Destination Wedding of Julie & Pat — September Rain — captured by Leeds Wedding Photographer, Tim Christian Jones
Travelling from New Zealand, Julie and Pat married in England to share their wedding day with friends and family. September sunshine? Unfortunately not, rain instead! Dampening proceedings? My goodness no! What a fabulous day from preparation photography through to the evening reception. A relatively dark room was the location for preparation photos, using available light I captured the ambience and was as welcome as I always am.
Candid Style Preparation Photography by a Destination Leeds Wedding Photographer
A candid wedding photographic style – Getting ready in a beautiful red painted room inside Woodborough Hall, the bride, her mother, sister, and her daughter. I trust the images will show how welcome I am.
To photograph candid moments that will remain timeless, my personality and approach is calm and professional always.
Poased by the mirror, and then below doing a twirl. Without being too technical, slowing down the shutter speed captured the movement perfectly. Capturing the little ones is an special part of the story — I always find myself so welcome and this makes the job so much fun.
Colours and ambience captured using available light. I do wait for the right expressions as you can see in the image next.
The Wedding Ceremony Captured Naturally with Care
From wedding preparation moments to the ceremony photographed with an unobtrusive and natural style of wedding photography.
A preview of the ceremony, where I always do my best to be discrete. The Groom and his best man. Below, subtle intimate moments, and the soft colours unedited. As you can see their personality is in each moment I captured. From subtle touches to the love and happiness photographed with care. I am a destination Leeds based wedding photographer, and my goodness travelling from New Zealand their whole day was a destination wedding — the rain didn’t dull any aspect of the day!
A wonderful couple, I trust you can see their personality in my photographic style.
Natural Group Photos — Love and Happiness — by a Destination Wedding Photographer
Awaiting the groom for group photos, I captured this wonderful moment. The Group photos that follow I trust you will see the personalities and natural smiles of everyone.
Couple Portraits ‘All About You’
How you laugh — how you smile — the subtle touches. When I capture couple portraits, I want to capture your personality in the photos. I’m not looking for over the top drama — instead down to earth moments your friends and family will see the authentic images – and individual as you both are…
Julie & Pat are a wonderful couple and made it easy to take a few couple shots that reflected their individuality. Braving the rain for just 1 photo outside the venue.
Sparklers and Strawberries — A Wedding Breakfast to Remember

The Cake — The Evening Reception — The First Dance, Photographed by Leeds Wedding Photographer Tim Christian Jones
Cutting the cake is a great moment to capture. I do discuss and suggest with couples when best to do this.
Following on, a few evening reception photos, incl. the first dance. I only use available light capturing the ambience, no editing required.
The candid photos above and below in Black and White are so full of personality and are loved by the couple

I hope you enjoyed this gallery as much as I loved photographing it. Wedding photography across Leeds and Yorkshire is my passion. I do believe my photographic style is so personal and unique — I really do capture a couple with authenticity — a term so over used — please judge for yourselves and I’d love to hear from you about your Leeds, Yorkshire, or Destination wedding plans.
