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.

Our family’s story

We don’t normally feature our family on the blog. Not for any other reason than we think you’d rather look at our work instead but had to share these two moments in our family’s story with you.
First up is Jemima, who at 10 weeks old is now sitting up reasonably well and making all sorts...

All change at Mark Skeet Photography!

Well it’s been a hectic few weeks since we last posted. Jemima Poppy joined the Skeet household on Monday 26th October weighing in at 7lb 9oz which, bizarrely, is the exact same birth weight as her big sister Amelia.

Everyone is getting along swimmingly and so sleep deprivation hasn’t been too bad. Not sure Mandy would...

I first photographed Gabby and James at their wedding in 2007, and have subsequently done a couple of pieces of commercial work for Gabrielle’s wedding chair cover hire business.
This time it...

Sarah Wilson & Ed Binks, St Oswald’s Church and The White Lodge Hotel, Filey

Hot on the heels of our pre-wedding shoot with Sarah & Ed followed their wedding, yesterday, in the delightfully picturesque seaside resort of Filey. Though both based in Leeds, Sarah & Ed have a real soft spot for Filey and so decided to marry at the 12th Century St Oswald’s and then celebrate their nuptials...
