Mark Skeet Photography bio picture

Personal service

We founded Mark Skeet Photography to create a company where having your picture taken was a truly memorable experience.

From your first phone call to the delivery of your chosen art you will only deal with either myself or my wife, Mandy. At your wedding or lifestyle portrait experience I will be your photographer.

Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, we cover assignments anywhere in the world.

About me

Hi I'm Mark and I'm a wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer.

I'm married to my beautiful wife, Mandy and proud father to Hannah, Amelia and Jemima.

Whilst my background is in web development I've been a photographer in one form or another for 15 years.

Away from the camera I like to get together with friends and spend as much time as I can with the family.

Had a superb time at Temple Newsam this last weekend with Diana and Sarah (MUA). Di has a great look that isn’t your straight up model convention and Sarah is a make up artist with real talent. Combine these two lovely people with me and we created some great images.
Here’s a sample from the session:

Model Session: Ewa Paczkowska

Last weekend I had the real privilege of working with Ewa on adding to her portfolio. Often I help newer models with high quality portfolio images, but Ewa was different in that she’d already done a fair bit of modeling back home in Poland.
The result was some great images as we could concentrate on...
