About
Hi, I’m Leigh, a wedding photographer from the seaside town of Kilkeel. I picked up my first camera at 14, originally as a way to get into concerts thanks to my love of music. I grew up playing drums in punk and metal bands, and when I wasn’t on stage, my camera was my way into the gig.
I’m married to my wife Rachel, and together we have three amazing kids, Henry, Ivy and Robyn, plus a very large dog called Juno. I’m also addicted to running, so apologies in advance when it sneaks into conversation more than once.
Rachel and I got married in 2018 in her parents’ front garden, which means I genuinely understand what couples go through when planning a wedding. I shot my first wedding in 2010 and have since photographed over 400 weddings across some of the most beautiful venues in the UK and Ireland. I treat every wedding as if it were my own, relaxed, fun, and focused on capturing exactly what matters to you (with plenty of laughs along the way).
I’m proud to be a member of two of the most respected photography associations in the UK and Ireland: PPANI and SWPP, holding an Associateship with both. I’ve been lucky enough to receive several awards for my work, which I’m incredibly grateful for, they’re a reflection of years of hard work and the trust my couples place in me.
