Lindsey and Euan are getting married in Leeds City Centre in a few short weeks so we took a turn around the city for their engagement shoot to get them in the mood for their big-day wedding photos!
Yesterday, Anna & Jon got married. Here’s photographic proof.
nice guys!
We have just been voted by the public as one of the TOP 100 WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE WORLD in the Wedding Industry Experts 2013 Awards. This is a truly amazing result for us and we couldn’t be happier. We’re about to get on our metaphorical podium now and take our little trophy and say a little acceptance speech so bear with us…
We’ve been doing this wedding biz for three years now since our first tentative steps into the world of weddings. The first wedding we shot [HERE] we had never in fact even been to a wedding before, so it was a brand new game to us! Slowly the business grew and we hung out more with clients and our little business became a bigger business but it all felt natural. We never pushed anything, we just let people come in, meet us, we chatted, we drank tea, we laughed, we took photos. We had fun. The whole business has always been about people and fun, never about how big we can get or about the cash dollar$. We’re only now realising that’s the best part about who we are as a wedding photography team – we’re a couple of people persons who make people who are at their most nervous and stressed feel totally at ease and relaxed and have fun doing it… and we built a business around that.
Thank you to everyone who we now call friends from the past three years and here’s to the sunny path ahead.

Paul & Jo’s wedding is going to be a big one for us. You see, even though we shoot weddings every weekend throughout the year we can still get nervous, it keeps us on our toes… it’s a good thing. We get butterflies in our tummies sometimes when we’ve been so excited to work at a particular venue for so long and the date finally comes along and today’s the day we have to make it look amazing. It’s a big thing! But Paul and Jo’s wedding is a bit of a different kinda ‘big thing’ for us. One of the biggest honours you can receive in the wedding photography game isn’t an award or an accolade, it’s being asked to photograph another wedding photographer’s wedding. Paul is the Stott of Stott and Atkinson Photography. Phew, big thing! But when talking to Jo about the details of their day and knowing she is the brains and talent behind the amazing Jodie Anna we know that this is, after all, a beautiful wedding that we’re going to love and we’re there to document these two and their families coming together to celebrate into the night… it’s what we do best.
Earlier this week we took a road trip across to Whitby and got down to some serious fun around the beach and back alleys of the little seaside town. But we kicked off (and ended) our tour at the quirky little vintage cafe and B&B La Rosa for some chat and easing-in photos. Enjoy.
We began Vikki & Tim’s intimate day with a ‘first look’ between just Vikki and Tim. As they’d always planned to walk down the aisle together it seemed like a perfect opportunity to get the moment where they see each other for the first time before they head off to the registry office – so that’s what we did. In the lovely Hotel Du Vin in the centre of Harrogate, Tim waited patiently at the bottom of the stairs for Vikki to come down with smiles beaming and off we went to get some lovely portraits around the town before heading off to get married.
Once we finally got to Harrogate Registry Office (after using two phones to help us find our way!) we had a slow walk back into town and had short toasts and afternoon tea at Betty’s Tea Rooms in the centre of Harrogate followed by the ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaahs’ of the public queuing outside as we were ushered in upstairs to the Imperial Room, finger sandwiches n’ all!
