Leeds is home, photography takes me across Yorkshire and beyond. I am Tim Christian Jones, a wedding photographer from Leeds.

For me, it's always about people before places. Something I have learned is keeping perspecive natural. What do I mean? In my slideshow and below you can see a couple portrait taken outside Leeds Civic Hall, a grand venue. Should a photographer try to get the whole building in? Is it needed to create beautful portraits? What do you think? I tend to shoot with a 50mm lens, this gives natural perfective and photos look almost as they do through your eyes.

I love the Yorkshire countryside and travelling up and down the UK. From Edinburgh to Brighton, and Scarborough to West Wales, my work as a wedding photographer has taken me all over the country. I enjoy visiting new venues, but it's the people and their stories that inspire me most.

Alongside full wedding stories, I’ve created a series of galleries that focus on different parts of the day — from morning preparations and wedding breakfast moments, to detail and colour, children at weddings, evenings, and documentary storytelling throughout.

Each gallery is a way of slowing the day down and seeing it in chapters — small, honest fragments that build the full story.

Timeless Monochrome Wedding Moments in Leeds

I love photographing wedding moments in black and white — it removes distraction and brings everything back to emotion, gesture, and connection.

Subtle glances, quiet movement, and honest moments often feel even more powerful in monochrome. Every Leeds wedding I photograph is unique, and this way of seeing helps the story feel timeless and true to the day.
