About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: October 2024

Hi, I’m Scott, a professional wedding photographer based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. I cover the whole of the UK, but if you're in Leeds, West Yorkshire or Greater Manchester or the city, you're practically in my backyard! I specialise in capturing those real, candid moments that make your day unforgettable (and your grandma’s dance moves legendary).

My secret? I blend in like a guest with a camera, making everyone relaxed, which means better, more natural photos. Plus, I’m not one to leave things hanging—I’m all about speed. Expect a few sneak peeks of your favorite shots for social media on the day, and a full gallery delivered within 14 days (yes, really!).

I also offer a music showreel of your best moments and a private gallery where you, your family, and friends can easily purchase prints. Need video too? I’ve got some talented videographers I work with, so you’re fully covered.

My main goal is to make sure you can relax, have fun, and know the job’s in safe hands—while I capture all the magic. Let’s make your wedding photos something to remember!

We recommend Scott :D

From the word go, Scott reassured us that he would do a great job and he did, our guests loved him too, by the end of it my cousin was sad to see him go haha. We recieved our images within the week which was surprising but the quality was so high

I can't express how happy we are with our pictures

Scott was really helpful before, and during the wedding he was all over the place like a ninja, what he managed to capture throughout the day was incredible. I hope I don't get married again but if I do, I will be calling Scott

Well recommended A+++

We found Scott, as a local photographer who offers a 2 hour package just to cover the core service. He gave us lots of time to discuss our needs and on the day he was relaxed and professional, the results were amazing, he really captured the most important bits well.
