Capturing Timeless — Authentic Leeds & Yorkshire Wedding Moments in Monochrome

Black and white photography has always had a certain magic. I started out shooting film, and even now — with all the power of digital — there’s still something so timeless about a beautiful monochrome image.
These days, you have the best of both worlds. Want mostly colour with a few striking black and white shots? Easy. Prefer a full gallery of rich, expressive monochrome? Absolutely possible.

Discover the Magic of Black and White Weddings

Believe it or not, there are even professional digital cameras made just for black and white. Leica makes one — and it’s not cheap! But it just shows how much love there still is for that classic look. For most weddings, I include a lovely mix of black and white images alongside the colour ones. And if you ever want to swap them back to colour, that’s no problem at all.

If you're drawn to the emotion, elegance, and simplicity of black and white wedding photography, I’d love to be part of your day. I'm Tim, a Leeds wedding photographer with a relaxed, storytelling style. My goal is to capture moments that feel real — full of laughter, love, and those little glances that say everything. Whether you’re planning a classic Yorkshire wedding or something totally unique, black and white can tell your story in the most timeless way.

Why Black & White? And Why Me, in Leeds?

I’ve always had a soft spot for black and white. There’s something about stripping away the colour that lets the real magic through — the glance, the touch, the laughter behind a veil. It’s timeless, honest, and just a little bit cinematic.

Based here in Leeds, I know the light, the corners, the backdrops that sing in monochrome. Whether you're saying “I do” in a grand hall or a back garden, I’ll find the story and shoot it simply, beautifully — no gimmicks.

Want colour too? Of course. But if black and white tugs at your heart like it does mine, you're in the right place.
