Documentary Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers
YORK PLACE STUDIOS
From weddings to family life, events and beyond, we are documentary photographers and videographers celebrating the unscheduled beats and seemingly insignificant moments that tell the real stories of life through the lens.

Remember your wedding the way it felt

A Different Way of Seeing
What we do - The Art of the Unscripted
01. We Celebrate the Unscripted
We value the spontaneous and the beautifully imperfect. We believe that real memories are far more powerful than staged ones and move our feet – not yours – to capture them.
02. We Make You Look Amazing
Documentary doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty. We bring a portrait-level attention to detail to every candid moment, ensuring you look incredible without ever being staged.
03. We Document the Chemistry
Our focus is on the connections between people – the laughter, the quiet glances, and the energy of the room. We capture the people you love and the relationships you share exactly as they are.
04. We Seek the Character
We look for the quirks, the “is this something?” moments, and the unique details that make your wedding yours. We don’t follow a Pinterest template; we follow the real story.
05. We Capture it First Time
You won’t have to tie your tie a dozen times or freeze mid-action. We have the instinct and experience to capture the moment perfectly the first time it happens, without staged “re-do’s”.
06. We Keep You With Your People
We love capturing the day entirely unposed, so having portraits and groups is entirely your choice. If you do want some formal shots we keep it brief and relaxed so you can get straight back to your guests.



"They are engaged and focused on the people and the place and document the real day, the real people, the love, the laughter and the nonsense which surrounds weddings and all they entail with their own outstanding take on documentary photography. It is this expertise which makes them such astoundingly great photographers - conveying the very essence of our wedding day in film with real heart, talent and conviction. Book them today!"

Family Photography
Family life isn't neat and tidy. Everyone doesn't always look prim and proper, you don't always stand in a line smiling sweetly. Family life is playful, it's disorganised; it's about laughing from your gut and seeing magic in the mundane. Family life isn't perfect. It's so much more than that. Capture the memory, not the fairytale.

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Whether we're shooting street photography, wedding photography, family or even iPhone shots, to us there's no difference. Whatever we document, we shoot with purpose. It's not about genre, it's just photography; it's just how we see the world.

NOTHING POSED, NOTHING STAGED
THEY ARE INCREDIBLY PASSIONATE ABOUT SHOOTING WITH A TRUE DOCUMENTARY EYE. NOTHING IS STAGED OR POSED BUT STILL VERY INTENTIONAL AND CRAFTED. THEY OFTEN SHOOT WIDE AND USE LAYERS TO BUILD A SCENE AND RELAY A RICH NARRATIVE WITHIN EACH FRAME
Your wedding isn’t just a celebration of your relationship. It’s a celebration of who you are and of everybody you love. It’s not about impressing anyone, or who you can pretend to be; it’s about bringing people together, laughing hard, remembering old times and creating memories that none of you will ever forget.
