At Tierney Photography, I don’t just take photos — I capture the real heartbeat of your wedding day. No staged nonsense. No fake laughs. Just authentic moments, honestly told.
I blend natural reportage with creative portraiture, working quietly in the background so you can live every second of your day without feeling like you're starring in a photoshoot. The stolen glances, the last hugs before you walk down the aisle, the wild dance floor moments when nobody’s looking — I catch the spirit of your day honestly, elegantly, and with purpose.
Based near Sheffield, I cover weddings across Yorkshire and beyond. Whether you’re planning a chilled countryside gathering or a bold city celebration, my focus stays the same: your story, your way. Every couple’s different. Every wedding’s unique. And that’s exactly how I treat it.
If you're after forced poses and cheesy filters, I’m not your guy. But if you want wedding photographs that feel natural, effortless, and utterly you, welcome home. Your story deserves to be told properly. Let’s start planning the best story you’ll ever tell.

What is your most memorable wedding?
It’s not every day you end up part of the headlines — but one of my most memorable weddings was at Kelham Island Museum, where I managed to get stuck in the lift. With all my camera gear. On a wedding day.
The fire service had to come and rescue me. Somehow, I managed to make it onto Sky News and the Sheffield Star!
Weddings are unpredictable. That's why you want someone who knows how to stay calm, think fast, and roll with whatever the day throws at them. Whether it’s dodgy lifts or wild weather, nothing fazes me — and your day always comes first.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, Creative, Honest, Emotive, Timeless
What about your business are you most proud of?
I’m proud that couples trust me to tell their story their way. No fake posing. No cheesy filters. Just real moments, captured honestly.
After photographing over 400 weddings, I know what matters. It’s not staged Instagram moments — it’s the real, unplanned stuff you’ll still care about in 30 years.
In a world obsessed with trends and quick likes, I’m proud to stick to what’s real: emotion, memory, and truth.
That trust means everything. And earning it, wedding after wedding, is what keeps me sharp.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan the day you actually want — not the day you think you’re supposed to have.
It’s easy to get buried under other people’s expectations: family, friends, social media. But at the end of it all, it’s your story. Make decisions that feel right for you, even if they break tradition or upset the odd person.
The best weddings I’ve ever photographed had one thing in common: they felt like the couple. Honest, messy, joyful, and completely real.
Ignore the noise. Do you. That’s the story you’ll want to remember.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The best personal touches are always the ones that actually mean something to the couple — not the Pinterest-perfect nonsense.
One wedding that sticks with me was a couple who wrote letters to each other the night before the wedding. No big show, no audience. Just two battered envelopes exchanged quietly before the ceremony, packed with everything they wanted to say before stepping into married life.
No one else even saw it happen. No hashtags. No social media moment. Just real love, real emotion. That’s the stuff that matters.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
First, we have a Zoom chat — just a relaxed chat to see if we click. If you decide I’m the right fit, we lock in the date with a signed agreement and booking fee.
In the run-up to the day, I’m always on hand — whether you need advice, timelines, or just someone to tell you it’s all going to be fine. A few weeks before the wedding, we’ll run through the final plans, so everything’s nailed down and you can stop stressing.
On the day itself, I blend into the background — no bossing you about, no endless posing. I’m there to catch the real stuff as it unfolds naturally.
After the wedding, you’ll get a preview in a few days, and the full story around 4 weeks later.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The first kiss.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Well, I wasn’t asked — but the most original photo I’ve ever taken was when the Vulcan bomber photobombed a wedding I was shooting in Scarborough.
That shot ended up in five national newspapers. Sometimes the best moments aren’t planned
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Don’t fight it. Embrace it.
Some of the best wedding photos I’ve ever taken happened because of rain — not perfect blue skies. Moody clouds, puddles, jackets flying everywhere, real laughter. That’s the stuff you’ll remember.
I always bring a clear umbrella to every wedding, so you’re covered — literally.
If you’re up for countryside photos, just pack some sensible shoes. Mud washes off. Regret doesn’t.
Rain doesn’t ruin a wedding.
Describe how you got into photography.
I started off as a landscape photographer — hiking out into the Peak District, chasing light, learning how to frame the world properly.
Then my daughter came along, and everything shifted. I started combining the two — capturing dramatic images of her out in the landscapes I loved. Those early photos taught me how to find real moments and honest emotion, not just pretty scenes.
In 2006, I shot my first wedding. Same approach. Same mindset. Real people, real places, real stories — framed properly, with feeling. And I never looked back.
