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.

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...

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...

Mark & Victoria – The Devonshire Arms, Addingham

I often find myself saying it was my privilege to share in people’s big days but I truly believe it is one of the highest compliments a couple can pay you as a wedding photographer to entrust the recording of the biggest day in their lives so far to you.
Yesterday was a long but fantastically...

The Wedding of Matt & Nicola, Ripley Castle, Harrogate

It was my privilege yesterday to be asked to photograph Matt and Nicola’s wedding at Ripley Castle, near Harrogate.
We had a great time despite the weather testing us! But as a wedding photographer in the UK we’re always prepared with brollies and a plan B! We still had a blast though, Nicola looked amazing in...

Had the absolute pleasure of providing Chelsea and Steven with the first part of the lifestyle portrait prize they won recently at our wedding fair at the Crowne Plaza, Leeds.
We headed off to Kirkstall Abbey which was closing as we arrived (never trust a web site for information!). This didn’t stop us though and we...
