Candid Wedding Photographer Leeds, in the Heart of Yorkshire

Hi, I’m Tim Christian Jones, a candid wedding photographer based in Leeds. I love photography and hope you see that in my Portfolio. I’ve been taking pictures since a child, a fascination with film cameras, the care in composition, and the anticipation of getting the prints from the lab. I believe this passion is what allows me to tell the story of each wedding day through my eyes. I am wedding photographer based in Leeds, and have photographed weddings from Edinburgh to Brighton, the West Coast of Wales to the shores of Scarborough. Take a look, and see how welcome I am and how passionate I am about photography.

Details & Colour

A slice of celebration —
simple, elegant, real.

Simplicity — elegance — fun — I’ve seen so many beautiful wedding cake creations on my adventures as a wedding photographer in Leeds — 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.

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.

love reflected in every face.

It’s a lot of fun photographing the evening reception at weddings. I’ve seen just about all you can possibly imagine – 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…
