“Every picture tells a story, but with black and white, it’s a different chapter.” “Noir et blanc – a timeless love affair.”

Unedited, Timeless photography. At the moment there seems to be a trend for low contrast, whilst years ago the opposite was true in high contrast black and white. I prefer the natural look. Every wedding I capture is stunning, so why would photos need editing?

Leeds wedding photographer - Bridal Preparation

A wonderful wedding, firstly at Civic Hall in Leeds and then onto the Lost and Found Club for the wedding breakfast. What a fabulous moment I captured. Her friends approached me for the second day of the wedding celebration, saying how happy she was that I caught so many beautiful and flattering photos of Gemma. This is why I love photography that is unedited and real.

The second image was captured during the wedding breakfast. I don’t photograph adults eating of course, but the interaction and fun that follows, I am there.

“Tim did our wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Quite easily the best photos we have ever seen and sent to us the next day!”…

Hello again, in my Portfolio I’ll show how I capture each aspect of your wedding day, from getting ready, through to the evening reception…

So here we start with getting ready shots, or preparation photography. I’m there for natural, in the moment shots, and a few poses too. Most importantly I will make all feel comfortable with me there. I’m not sure how I do that, it’s just me I guess…

There are so many moments to capture during this first part of the day you can choose to have me there to calmly and professionally capture. I’ll always use available light, no flash photography. As I trust you can see, I do feel so welcome by everyone, and this makes my professional venture so enjoyable and in no way like work at all! The final photo in this sequence below, the bride posed in shadow and light before the ceremony. As perfect as the bride will be before the main events start…

Understanding available light by a Leeds wedding photographer, evidently with extensive experience, and a true love of photography. Above all I want my couples to have images that are unique to them and full of personality. In conclusion the elegance of the venue is outshone by the elegance of the bride.

I love to capture light and shadow, colour and emotion in my Leeds wedding photography. Composition comes naturally to be considered a professional in this field. Trends don’t matter to me whatsoever, photography can remain pure even with so much emphasis on ‘professionally edited’ My emphasis however is only on professionally taken with naturally great composition!

The Wedding Ceremony
by Leeds wedding photographer: Tim Christian Jones

Continuing the story, we arrive at the wedding ceremony. I love to photograph the ceremony, typically a time full of smiles and emotion. With respect to the couple and their family and friends, along with the rules of the church, civic hall, or venue, rest assured I am there unobtrusively and quietly to capture these moments in time. I have often been thanked especially at churches, for example, for respecting the event.

First you have to arrive, whatever the weather! And not to forget the Groom waiting, as always if you have any questions, please contact me however you prefer…

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. I shall create a Blog Post soon showing some of the extremes of wedding weather I have experienced and enjoyed.

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.

The Evening Reception

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.

Nikki and Mike’s wedding photography request was no posing or group photos etc. The photo above captures the proud faces of the Groom’s sons as they walk Nikki in. Below, Nikki and Mike stood by the piano just outside the door to the wedding breakfast, waiting to be called in. I didn’t interrupt at all.

Photo of a Mad Hatter wedding cake. Caught just before it started to fall - Leeds wedding photographer
What an amazing cake and table decorations at a wedding with many children to cater for. Because of a perfect mad hatter cake presentation, a little delicate as you can see the cracks appearing, which sadly got worse. The couple however much relieved that this and many other photos were taken beforehand. I trust you will see my unique talent amidst the many wedding photographers Leeds.

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.

As a Leeds wedding photographer, are you happy to travel where needed?

I’m more than happy to travel where asked, a big part of my love of this profession is that I have seen places and people I’d otherwise not have seen or met I guess. A wedding on the windy shores in Brighton is so memorable, or one of the first weddings I photographed back in 2004 was a Medieval Themed Wedding. Also included were fire breathers, fun costumes, and you would hear ‘Bring on the wenches!’ obviously to serve the food – makes me laugh even now! To extremes, another hugely memorable occasion was for a four person celebration up in Scotland.

Finally, would you believe, Glengoyne Distillery for whisky tasting. In addition, we stopped en route to take some couple photos in the snow, alongside the beautiful hills, water, and landscapes that are everywhere there.

My name is Tim Christian Jones, and also I’m a highly experienced wedding photographer. Living in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I’ve spent years using my natural talent to capture the story of more than 500 weddings . Additionally, a graduate of Leeds Met. University, though now my hobby of photography since a child, has become my life. All photography by Leeds Wedding Photographer Tim Christian Jones, covering weddings across, Leeds, Yorkshire and UK wide since 2004.
