready within 4–6 weeks.
India serves couples across Teesside, Newcastle, Durham, Northumberland and beyond. Whether your wedding is intimate or grand, her mission is to deliver artistically beautiful galleries where the emotions are as alive as the celebration itself.

Thank you so much for capturing our little one’s 1st birthday so beautifully! ❤️ We absolutely love the photos. You put so much care and thought into everything, and your personal touches made the whole experience even more special. We’re so grateful to have these lovely memories to look back on. Would definitely recommend! 🥰
I had such a lovely experience with India for both my maternity and newborn shoots. India listened to exactly what I wanted and the look I was hoping to capture, bringing it to life even better than I could have imagined. From start to finish, India went above and beyond, offering advice on locations, outfits and styling to help bring everything together. For my maternity shoot, she took me to three different locations to capture everything I had envisioned, putting so much thought into the little details. India also kept me updated with sneak peeks throughout the editing process, which I absolutely loved! India has such a friendly, personable nature and makes you feel completely comfortable, so everything feels natural rather than forced. I couldn’t recommend her enough, especially if you’re looking for something with a more alternative look and feel.
We had a family photo shoot with India (my two daughters and I) and she was fantastic from start to finish. She kept the kids laughing and smiling throughout, giving us hilarious prompts which made for some magical photos we will treasure forever. I can’t recommend her enough; extremely professional and a brilliant photographer. We were absolutely delighted with the photos we got.
India promptly replied to my messages and understood my vision. She arrived on time with her equipment and backdrop. She made my son feel at ease for his prom pictures and got creative with props. Thanks India, pictures were amazing!
India is a lovely person and brilliant photographer. We have worked together with some families and real couples and would highly recommend her. Every says how lovely she is and how at ease she puts people with no experience in front of the camera. ⭐️
Had a great experience with India. She did an amazing photoshoot of me on my aerial equipment and really captured some fantastic shots. Super easy to work with and we got some great photos. I’m really happy with the results and would definitely recommend her!
We had a wonderful experience with India! She really made everyone feel relaxed right from the start. It felt like we were just hanging out together as a family. When we saw the photos after we were blown away! And the candid shots captured our daughter’s personality perfectly. We will treasure these photos forever! Would highly recommend India!

India is so approachable & friendly which really made our shoot so much easier & fun! Thank you so much for making our shoot so lovely & enjoyable - and of course, our pictures so amazing!! 🥰 Would 100% recommend!!
India was brought in for our special day to help capture the main parts of our wedding, so that we might cherish the memories and be able to look back in years to come. But India did far more than capture the day. She went above and beyond and honestly we were blown away by the uniqueness of how she works. Some of the ideas and extra work she carried out weere fantastic, and in all honesty it made our day run incredibly smooth. She had every photo planned to the bone, and we are forever gratful for her work. There are some excellent photographers out there, but we will never use anyone else after this experience. Thank you to India Raine Photography.
I couldn’t recommend India enough! 🤍 She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable during the photos and made everything feel so natural and relaxed. We’re not usually the most comfortable having our photos taken, but India made it so easy and enjoyable. She captured our wedding day beautifully and we’re so happy with our photos. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend India to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! 📸🤍
