Lorna Yabsley (born 19 July 1964) is a British former actress, photographer and author, who pioneered the "reportage" style of wedding photography during the early 1990s.[1]

As a teenager she attended Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts in East Grinstead and Elmhurst School for Dance in Camberley, Surrey. She also spent much of this time acting in television dramas and serials. She starred in the Tales of the Unexpected episode "The Flypaper", which became a cult favourite.[2] She adopted the stage name Lorna Charles in 1980, and starred alongside Brenda Blethyn and Harriet Walter in the Richard Eyre-directed Play for Today edition The Imitation Game.[3]

Her career in photography started at the age of 18, when she began working as an assistant for landscape photographer Charlie Waite. Together they set up the specialist photo library Landscape Only.[4]
