1. SKL Photography
Serviced Area: Leed
Contact Details: 07766 515801
Operating Hours: Daily – 9 am to 9 pm
The number of couples thanking SKL Photography should be enough to give you an idea of their standard. They’re backed by years of experience, having started in 2009.
The company’s service range is also massive, with packages for all sorts of budgets and requests. From engagement shoots to drone photography, and even album options like acrylic or digital-only collections, they have it.
What really stands out, though, is their ability to capture the most enchanting, raw wedding moments.
On the customer service front, there’s rarely any snag. Rebecca and her team are easy-going and patient, from the first meeting to the wedding day.
One hiccup though is they can get fully booked, especially during the summer and on weekends. Also, most of their packages are fixed, so if you’re after more flexibility, that could be a bit limiting.
Captured Our Day Beautifully
‘What a fantastic experience we have had with skl photography, from first contact via emails, booking then, organising our pre wedding photo shoot, and then to our special day. Simon and Rebecca are lovely down to earth people. They put is at ease, it does seem strange at first as were not a public affectionate couple. Our guests loved you we’ve had lots of comments about our fantastic photographers. They’ve captured our day so beautifully. As a plus size bride i was worried but i look beautiful, you captured lots of the day that obviously i didn’t see, there are lovely candid pictures as well as the formal ones in black and white and in colour. we were also luck enough to have drone footage too. You captured the true essence of our day. I cannot thank you both enough and i will recommend skl photography to everyone. Thank you both for an incredible experience.’

Fantastic, Down to Earth, and Didn’t Miss a Single Aspect
‘Having SKL as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! They are fantastic, down to earth, and didn’t miss a single aspect of our day. The photos they captured are amazing and we can’t stop looking at them, they caught our day perfectly and we can’t thank them though! We highly recommend hiring SKL for your wedding!’

2. Peter Rollings Photography
Address: 14 Milton Dr, Scholes
Contact Details: 07733 290379
Operating Hours: Daily – 8 am to 10 pm
Peter Rollings Photography has been around for over 20 years, and it’s no wonder they’re still going strong.
Their main selling point is capturing candid, natural shots that are breathtaking. Their seasoned team achieves this by ensuring everyone on the wedding day is at ease.
Speaking of the team, expect them to work closely with you, making sure every shot is tailored to your vision.
Service-wise, they’ll handle pretty much anything, too. This includes family portraits, pre-wedding shots, individual portraits, and even pet photos.
Partnerships with top wedding venues, like Allerton Castle, are another perk. This shows their familiarity with such locations, ensuring they know the best angles and areas to highlight.
On the flip side, they don’t offer drone services, and their availability can be limited.
Attention to Detail Was Amazing
‘Peter was absolutely fabulous to work with. We met him at a wedding fair and he had so much knowledge of our venue. We knew just from chatting to him for a few minutes we would get on with him well (very important as we would be spending most of our day with him) and it’s so hard not to, he is so lovely and professional. We were so pleased with the outcome and quality of our pictures. He did an amazing job of not only capturing the formal pictures we wanted but also natural, candid shots of our guests! His attention to detail was amazing!Thank you Peter’

Made Us Feel So Comfortable and at Ease
‘Peter got recommended to us by a friend and he was brilliant from start to finish. Like all wedding packages we had an engagement shoot, neither my husband and I are the type of people who ’like’ having our photo taken so we were a bit nervous about having a photo shoot. He was fantastic – made us feel so comfortable and at ease and he was great with our daughter and dog who came along too. The wedding day came by and I can’t sing peters praises enough Despite the weather being terrible and all the photo opportunities pretty much gone due to this, plus having limited space indoors!! He still managed to get loads of images of our day and guests which are great. Thanks for everything Peter, would recommend to anyone.’

