York Place Studios

read moreYork Place Studios are Dom, Liam, Alex and Matt: a multi-award winning UK based family collective of leading street documentary style wedding photographers and videographers who seek to find big stories in even the smallest of moments throughout every single stage of a wedding day. The focus of our candid wedding photography is on people and personality, seeking to create lasting memories with connection, humour, life and atmosphere, just the way it felt to be there. Put simply, as documentary wedding photographers our main focus is on capturing real, candid moments throughout every part of the wedding day without posing or directing you in any way.

The mission of York Place Studios is not just to exceed your expectations of what wedding photography and videography should be, it's to exceed your imagination of what it even can be.

The song, the dance, the excitement and exuberance, Jewish weddings are truly the most joyous of celebrations. The euphoric smashing of the glass, the exhilaration of the dance floor. The ancient and the contemporary, the traditional and the unexpected. Jewish weddings are simply extraordinary and their countless moments should never be missed.

Whether we're shooting weddings, lifestyle photography or a family holiday, our work is all about connections between people, and nowhere are those connections stronger than between family. Our family photography reimagines what a family album can be, ensuring that no family member is hidden behind the camera all day and that your memories are captured not just as snapshots but as pieces of art that can be framed and mounted in your home or collated into one of our extra special custom family albums.

We pored over them, carefully turning each page and feeling the quality of the print. We lost ourselves in them for hours imagining what was happening in these moments and treated them as a work of art, as our most valued possession.

It's how we learn about our great-grandparents, how we remember loved ones, how we record key moments in our family life. But what if the photographs didn't just remind us of how our family looked or where we'd been, but actually showed us a little of their personality? What if instead of everyone doing their best to smile as they stand in a carefully orchestrated line in front of a landmark, the photographs showed the real stories behind that day and those precious memories?
