Leeds Wedding Photography in Black and white

Unedited and Timeless Black and White Leeds Wedding Photography by Tim Christian Jones. Presently, there seems to be a trend for low contrast images, whilst years ago the opposite was true in high contrast black and white. I prefer the true unchanged photography. Every wedding I capture is beautiful, so why would photos need editing?

When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls! Ted Grant

Leeds City Center Wedding Photographer

A wonderful wedding, firstly at Civic Hall in Leeds and then onto the Lost and Found Club for the wedding breakfast. What a fabulous moment I captured. Her friends approached me for the second day of the wedding celebration, saying how happy she was that I caught so many beautiful and flattering photos of Gemma. This is why I love photography that is unedited and real.

Leeds Wedding Photographer Capturing Beautiful Wedding Preparation photos

There are so many moments to capture during this first part of the day you can choose to have me there to calmly and professionally capture. I’ll always use available light, no flash photography. As I trust you can see, I do feel so welcome by everyone, and this makes my professional venture so enjoyable and in no way like work at all! The final photo in this sequence below, the bride posed in shadow and light before the ceremony. All photography by Leeds Wedding Photographer Tim Christian Jones.

The show must go on, whatever the weather, I am there to capture each moment. I love rainy day weddings as much as sunny days. The rain can bring such fun too, umbrellas, wellies, mud, I’ve seen and photographed it all. Leeds Wedding Photographic Excellence.

Sometimes it’s hard to talk about a photo, because the image itself is worth a 1000 words. I love to capture the Detail and Colour at each wedding.

Capturing a wedding is the most varied and challenging of photographic ventures – even one day can present many types of weather, lighting, people, places, etc. A good photographer, firstly really knows each wedding couple well enough to understand what they want. Though just a few couples ask for no group photos or posing, otherwise a photographer needs the calm patience to make the group photos run smooth and a little fun too. I do enjoy group photos as much as the natural stuff.

Wedding group photos are so important because, getting all the friends and family together this way is otherwise often impossible to do. Grandparents I have focused on that pass soon after the wedding, the couple are so thankful. My experience and calm approach lets me really do the best I can.

I once covered a beautiful wedding at the Village Hotel in Leeds, and elderly couple, the groom was terminal. I had the photos ready for them the very next day, and the design for their storybook wedding book was done in a few days. I don’t need to edit whatsoever as I am a professional photographer.

Hey!, from a Passionate Leeds Wedding Photographer | timchristianjones.co.uk

My name is Tim Christian Jones, and also I’m a highly experienced wedding photographer. Living in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I’ve spent years using my natural talent to capture the story of more than 500 weddings . Additionally, a graduate of Leeds Met. University, though now my hobby of photography since a child, has become my life. All photography by Leeds Wedding Photographer Tim Christian Jones, covering weddings across, Leeds, Yorkshire and UK wide since 2004

I learnt photography by taking photos with a film camera and jotting down the settings and seeing later how adjustments changed each photo. I in fact have to admit that my first wedding photographic assignment was booked on the strength of holiday photos I had taken. I especially recall on the plane travelling home a fellow traveller commented on how my images looked like postcards.

So the first wedding assignment was in Leeds and the reception in a marquee set up in the garden. I wasn’t asked to cover the evening, though when the couple saw the photos, they wish they had me for the whole day and evening. It’s remains an absolute pleasure to photograph so many wonderful wedding days across Leeds West Yorkshire and surrounding counties.

I’m more than happy to travel where asked, a big part of my love of this profession is that I have seen places and people I’d otherwise not have seen or met I guess. A wedding on the windy shores in Brighton is so memorable, or one of the first weddings I photographed back in 2004 was a Medieval Themed Wedding.

Also included were fire breathers, fun costumes, and you would hear ‘Bring on the wenches!’ obviously to serve the food – makes me laugh even now! To extremes, another hugely memorable occasion was for a four person celebration up in Scotland.

Finally, would you believe, Glengoyne Distillery for whisky tasting. In addition, we stopped en route to take some couple photos in the snow, alongside the beautiful hills, water, and landscapes that are everywhere there.
