Altered Images Full Description

Yorkshire wedding photography for elegant, contemporary weddings

Altered Images is a Yorkshire wedding photography studio creating elegant, natural and timeless imagery for couples marrying across Yorkshire and beyond.

Our work combines a documentary approach with an editorial eye, capturing the people, atmosphere and emotion that make every wedding uniquely yours. From the anticipation of the morning to the celebrations long into the evening, we tell the complete story of your day with imagery that feels refined, personal and effortlessly natural.

Beautifully composed, naturally observed

We believe the most meaningful photographs aren't always staged. They're the fleeting glances, quiet moments, laughter between friends and the people you love most gathered together in one place.

Alongside these naturally observed moments, we'll create beautifully considered portraits that feel relaxed and authentic — photographs you'll be proud to have on your walls for years to come.

Our aim is simple: to create photographs that don't just show what your wedding looked like, but transport you back to how it felt.

Present when needed, invisible when not

Your wedding day should be about celebrating, not spending hours being photographed.

We'll give you gentle guidance when it's needed, particularly for your couple portraits, while allowing the rest of your celebration to unfold naturally. Our experience means we know when to step in, when to guide you and when to quietly capture what's happening around you.

We're there to put you at ease, help things run smoothly and capture the moments you might otherwise have missed — without taking you away from the people and moments that matter.

Your story, beautifully preserved

Every wedding is different, which is why we take the time to understand what matters most to you.

Our wedding collections are designed around complete, thoughtful storytelling, with options including full-day photography, additional coverage, engagement photography and beautifully crafted albums and artwork.

Your photographs are carefully edited and presented in a secure, personalised online gallery, making it easy to revisit and share your images wherever you are. For couples who want something tangible to treasure, we also offer beautifully made albums and printed artwork designed to be enjoyed for generations.

Experience you can trust

Altered Images brings together decades of photography experience with a fresh, considered approach to every wedding we photograph. Our work has been recognised with awards including Best Photographer at the I Do Awards and Best Wedding Business by Three Best Rated.

We're also a husband-and-husband team, so we understand the importance of choosing photographers you genuinely feel comfortable having alongside you throughout your wedding day.

Having planned and celebrated our own wedding at Rudding Park, we know how much thought goes into creating a day that feels completely yours. Our role is to photograph it beautifully while making sure you can be fully present in it.

From intimate celebrations to grand weddings at Yorkshire's country houses, historic venues and elegant hotels, we'll create a collection of photographs that tells the story of your day with elegance, warmth and an editorial eye.

Because your wedding photographs aren't simply about remembering what your day looked like.

They're about preserving how it felt.

Altered Images were amazing
Robert and Michele were amazing. We booked them for our beauty and the beast themed wedding. They arrived early and set up and were ready for us. They were both very easy to talk to; very easy going; great insight and attention to detail was superb. Thank you for your services and thank you for making our day extra special

Our wedding photos are beautiful...
The service we got was second to none. Right from the first meeting we knew we were going to get top quality. Our wedding photos are beautiful, presented in the best album I have ever seen. These people are the loveliest you could ever hope to meet. To be honest, we expected the quality we got to be a lot more expensive. We could not be happier - highly recommended.

First class service from a brilliant company.
Our wedding photo album arrived and we could not be happier with it - the images are amazing quality. And as for the service we had on the day itself we really cannot recommend the company enough. Thoroughly professional without being intrusive- the only problem is I can only give them 5 stars!

All the guests commented how professional.
On Saturday 29th of July, Michele came to photograph our wedding . We are both in complete awe as to how amazingly professional she was . From the minute she arrived she went above and beyond . She assisted with the 4 young children we had to get ready and even helped with my dress and shoes . Michele arrived at the church and helped the groom with the button holes . All of my guests commented on her professionalism and we would both like to thank her for going above and beyond to capture our amazing photos. xxx

Love my pictures and service we got...
Love my pictures and the service we got. Very professional and Robert was able to suggest things to us as we hadn't a clue!! For me who wasn't comfortable with the whole 'being in front of the camera' he made us relax and look great and took loads of cracking pictures - exactly what I wanted and more. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your photography style?

