Chris Thornton Photography & Video

We got married at Wharfedale Grange in March 2025 and booked Chris with the “I Want It All” package. Our wedding album and video highlights are absolutely beautiful. Chris made us feel relaxed on the day, kept everything flowing smoothly, and captured all the moments perfectly without anything feeling posed. We’re so happy with the photos and video, and would highly recommend him to anyone planning their wedding.

I knew Chris from school so was hoping that would make the planning and the day go even smoother. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Chris captured our day perfectly, worked well with the video photography and adapted to the weather

Chris is an exceptional photographer. I didn't know what I wanted and he managed to take my very little inspiration and create some of the most gorgeous pictures I could have wished for. I recently got married on New Year's Eve and the pictures I have seen so far are nothing other than perfect. It was exactly what I hoped for! Chris is a really professional, great guy all round! He put me at ease and helped me through the day! Thanks so much again Chris! Can't wait to see the rest Nat & Matt

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 :)

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!!

Chris made sure he was there with me from start to finish of my wedding. He managed to capture every part of the day. For many of the natural photos I didn't even realise he was there. He was very responsive to emails and was willing to discuss what pictures we were wanting. We even had to change our wedding date a few months before the wedding and this was a straight forward date swap no problem. All the pictures tured out perfect!!! We were also given a lovely memory stick with all the photos on. A lovely keep sake. We would definitely recommend Chris as a photographer. Thank you very much!!

Chris was fantastic and we love our photos so far! Our guests even commented how he did a great job getting around the room, taking pictures and capturing the day!

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!

Chris was amazing on the day and got such amazing shots from getting ready to our first dance and after! He was so professional and easy to talk to! Got all the shots we wanted and more! Including drones and a video! Something that me and my husband will never forget! We first met Chris at my best friends wedding and thought the photos were amazing and he had also done another of our friends wedding before! His skills are incredible!

We booked our wedding around the availability of Chris, we knew from day one we wanted him to capture our special day and it was 1000% worth it
