I’m Dave Spink — a Leeds wedding photographer and videographer who believes every wedding deserves a true-to-life story. With more than 3,000 weddings captured across the UK, my approach centres on relaxed, natural storytelling and cinematic portraits that let your day breathe. I pride myself on discreet coverage: I blend into the background to catch the unscripted smiles, fleeting glances and small details that become the memories you’ll return to again and again. Why choose me? My work balances documentary honesty with moments of crafted beauty. I guide couples gently rather than stage them, creating a calm space even when nerves run high. Whether it’s a quiet first look, the emotion of a parent’s reaction, or the energy on the dancefloor, I focus on authenticity — combined with cinematic framing and lighting that lift your images and films beyond the ordinary. Working with my team is straightforward and un-fussy. We start with a friendly chat to understand your day, priorities and locations. From there I help plan timings to maximise natural light and reduce interruptions, leaving you free to enjoy your guests. On the wedding day we work unobtrusively, stepping forward when portraits or key moments require a little direction, then stepping back to let the story unfold. Videography sits alongside my photography as a core service. My wedding films are crafted to feel personal and cinematic — not staged highlight reels but honest edits that reflect your personalities and atmosphere. I aim for films that transport you back to the feelings of the day, with careful sound design and storytelling that complements the photographs. I also photograph engagement and bridal sessions as part of my wedding service, a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to create beautiful images before the big day. Delivery is practical and friendly: your images and films are presented with minimum fuss so you can relive the moments without delay. Based in Leeds and working UK‑wide, I’m focused on giving couples reassuring, professional coverage that feels personal. If you want natural wedding photography and cinematic films handled with care and creativity, let’s talk and see how we can tell your story together.
