Leighton Bainbridge Photography

Leighton is a very talented photographer and has produced beautiful photos which we will treasure forever! He’s such a great guy and he was a pleasure to have around in the morning with the girls getting ready and to speak to throughout the day. He was so professional and friendly and we would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Our wedding should have taken place however covid came and we went into lockdown so sadly we had to postpone. We had paid our deposit to Leighton and he advised us to inform him when we rearranged our date. Postcovid we told him our new date he informed us that he already had a wedding and that either we should rearrange our wedding date and if not we would loose our deposit. We couldnt rearrange. He advised us he potentially could arrange another photographer to come take the photos on the day but would not repay anything to us. we asked for details of who he could provide so we could see who we would potentially have taking pictures of our special day... he stopped replying. We had to find another photographer and did not receive any deposit back. Really bad customer service.

We booked Leighton for our wedding, and we couldn’t have picked a better photographer.Throughout the pandemic (and general stress of wedding planning), Leighton was fantastic at reliably and promptly communicating with us, which is such an important quality that is too often overlooked, and missing with many wedding suppliers!No question or concern was too small; Leighton was extremely reassuring and guided us through the whole thing. Leighton was very flexible, listening and working with us the whole way to achieve our perfect photos.Both our pre-wedding shoot and the big day were so relaxed and comfortable, and that was due to Leighton’s cool, collected and candid approach. Ultimately, this achieved natural, breathtaking photos. Leighton’s eye for the surrounding landscape and lighting really shone through in our photos too.We don’t know who else we would have trusted with such an important and magical day, thank you so much Leighton for capturing it.Alex and Ryan x

Our photographer was one of the first things we booked after choosing our venue and date, we are so pleased we choose Leighton as he is absolutely amazing at what he does. We knew at our pre-wedding shoot that we had made the right choice, Not only has he captured our day beautifully but he’s such a great guy too! We forgot he was there sometimes so he been able to take some great natural snaps of us and our guests which really but us at ease. It’s lovely looking back through the pics and how his lense has captured our love story they are pictures we’ll forever treasure and thanks to Leighton we can look at them for many years to come.

I would give zero stars if I could. Leighton ruined the photos of our day, i wish we had of chosen someone else. He calls his style natural photography which basically means lazy. We payed over £700 And were far from happy with the results. Our daughter was the only bridesmaid he did not get one picture with myself or my wife with our daughter on the big day. Guests were not rounded up and staged photos not took. Our guests got much better pictures on their smart phones, we agreed on a few special effects like love hearts of fire around us, of course we didn't get what we wanted. When we explained to Leighton we were not happy he didn't seem to care and didn't want to discuss it any further.. Needless to say this can't really be rectified as the day has been and gone. If you want good quailty photos of the most important day if your life don't use this man. His website is really good, in reality his work is not up to scratch

We just wanted to say thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, you made us feel so comfortable and at ease and you worked so well with Kyle our videographer. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more! I cried as soon as I saw how beautiful they were.Thanks again, Mr and Mrs Heeley

Leighton is absolutely amazing at what he does, in every aspect of his job. From the pre shoot to the handing the album over. He is professional and friendly. He does his homework on the venue and gets the best shot. We used him in back in 2013 and I have lost count on how many friends and family events he has photographed.He is everything you want from a photographer and is a absolute please to work with.He goes out of his way to get the best shot even going though fields and rivers.If you need a photographer Leighton is the best around and I wouldn’t use anyone ells
