Chris Thornton Photography, Wedding Photographer in West Yorkshire

About Chris Thornton Photography

Photographing weddings is my passion. I’ve photographed over 380 weddings all around the UK and beyond. I love that each and every wedding I photograph is different. I love that each part of the day has it’s own set of emotions. The nerves, the excitement, the tears, the laughter, the craziness, the love. My wedding style is a mix of documentary; capturing the day naturally and creating some stand out, one of a kind pictures that are unique to each couple.

Everything We Wanted!

Chris captured our wedding day perfectly. The photo album and wedding highlights video are just amazing. We have watched he highlights video several times and been transported back to our special day. We found Chris through a recommendation from our venue, Ripley Castle and we could not be more grateful for it. Chris has the perfect personality for this job. He has the right mix of being sociable, focused, calm and creative. He literally jumped over walls to get the perfect shots! We highly recommend Chris and would definitely reach out to him again :) - Jim & Catherine

Memories to treasure a lifetime!

Chris was our wedding photographer in May 2024 at Ripley Castle. We decided to go for the “I want it all package” and that was definitely the right decision! We were absolutely blown away by the quality of pictures received and we have displayed them all around our house. We get compliments every time we have a visitor round. The wooden keepsake USB and 50 page alum album were just the icing on the cake. Chris was very knowledgeable on the day and knew all the perfect locations at the venue to get the best shots. I am not the most photogenic person, but myself and partner felt very natural and at ease when having pictures done. 10/10 would recommend!! - Simon & Victoria

The best day of our lives!

If there was 1 thing that we weren’t going to compromise on for our wedding it was going to be the photographer! After lots of research we chose Chris to capture our special day and he did not disappoint! All of our photographs are stunning, he captured the day so perfectly and his attention to detail is second to none. Not only is he amazing at what he does, he is such a lovely guy too. If you are questioning whether to book him for your special day then just book! You won’t regret it! - Alice
