Colin and Francine’s Wedding Album at Woodlands
Here’s a wonderful example of a Wedding Book Layout featuring Colin and Francine’s wedding at The Woodlands Hotel in Leeds. Love the Dress from Angel Brides in Horsforth and all the details.

Turning the mundane into the extraordinary… Matt’s suit fitting.
Being a wedding photographer is not all Glam you know. Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine so brightly on the brides big day. Occasionally the bride doesn’t get a full nights sleep the day before and make-up just can’t cover those tell-tale bags. Perhaps the couple can’t afford a venue that looks like Buckingham Palace or [...]
The Church, The first look, the tears, the candids and the formals…
Our last Blog entry saw Emma and Richard getting ready in the morning before the ceremony at Woodkirk Church in Tingley. Here, the Bride is ready and the groom is waiting eagerly at the church. I always try and encourage my brides to get ready as early as possible. This allows us some time to [...]
Have you noticed the bride isn’t dressed yet?
“We don’t really need you for the pictures at home. Would you mind starting at the church and we’ll need you till just after the cake cutting, thanks” – Er, no thanks, but I’ll recommend someone more suitable. OK, In case you’re thinking of booking a wedding photographer, let me point out that we’re all [...]

A Kaleidoscopic carpet picnic with an Angel Bride at Woodlands – Colin and Francine Part 1
A few weeks after our ‘engagement’ shoot at Granary Wharf in Leeds I met Francine and her mum and Bridesmaid, Ani at Angel Brides in Horsforth. Both occasions were so relaxed and easy that I knew the wedding day itself would be very special indeed. It was last Friday 15th July at one of my [...]

A beautiful Hazlewood Castle Wedding…
Gail and Kevin, what can I say? You were an absolute delight to photograph. This was our third photographic ‘session’ together, so I guess you were old hands at this point. Do you know what? I loved everything about this special day. Gail, I loved your Mum who was as crazy as me and the [...]
Rebecca and Greg’s Church Service – Part 2
I love photographing weddings because of the challenges. Each wedding is completely different. A hundred different people all interacting in different ways with new locations and changing weather and unique lighting challenges. It’s the challenges that make each wedding shoot so exciting for me. One challenge today was to shoot a sequence of images from [...]
Rebecca & Greg – Anticipation
I met Rebecca some years ago when she modelled for me around the time of her first book. It was ‘Lucy’s Monster’ and I remember reading it at the time thinking how different it was. I love a book that get’s me involved and this dark, menacing story set amongst some familiar locations, actually managed [...]

We had the Brownies and Girl Guides as well as the Choral singers. Dee and Danny are a fabulous couple and here are some of those magical moments from [...]

Leeds City Centre weddings – A 1 Click Photography speciality with style…
It’s fair to say I love Urban weddings. I’m a Londoner, why wouldn’t I? I came to Leeds ten years ago and lived in a warehouse apartment in Great George Street with 60 foot ceilings and 20 foot windows overlooking the Town Hall. It was a photographer’s dream apartment. Loft style living on a budget. [...]
