Planning your wedding in North Yorkshire? Based in New Marske, Jeff Pardoen Photography specializes in capturing the genuine moments that make your day truly yours. From the quiet excitement of getting ready to the lively celebrations, Jeff’s unobtrusive style ensures every special memory is preserved for you to treasure forever.
Jeff believes the best photos come from real moments, not posed scenes. He blends seamlessly into your day, capturing emotions and interactions as they happen—often without you even noticing.

After an initial Email or Messenger contact I meet up with the couple to discuss the requirements of the wedding. The meetup can also be a pre-wedding shoot which is included with my half- and whole day packages and where we can meet in an informal way and do a photo shoot whilst talking about the wedding. My clients are king, they decide what they want and I will follow their requirements and offer suggestions when needed.
I always put my couples in the directors' chair and let the venue and the surroundings dictate what pictures are best, so it is very fluid.

I graduated at the AKI Art Academy in Enschede, The Netherlands as a Baccalaureus in Fine Arts, I have been a Graphic Designer for 15 years and have been photographing for decades. When I emigrated to the UK in 2014 I decided to dedicate myself to photography full-time and to wedding photography in particular because I love the range of emotions during the day and to capture those emotions to the best of my abilities.
