Leeds Wedding Photographer — Authentic & Timeless


I have grown up with a camera in my hands, a natural progression really — I love photographing weddings across Leeds and further afield. It never feels like work to me — before the day I do my best to learn about each couple in meeting, and develop an acquaintance and understanding. Personality of each couple and everyone else in attendance is what makes the story, and I will capture.

A Unique and Individual Style of Leeds wedding photography


Your wedding is as individual as you are, your photos will be too. In my Portfolio what I hope you will see images full of personality — this is where I do feel my style is unique. Welcome to my Portfolio, where my photography will tell the story — a minimalist purist presentation of my work.

I do this not for accolades, but for the kind words couple share. I’ve been a Leeds wedding photographer since 2004 and have captured weddings of all faiths and personalities across the UK. I’ve visited places and seen cultures that make life so interesting.


“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!
We can’t believe there is no editing and they are simply superb photography skills
Tim really has a talent for knowing how to capture the moment, giving a natural feel to the photos with no awkward poses — just smiles and joy captured all round.
Highly recommend Tim for any photography. He was a pleasure to have with us on the day and has given us such special photos to remember our day by.” — Gemma & Danny (Leeds Civic Hall and The Lost & Found Leeds Club)

Details & Colour

A beautifully crafted four-tier wedding cake adorned with vibrant icing flowers, crowned with a miniature bride and groom — the groom in his kilt. Set in the soft ambient light of the wedding marquee during a joyful Yorkshire celebration.

Simplicity — elegance — fun — I’ve seen so many beautiful wedding cake creations on my adventures as a Leeds wedding photographer — An unedited image of the cake above, in a marquee setting — it would be simple to adjust the contrast and brighten the image to make it pop for example — I prefer the purist approach — the real natural image — looking exactly as it was. The memories I capture are always true to life.

A joyful wedding day moment in York: the bride leads the way along a wet path, smiling with her groom beside her. Passing a moss-roofed shed in the city centre after portraits, the drizzle only added to the fun.

The moments in-between are as magical as those planned — we’d taken a few quick photos around this countryside venue in York — this was taken as they carefully made their way back inside… My couple shots are all about the couple, no same boxes to stand on or poses to adopt — this is real photography.

It’s a lot of fun photographing the evening reception at weddings. I’ve seen just about all you can possibly imagine as a Leeds wedding photographer – but almost always, the first dance. I hope you love the way I work, in my profession that never feels like work… I guess you can see my love of photography in my images. I hope I’m available to capture your wedding story…
