“We were so lucky to have Darren photograph our wedding!. He captured our day so perfectly”
Hey, I’m Darren
I’m a Yorkshire wedding photographer based in Leeds, passionate about capturing timeless moments you’ll cherish forever.
I’ve lived in Yorkshire my whole life, and I bring that local warmth and familiarity to every wedding I photograph. I’m a husband to my amazing wife, a proud dad to two incredible kids, and a dog dad to our chocolate Labrador, Nelly – the real boss of the house!
While I’m based in Leeds and work across Yorkshire, I also travel throughout the UK and abroad to capture destination weddings. Whether you’re planning a rustic Yorkshire barn wedding or a sun-soaked celebration overseas, I’d love to be part of your day.
There’s something truly special about wedding photography. I don’t just take photos — I tell your story. Every couple is different, and every wedding is unique. That’s why I approach each one with fresh eyes and a genuine passion for capturing the emotions, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the unforgettable memories that make your day yours.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, storytelling approach to your wedding photography, I’d love to hear from you.
Why I Love What I Do
I absolutely love being a professional wedding photographer — it’s not just a job, it’s a true passion. Capturing one of the most important days in a couple’s life is something I genuinely enjoy and feel honoured to do.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings of all kinds — from intimate elopements and stylish city weddings to rustic barn celebrations in the beautiful English countryside. I’ve also travelled across Europe to capture unforgettable destination weddings, including magical celebrations in Madrid, Italy, and beyond.
No two weddings are the same, and that’s exactly why I love what I do. Each couple has their own story, and I’m here to help tell it through honest, heartfelt imagery. If you’re planning your special day — whether it’s in Yorkshire, across the UK, or overseas — I’d love to hear all about it.

“My role is simple: to documents memories, events and life in varied environments and surroundings, with no one moment being the same. Every wedding and special occasion is unique, and all clients have certain requirements, therefore I am here to work with you, and capture your memories the way you want, whilst benefiting from my guidance, experience and skills I have gained over the years”.
A little more about me…
As a Yorkshire wedding photographer based in Leeds, I’ve spent years refining my style to ensure it’s consistent, timeless, and true to who you are as a couple. My approach blends documentary wedding photography with an editorial edge, capturing natural, candid moments as they happen — while still delivering those must-have portraits in a stylish and relaxed way.
I’m passionate about creating images that feel authentic and stand the test of time. I don’t follow short-lived editing trends or TikTok-style filters — I focus on storytelling through natural, emotive wedding photography. My goal is to give you a gallery full of genuine moments that reflect the atmosphere and emotion of your day.
During your wedding, I work in a relaxed, unobtrusive way — capturing everything from the big moments to the quiet glances. When it’s time for your portraits, I’ll gently guide you to create editorial-style images that feel natural and effortless. You’ll never be made to feel stiff or awkward — just comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
My editing style focuses on rich tones and natural colours — timeless, not trendy. Every wedding gallery takes hours of care and attention to edit, and I pride myself on delivering professional, high-quality work that reflects your day and my unique style as a wedding photographer.
If you’re looking for a documentary-style wedding photographer in Yorkshire, the UK, or even abroad, I’d love to hear about your plans.
My Journey Into Wedding Photography
I’m based in North Leeds, and my love for photography began in my late teens. What started as a creative hobby quickly turned into a lifelong passion.
I originally started out as a wildlife photographer, capturing animals in their natural environment — and I absolutely loved it. I was lucky enough to have my work published online and featured in various wildlife magazines and newspapers. It taught me how to be patient, observant, and to always anticipate that one perfect moment — skills that now play a huge part in how I capture weddings.
Over time, I explored model and commercial photography, which helped me develop a strong sense of composition, light, and storytelling. But it wasn’t until I photographed my first wedding that everything clicked (literally and figuratively!).
Being a professional wedding photographer is by far the most fulfilling part of my journey. There’s something truly special about documenting a couple’s big day — the emotion, the excitement, the joy — and knowing those images will be cherished for generations. It’s an incredible privilege, and I feel genuinely lucky to do what I do.
