Chris Chambers – Wedding Photographer

Yorkshire’s Most Awarded Wedding Photographer

I’m not normally one to be this side of the camera!

I’m Chris Chambers, a multi-award-winning Yorkshire wedding photographer based in Castleford, near Leeds and Wakefield, photographing weddings across Yorkshire, the UK and beyond. My approach blends relaxed documentary coverage with beautifully crafted portraits, so you get natural moments, real emotion and all the little in-between details that make your wedding day uniquely yours. 

For most couples, being photographed all day can feel like a slightly daunting thought. That’s why I work in a calm, friendly and unobtrusive way, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. I’ll quietly capture the atmosphere, emotion and moments as they happen, while also creating the kind of striking, memorable images you’ll want to look back on for years.

Over the years, I’ve photographed weddings at some of Yorkshire’s best-known venues and at hundreds of venues across the UK. From grand country houses and castles to relaxed outdoor celebrations and elegant city weddings, experience has taught me how to work quickly, adapt to any weather or lighting, and make the most of every setting. Whether your day is intimate and understated or full of big energy and drama, my aim is always the same: to tell the story of your wedding honestly and beautifully. 

Away from weddings, photography has been part of my life from an early age. Before specialising in weddings, I spent years photographing for magazines and websites, including work connected to aviation — a long-standing passion of mine. Even now, when I’m not photographing weddings, I still love getting out with the camera to photograph landscapes, wildlife and, occasionally, aircraft. That love of light, atmosphere and timing still shapes the way I photograph weddings today. 

I’m married and have two children, so I understand how important family, connection and shared memories become over time. Weddings aren’t just about how the day looks — they’re about the people in it, the relationships, the emotions and the moments you’ll want to remember long after the day itself has passed. That’s what I’m always looking for when I photograph a wedding.

If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a photographer who will put you at ease, capture the day naturally, and create images with real impact, I’d love to hear more about your plans.
