The Riley Shot

Scott Riley is The Riley Shot — a Huddersfield-based wedding photographer who treats every wedding as a story worth telling. Specialising in documentary-style wedding photography, Scott focuses on the small, often-overlooked moments that carry the most meaning: the squeeze of a hand, an unplanned laugh, a quiet glance. Those are the images that pull you back into the day and make your photos feel like a true memory, not just a record. Why choose The Riley Shot? Scott brings a photographer’s eye honed over years of personal projects, travel and commercial work. He values authentic, natural images over forced poses, and his approach is intentionally laid-back and unobtrusive. That calm presence lets couples enjoy their day while Scott works quietly to capture the real emotion and atmosphere — the candid exchanges, the light in a ceremony space, the little details that make your wedding unique. How Scott works with couples is simple and human. He listens first: your plans, what matters most to you, and the moments you hope to remember. On the wedding day he blends into the background to capture documentary moments, then offers gentle, relaxed direction for portraits to create beautiful, flattering images without stiffness. For couples who want it, Scott also provides engagement photography to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and build a rapport before the big day. Although weddings are the core focus, Scott’s wider creative practice — from short films to commercial shoots — keeps his visual approach fresh and thoughtful. That creative curiosity feeds back into his wedding work, helping him see unexpected compositions and tell richer stories through imagery. Based in Huddersfield and photographing across Yorkshire, Scott knows local venues, landscapes and light, making him a dependable choice for couples planning a regional wedding. His priority is always to create professional wedding photos that feel honest, timeless and personal — images you’ll return to again and again. If you value storytelling, authenticity and a relaxed, friendly photographer who cares about the memories he captures, The Riley Shot offers a focused, experienced approach to wedding and engagement photography in Huddersfield and beyond.
