Chris photographed our small wedding in Leyburn and was absolutely fantastic. We were fairly laid back and trusted his expertise opinion on the best shots and we were not disappointed with the results. He came well prepared with a range of equipment (including wellies and black bags!) That was necessary for a wet Yorkshire afternoon. Would recommend him, very professional, a nice chap and he turned our photographs around within a day. I have attached a low resolution version of one of his photos, image quality was much higher that Chris sent More...

We were looking for a photographer for our wedding at the Devonshire Arms Hotel in Bolton Abbey and Chris was our top choice. His page looked great and had plenty of experience and many great reviews online. From the moment we contacted Chris he was quick to respond, listened to our ideas & plans for the day and was very helpful. On the day Chris was professional, but also friendly and relaxed. He scouted the location when he got there to find his own spots to take our photos as well as accommodating our choices of photos and locations. I would definitely use Chris anytime and would recommend him to anyone. We are very pleased with the photos he took for our special day. More...

Wedding Photography

Chris was very amenable from the start. We booked Chris during lockdown and from our first chat via email to the wedding day Chris delivered everything and more than we expected. We met him once before the big day to look around the venue. He had some ideas but was willing to listen and take on board what we wanted too. We only wanted 20 staged photos and left the rest for Chris to take as he wanted. We ended up with 667 photos telling a story of our wedding day from the beginning to our first dance. We hardly knew Chris was there taking photos. He was unobtrusive but friendly. The guests commented on how friendly he was too. We would highly recommend Chris. Jan & Chris Wiseman More...

I’m a journalist and was recommended to Chris’s work by a colleague who was familiar with his stuff. I actually needed someone to take pictures at our wedding but I wanted a less formal approach and being a journo I also wanted to put work to a fellow ‘news bod’. From the first contact, I knew we had made the right move in getting Chris on board. He was easy to communicate with, knew what we were looking for and after our first meeting with him we knew that he was right for what we wanted. On the day of our wedding he couldn’t do enough for us in terms of making people relaxed for the photos and he certainly captured the essence of our special day. The photos he took were absolutely outstanding and we will have a difficult job choosing those we want to put in an album. We were so impressed with Chris’s work and his professionalism and have no hesitation in recommending him. I hope I can work with him again professionally in the not too distant future too. More...

We asked Chris to take family photos as a brthday present. He was fantastic to work with and made the session really easy and fun. What stunning photos as a result. He caught the magic of our garden and house but most of all the family feel in a relaxed way. We cannot fault the quality of his work and have been mightily impressed. A huge recommendation from us!

Chris was very professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

Chris did our wedding last year, and we were thrilled by the results, literally hundreds of pictures showcasing our day. Not only did he capture candid moments with our friends and family but the staged photographs showed a different aspect than the traditional photographs you might expect. His work ethic was amazing, and was so unintrusive throughout the entire day. We took him up on his offer to drive us into Durham for some pictures overlooking the Cathedral, which was going the extra mile. Thanks for your work Chris, truly inspiring. More...

Property Photography

Chris was great. Really easy to communicate with and very flexible over the photos. He was also really patient with me when I couldn't upload them 'cos I'm a muppet with a computer.

Don't hesitate to book him.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding than Chris. Despite horrendous weather and difficult lighting conditions Chris has produced a perfect set of photos. Both the posed and candid photos are wonderful. Chris was a pleasure to work with - he made us feel at ease and he blended in so well people didn't notice he was there, meaning the photos are so natural. He met us at the venue a month or so before the wedding to do a recce, worked unbelievably hard on the day and we received the photos less than a week after the wedding. Thank you so much Chris!

On the day he was so professional and he did the best job of finding the greatest shots and made it so easy and enjoyable for us to have our photos taken! We got the photos sent over after only a few days and we are beyond thrilled with the results. We can’t wait to show everyone! Massive thanks to Chris for capturing our special day! More...

Chris recently took photos at our wedding and we are absolutely delighted with the results. During the ceremony he has captured some very natural shots and we didn't even notice he was there. Chris guided us during the group shots/bride & groom shots and and ensured we got the best photographs possible. He was the total professional and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Chris, he has given us lasting memories of our special day. More...

