Timeless Beginnings: Wedding Moments from 2008–2010

These were some of the very first weddings I ever photographed — filled with soft light, gentle interactions, and unspoken emotion. From quiet moments in Yorkshire gardens to ceremonies by the sea, each story helped shape the calm, natural way I photograph weddings today.

Whether in Leeds, West Yorkshire or further afield, these timeless beginnings still mean the world to me.
