An explosion of colour above a village full of character: that’s what makes sunrise at Staithes so special. The closely gathered cottages, harbour and open sea give the changing sky a setting that is unmistakably Yorkshire.

Each photograph is printed and finished by our family-run team in Yorkshire, with our gallery in Whitby.

First Light over Staithes Village
Some of the most beautiful moments happen before the sun appears. Colour begins to spread across the sky while the village below is still quiet, with street lights glowing among the cottages and along the cobbled streets.
From soft early light to vivid dawn skies, our Staithes sunrise photography captures the changing mood of these mornings. Looking across the village towards Penny Nab and the sea, familiar views become something different with every shift in the light.
These photographs come from returning again and again, watching the forecast and being ready before dawn. The strongest colours may last only a few minutes, but they can make an early start unforgettable.
Sunrise beside the Cod and Lobster
One of the most memorable photographs in this collection looks down the cobbled street past the Cod and Lobster towards the sun rising over the sea. It brings together so much of what people love about Staithes: its familiar buildings, coastal character and a glimpse of the horizon beyond.
This photograph received a wonderful response when shared on social media. The combination of the village setting and morning light makes it a particularly special reminder of Staithes.
Snowy Rooftops & Moonsets at Dawn
A sunrise over snow-covered Staithes is a rare treat. White rooftops stand beneath a colourful sky, bringing together the stillness of a winter morning and the warmth of the approaching sun.
The collection also includes photographs taken as the moon sets around sunrise. These mornings offer a different balance of light, with the last moments of moonlight giving way to a new day over the village.
Snow, clear horizons and the right sky don’t often arrive together. Capturing these scenes takes planning, persistence and the good fortune to be there when the conditions come together.
Summer Sunrises from Staithes Piers
As the seasons change, so does the position of sunrise along the horizon. Summer brings opportunities to photograph the rising sun from the piers, looking out towards the open sea.
These views offer another perspective on Staithes, with the harbour structures leading the eye towards the morning light. Alongside the elevated village photographs, they show how a different viewpoint and time of year can reveal a fresh side of a familiar place.
