Choosing a relaxed, natural, candid wedding photographer

Choosing a relaxed, natural, candid wedding photographer

30 January 2026

I love to capture the emotion and happiness of your special day.

With so many wedding photographers to choose from it can be difficult knowing where to start. My advice is to think about how you would like your wedding day to be, do you wnat to spend hours posing and being away from your guests or would you prefer to be in the moment , spend time with your loved ones , not miss out on your drinks reception and have a very real memory of special day captured by a photographer who blends into the background.

I am very much about capturing the moment, I love to capture the emotion and happiness of your special day, not just pictures of you two but also special moments of your loved ones enjoying themselves, or shedding the odd tear of happiness.

I'll still take a few portaits of the two of you, but not for hours and with no cheese ! and i'll also take a few natural , relaxed group shots, but I absolutely won't have you all stood around being bored.

I'm proud to have been Yorkshire wedding photographer of the year 3 times and also to have won the Yorkshire wedding awards for my customer service twice.

Here are just a few samples of my work but for more info please check out my website www.weddingsalive.co.uk and for my latest work please follow my socials. I look forward to hearing from you.