3. Richard Wilson Photography
Address: Studio One, 5 Lower Briggate
Contact Details: 0113 274 4669
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Thu – 9 am to 7:30 pm
- Fri to Sat – 10 am to 4 pm
If contemporary, relaxed shots are your thing, Richard Wilson Photography is the one to choose. They’ve been around for over 17 years, with 750+ weddings in their portfolio,
Their packages, starting at £449, are also flexible enough for any time frame, from 2-hour sessions to full-day marathons. Plus, you’ll get all the high-resolution results on a USB flash drive.
Albums and extras are customisable, too. Simple ones start at £250, but you can level up the enchantment with options like the Italian leather Graphistudio storybook album.
The catch is they close shop on Sundays, unlike most names here. Also, drone services aren’t available as of January 2025.
But overall, Richard Wilson is a terrific option, with clients praising their laid-back style, professionalism, quick responses, and respect for the client’s preferences!
Absolute Perfection
‘Richard did the photos for our wedding and I can’t recommend him enough.
He was super friendly and easygoing, made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. It was a bit of a non conventional wedding and he was so chill, went with the flow of everything and we had such a good laugh with him.
The wedding guests all complimented his professionalism and kindness afterwards.
As for the photos, they are absolute perfection and just as we wanted.
Thank you SO much, Richard! You’re a legend!’

4. Dave Spink Photography – Leeds
Address: 114 Fartown, Pudsey
Contact Details: 0113 255 2056
Operating Hours: Mon to Sat – 11 am to 6 pm
Founded in 2009, Dave Spink Photography knows how to turn genuine moments into art. Most clients we chatted with praised how this photographer’s natural, documentary-style shots brought their wedding’s intimacy to life.
Their wedding films are equally impressive—cinematic without feeling staged, with emphasis on heartfelt, candid moments.
In terms of service range, the company offers traditional and unique offerings. Think pre-wedding shoots, bespoke albums, high-res photos, and audiobooks.
Their distinctive touch, though, is having ‘Magic Mirrors’ on offer, which are interactive booths with customisable backdrops and personalised messages. But if that’s too pricey or just not your thing, traditional and 360-degree ones are available, too.
However, there are a few gripes to note: reports of less-than-friendly customer service and their Sunday closure.
Worked Incredibly Well
‘We hired David Spink for our videographer at our wedding on 30.12.2024 and we couldn’t recommend them enough. Dave and Emma both attended and exceeded all expectations. They worked incredibly well with our photographer, working together to get the best shots for both our photos and videos. They were both kind and made us all feel at ease whilst making sure they captured our day the best they could. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting us on them either, noticing how seamless their work was. We would without a doubt recommend them!’

A Vital Part of Making Our Special Day Complete
‘We couldn’t recommend Dave highly enough for the photography on our wedding day at Thorpe Park Hotel on 23rd August – Dave was professional, down to earth and made everyone feel completely at ease on what can be a pretty intense occasion! Dave had plenty of time for everyone and to take all the staged photos we wanted as well as plenty of gorgeous candid shots. He really knows his stuff and we honestly couldn’t be happier with Dave as our photographer. He was a vital part of making our special day complete! Thanks Dave!’

5. 123 Photography
Address: 21 Tavistock Cl
Contact Details: 07950 241918
Operating Hours: Daily – 12 am to 11 pm
Calling 123 Photography has been in the business since 2001. Their portfolio boasts creative shots, including ones that feature light drawings and dramatic fireworks against pitch-black backdrops.
They also offer unique themes, such as black and white or vintage wedding photography. It’s a retro-ish approach, sans the grainy, outdated effect.
Despite the ‘fixed’ themes, the process is still a team effort, as the clients we talked to mentioned. The team listens to input and offers their own stylistic recommendations, from poses to designs to incorporate into your albums.
It can be a challenge to lock them down, though, since their team is often in demand. Plus, there are no drone services, so don’t expect any aerial shots.
On the plus side, their prices are some of this list’s most budget-friendly, and they do slideshows, which are more affordable than pure videos!
All of the Photos Turned Out Beautiful
‘Where to start! From the moment we met Dan, we knew instantly that we were in the best hands. Dan was so professional and captured every moment of our special day. He managed to get photos of every single person who attended and included some beautiful family and extended family photos that we are so grateful to have. He has a vision like no other and we really enjoyed working with him on the day and trusting his process for the “fun” photographs (especially the bride squad in bed photos!!) All of the photos turned out beautiful and he was super quick to get the photos over to us and has accommodated us the entire way through. Thank you so much Dan, we’re so lucky to have had you on the day!’

Very Easy Going, Discreet and Gave Great Photo Suggestions
‘We booked Dan for our Wedding in Lanzarote at the beginning of October, and what a pleasure it was! The photos turned out incredible, capturing every moment from tears to laughter and everything in-between. Dan was very easy going, discreet and gave great photo suggestions. Thanks again Dan, Gio & Nat ☺️’
