Who is Nigel Skinner?

Nigel Skinner is a professional wedding photographer based in Yorkshire, with years of experience capturing beautiful, timeless moments for couples across Bradford, York, Leeds, and Halifax.

Over the years, Nigel has worked on a wide variety of photography assignments, but it was wedding photography that truly captured his heart. Today, he specializes in documentary-style wedding photography that captures genuine emotion, candid moments, and all the meaningful details of the day.

Wedding Day Storytelling

Three women, two with red hair and one with black hair, are engaged in conversation in a living room. Two women are sitting on a beige tufted sofa, and one woman is leaning on the back of the sofa leaning forward with her hands on the furniture. They are all smiling and wearing colorful pajamas, with the two red-haired women in matching patterned pajamas and the black-haired woman in a green patterned outfit. There is a large mirror, a side table with a lamp, and a TV in the background.

Wedding day getting ready moments are often meaningful and special, adding to memories from the day.

Bridesmaids we are
