John Hope Photography

Creative wedding photography for Yorkshire, the UK and beyond

Hi! I’m a wedding photographer based in Leeds but I travel all over the UK and internationally, wherever my work takes me. I love how in a coming together of vision and technique, anything from raw energy and euphoria to complete peace and tranquility can be captured forever in the click of a shutter.

Weddings provide so many amazing, defining moments in people’s lives so it’s a truly great privilege to be chosen by my clients to record them for years and generations to come. My aim is to capture these moments in a creative, organic way. I’m not about ordering people around or directing things. But I’ll be there, unobtrusively documenting the day as it unfolds: the joy, the laughs and the tears: the story.

How would you describe your style?

I love emotions. I love passion. I love capturing those special fleeting, gone in the blink of an eye moments. I love manipulating light and shooting creatively. Through the wedding day I have an unobtrusive, story-telling approach and only really step up and 'take control' for the portraits where I'll make sure you'll get something breath-taking to hang on your wall!

What do you love about weddings?

I can't think of a more joyous occasion than a wedding! Every one is different: you get to meet some amazing people and witness the defining moments of people's lives. What a privilege that is!

What's your travel policy?

I will travel anywhere! I would much rather travel to shoot the right wedding!