Chris shot our Slaley Hall wedding. His professionalism, workrate and dedication were second to none.
As a journalist, I work with photographers and Chris is without a doubt one of the best I've met.
His eye for a photograph is unmatched. His artistic shots were beautiful, but it was his natural shots perfectly captured everyone's face and the mood of the day, and they made our wedding.
And the biggest compliment I could personally pay to him is that I barely noticed he was there. There was no fussing, but managed to put everyone's minds at ease when he did need to organise group shots.
I honestly couldn't be happier with what Chris did. The pictures came back last week and we have not stopped looking at them.
Chris truly is a master of his craft, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second in recommending him to anybody - in fact, I already have.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. We barely knew he was there from the moment he arrived and he spent the whole day capturing amazing moments between us and our guests that have been wonderful to look back on and remember once the whirlwind had died down!
Lots of people commented on how great he was on the day - being completely calm and patiently directing people to get the best posed shots. His pictures really sum up the day as a whole, capturing the fun and emotion, and we were given such a huge selection of fantastic pictures it has been impossible so far to pick out our favourites as we love them all.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris, especially if you like having the relaxed, documentary style pictures of the real memories of the day. He is professional but approachable and friendly and fitted into the day seamlessly.

Chris beautifully captured our special day and I wouldn’t think twice about recommending him to other couples looking for photographs which will be treasured for years to come.

Having worked with Chris professionally for almost a decade we were fully aware of his expertise and he was the obvious choice to photograph our wedding day. We wanted our photos to be a candid, natural portrayal of the day and he was able to bring his many years of experience as an award-winning press photographer to bear in fulfilling this brief perfectly. He captured the anticipation, love and excitement of the ceremony and reception in a unique and refreshing manner - making the perfect memento of a very special day. More...

Having previously worked with Chris on a professional basis, I already knew just how talented a photographer he was. He was our first and only choice for our wedding. Chris’ photographs really capture the raw emotions, reactions and feelings of the day. Some of my favourite pictures are the reactions of our guests and myself during the speeches - they are so natural and really do encapsulate the moment. Chris is so professional in his work. He met with us at our venue beforehand and listened to all the things we wanted; he shared his advice and experience with us so we could get the best photographs possible. Many of our guests commented on how polite and professional Chris was; his brilliant sense of humour also added to the exciting ‘getting ready’ atmosphere beforehand and the bridal party loved having him around. Chris was more than happy to take the ‘traditional and formal’ shots we wanted but then took hundreds of natural photos which really do capture the essence of the day. I couldn’t believe how quickly we got our photographs back. Chris personally delivered the pictures to us within days of the wedding and we had hundreds of gorgeous photographs to pick from. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris and we thank him very much! More...

We have both been lucky enough to work with a large number of talented and dedicated photographers during our working lives. Chris was always our number one choice of wedding photographer. The fact that we didn't even consider asking anyone else to do the job is a measure of how highly we think of him. We probably weren't the most demanding wedding clients a photographer has ever had, but we still had high expectations and Chris managed to surpass them, from going through our requirements with us in advance, to the day itself and the straightforward and speedy way the images were supplied afterwards. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris. His images really capture the mood of our special day. We have recommended his services at every opportunity since our wedding in late 2013 and will continue to do so. More...

We can't thank Chris enough for our beautiful wedding pictures. From getting ready early on the morning to late-night dancing and everything in between, Chris captured everything we wanted him to and so much more. We asked for natural shots and Chris caught every single one of those perfect moments for us to look back on and treasure. We are so lucky and grateful to have so many photos from such a special day. They bring back so many lovely memories and we are so thankful that Chris agreed to be a part of our big day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris, he is a true professional and we will absolutely be using him again in the future. Thank you Chris. More...

Q&As

The ability to capture the moment which should involve emotion, be that in the content of the image, for the person looking at the image or preferably both.

What are the aims of your project and what do you want to convey from a photographic stand point?

I love to be creative and enable others to see my view of life from what I see through my lens. I also love to meet new and interesting people and the opportunities that my profession has given me over the years.

Along with colleagues I was made redundant from my staff photographer position on a newspaper which forced me into working for myself. That said, I am enjoying the new and exciting opportunities that have opened up to me as a result of my change in circumstances.

I am creative and skilled in my ability to capture good images which has meant that I have either won or been shortlisted for several photographic awards over the years. I am also friendly and amicable in nature which has led to people telling me that I am very easy to work with.

Services

I have many years of experience of taking all kinds of photos in all conditions, from critical moments of sports matches, political and royal visits and one off moments during a wedding to posed portrait shots and organised groups.

I have a full understanding of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom editing software packages enabling me to make slight tweaks to images to give them that extra punch.

A have a basic understanding of the skills of filming and I am able to put together basic interviews and TV news-style clips with quality audio.