Our approach combines natural documentary photography with an editorial eye. We want your photographs to feel elegant, timeless and beautifully composed, while still feeling like your wedding and the people who shared it with you.

Much of the day is photographed as it naturally unfolds — the laughter, reactions, quiet moments and unexpected things that make your celebration unique. When it comes to your couple portraits, we'll give you gentle guidance and direction so you never feel left wondering what to do.

The result is a collection of photographs that feels natural and effortless, but beautifully considered.

We're nervous about having our photographs taken. Will you help us?

Absolutely. Most couples tell us they're not used to being in front of a camera, and you don't need to be.

Our job is to make you feel comfortable, not turn your wedding day into a photoshoot. We'll get to know you before the wedding and give you as much guidance as you need. There's no expectation to perform or spend the day posing for photographs.

When we're creating your portraits, we'll gently guide you into beautiful light and natural positions, then give you space to relax and be yourselves.

Often, the best photographs happen when you forget the camera is there.

How involved will you be on the wedding day?

That depends on what's happening.

We'll be there when you need us - helping organise family photographs, gently guiding you during portraits and making sure we capture the important moments - but we also know when to step back.

The majority of your day should be spent enjoying your wedding, not being directed around it. We work quietly and unobtrusively for much of the celebration, allowing real moments to unfold naturally.

How long will you be with us on our wedding day?

Our collections are designed around telling the complete story of your wedding day.

Full-day coverage allows us to capture the anticipation of the morning, the ceremony, time with your family and friends, your portraits and the celebrations as the evening begins. We also offer additional coverage for longer days or couples who would like us to stay later into the celebrations.

We'll talk through your plans with you and help make sure the coverage suits the rhythm of your day.

Do we need two photographers?

Not every wedding needs a second photographer, but for some celebrations it can add another valuable perspective.

A second photographer can be particularly useful for larger weddings, when preparations are taking place in different locations, or when you'd like more comprehensive coverage of your guests and celebrations.

We'll happily talk through your plans and give you honest advice about whether we think a second photographer would add value to your wedding.

How many photographs will we receive?

Every wedding is different, so we don't believe in reducing your memories to a fixed number of photographs.

We carefully select and edit the images that best tell the complete story of your day. You'll receive a generous collection of finished photographs, including the important moments you expect and the smaller moments you may not have seen.

Our focus is always on quality and storytelling rather than delivering hundreds of near-identical images simply to reach a number.

How will we receive and share our photographs?

Your finished photographs will be delivered through your own private online gallery, making it simple to view, share and enjoy your memories.

Every wedding collection also includes a personalised mobile gallery, giving you a beautiful way to keep your wedding photographs close at hand. Your images are securely stored in your curated gallery, rather than simply becoming lost amongst thousands of photographs on your phone.

It's designed to make revisiting and sharing your memories effortless.

Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding photography?

Yes. Engagement photography is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this chapter of your lives before the wedding - and it can also help you feel more comfortable being photographed together.

A relaxed pre-wedding shoot gives us the chance to get to know each other, understand how you are together in front of the camera and create some beautiful photographs without the pressure or schedule of a wedding day.

Do you help us plan the photography for the day?

Yes. Before your wedding, we'll take the time to understand your plans, priorities and the things that matter most to you.

We'll help you think about timings for family photographs, portraits and the parts of the day you'd particularly like us to capture. We can work alongside your venue, wedding planner and other suppliers to make sure photography fits naturally into the day.

Our aim isn't to create a rigid schedule around photographs. It's to plan things well enough that you can relax and enjoy yourselves.

Do you photograph weddings outside Yorkshire?

Yes. Although we're based in South Yorkshire and particularly love photographing weddings from Barnsley to Sheffield and Harrogate, York and Yorkshire's beautiful venues, we're happy to travel further afield.

If you're planning a wedding elsewhere in the UK - or beyond - we'd love to hear about it.
