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.

A Destination wedding for the books — Lowri and Tim tied the knot in Stourton. A fun filled relaxed love story told at the Temple of Apollo and then onto the Memorial Hall. A natural purist style of photography. Did I capture the story well? Let me know what you think…
