Leeds Wedding Photography Portfolio — Candid Wedding Story Moments

I am a candid style Leeds based Wedding Photographer. From preparation moments, through the wedding ceremony, and the evening reception — let me tell your story with passion and experience. So whether your getting hitched in Leeds Civic Hall, or Allerton Castle, or Woodhall Hotel, or any of our wonderful Yorkshire Wedding Venues. Or maybe you love my photographic style and you’re up in Scotland or down in Cornwall, yes I am always ready to love to venture wherever I am needed.

Leeds & Yorkshire Wedding Photography — A Candid Adventure


From cute little pageboys to shy flower girls twirling, these moments happen when kids feel welcome and seen. I always try to blend in gently, so they welcome the camera — and that’s when the magic happens. Being invited into these moments is great. It’s not just about capturing children being cute — it’s about photographing the spirit of your day through everyone that matters — big and small.

Here’s a gallery section full of joy, mischief, and those unscripted memories you’ll treasure forever.

The often chaos of preparation is always a great place to start — my photography seems to calm the chaos — inasmuch as the memories I capture are usually missed. I want this gallery to show how well I fit in, and am welcome at a very personal time for everyone. I’m there not to over direct or interrupt — I’m there in a genuinely friendly and calm way  allowing me to capture moments like these.

This is another part in the story and how I approach this in my own unique way.

From gentle sunshine to windswept arches, these ceremony moments were captured in every kind of weather — all across Leeds, West Yorkshire, and beyond.

Rainy embraces, golden hour vows, and confetti under umbrellas — this gallery section is a reminder that love doesn’t wait for perfect skies. Each image is unposed, honest, and filled with feeling. Whatever the forecast, the story always shines through.

Individuality captured in every image — authentic couple photography that captures the connection between you just as it is — natural, relaxed, and full of personality. I’ll never take you away from your wedding guests for very long — thought couple’s often say how welcome this little break feels. My style remains as it has always been, to create images that you, your friends and family will love — images where you will see yourselves, and the happiness and emotion you share together.

Weddings aren’t just big moments — they’re a patchwork of little ones. Flowers hand-tied in the morning light. A chocolate cake topped with fresh berries. Menus written with care, candles flickering nearby. I love photographing these quiet details just as they are — because they help tell the full story of your day.

This gallery section celebrates colour, texture, and all the thoughtful touches that make each wedding unmistakably yours.

The Evening Reception, from Ceilidh Bands, Jazz Bands, Heavy Metal, and Elvis Impersonators. I’ve seen just about everything. I shall develop this gallery section to include examples, and maybe inspire too.
