Hi, I’m David — a documentary wedding photographer based in Kippax, close to Leeds. Weddings are my focus and my favourite kind of storytelling: fast-paced, honest and full of emotion. I aim to create relaxed, natural wedding photos that feel like you — not awkward poses, but real moments recorded as they happen. My approach is simple. I watch for the details, the small gestures and the spontaneous interactions that make each day unique. Over more than a decade working with couples I’ve learned how to blend into the background so you can enjoy your day while I capture it. Couples who tell me they’re camera-shy often become some of my favourite subjects — I use a gentle, conversational style to help people feel comfortable and enjoy the moment rather than perform for the camera. I love photographing weddings across Yorkshire and beyond. From rustic barns and restored mills to garden ceremonies and marquee celebrations, I seek out the light, texture and atmosphere that help build memorable images. The county’s variety of landscapes — from the Dales to historic estate houses — gives every wedding a different story to tell, and I work with whatever the day brings, whether golden-hour fields or intimate indoor light. Working with me is collaborative and low-pressure. I get to know you before the day with a relaxed chat so I understand what matters most to you. On the wedding day I keep things unobtrusive, focused on emotion and flow, and I aim to create a gallery that reflects the true spirit of your celebration. I’m passionate about printed, tactile keepsakes too — photography is meant to be lived with, not just scrolled past — and I can help you turn your images into heirloom pieces. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer in Kippax and Yorkshire who values documentary honesty, creative composition and a calm, friendly presence on the day, I’d love to hear about your plans. Tell me about your day and let me be your storyteller.
