On a wedding day, I’m often closer to the couple than anyone else. The emotions are real — sometimes it’s hard not to feel them myself. I still remember one Leeds wedding where the bride walked in to Pachelbel’s Canon in D — I had to quietly bite my lip behind the camera.
My journey began with film photography, learning to see light and moments slowly, carefully. That approach still shapes how I work today: patient, observant, and focused on authentic connection. As a Leeds wedding photographer, I capture real stories — warm, honest, and full of atmosphere, with every detail telling a part of your day.
I loved capturing Zoe and Andrew’s engagement session — a mix of laughter, warmth, and real connection. Black and white emphasises the intimacy and personality they bring naturally.
Being based in Leeds means I’m perfectly placed to photograph weddings across the region. From Harrogate and York to the Dales and beyond, I’ve captured weddings in a variety of stunning settings. Every day is different, but my focus is always the same: people first, then the backdrop that frames their story.
I blend in quietly among guests, letting moments unfold naturally. Whether it’s a church ceremony, a countryside barn, or a city celebration, my goal as a Leeds wedding photographer is to capture every moment respectfully — so you’ll always have memories that feel alive and true.
Tender pre-ceremony moments in Yorkshire weddings — unposed, genuine, and full of emotion.
Being a Leeds wedding photographer since 2004 has been a privilege. I still get a thrill capturing moments that are raw, joyful, and entirely real. Every wedding feels unique, and I love that it never truly feels like work—it’s about celebrating people and their stories.
Timeless black and white portrait at Halifax Minster — a natural smile, a shared glance, and the joy of the day.
I love capturing weddings in pure black and white — the subtle gestures, the quiet glances, and the small details that tell your story without distraction. Every Leeds wedding I photograph is unique, and shooting in monochrome lets the emotion speak for itself. It’s photography that feels alive and unposed, yet perfectly timeless.

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

Gemma and Danny’s wedding began at Leeds Civic Hall beneath the bright city skies — a place full of light, laughter, and elegant history. After their ceremony, everyone gathered at The Lost and Found for a relaxed celebration filled with warmth and stories. I loved how naturally the day unfolded — nothing staged, just honest moments and joy.
Every detail tells its own story — colours chosen with care, light falling just right, a moment of stillness before everything unfolds.
Morning light gently kissed the bouquet and the mirror, capturing the stillness before the day began — calm, soft, and full of detail.
Every wedding is a unique journey. Sometimes it’s the quiet streets near Leeds Civic Hall, other times a winding drive through Yorkshire’s moors, or a sunlit courtyard in York. Wherever your day takes me, my goal is the same — capturing warmth, honesty, and the feeling of truly being there.
Natural bridal preparation at a Leeds wedding — patience, detail, and the gentle energy of the morning captured honestly.

Captured naturally, this image is one of those fleeting seconds that remind me why I love documentary wedding photography in Leeds and across Yorkshire.
I’ve always been drawn to how light shapes emotion. This frame was taken just as the bride turned into a shaft of window light — her silhouette forming a simple, beautiful moment that feels both cinematic and timeless.
I love these moments before the ceremony — when the air is still and everything feels possible. The bride stands ready, light catching her veil, while her friend gently admires her shoes. Honest, natural moments like this tell the story of the day before it even begins.
A timeless black and white frame from the Temple of Apollo — the couple hand in hand, the groom’s quiet emotion visible as he glances down during their vows.

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.
My goodness, not to forget the Groom! I try to arrive at the venue, for example, to catch the Groom, the Groomsmen and family, friends, and guests arriving too.

I have a calm approach to my photography, so everyone feels comfortable with me around. Consequently, I don't change the moments like this that tell the story.

What an amazing cake and table decorations at a wedding with many children to cater for. A lovely Mad Hatter cake.
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.
