Colin Murdoch Studio Full Description
We’re Colin and Heather, and as a husband and wife team ourselves, we know how special your wedding day is to you. Every wedding and each couple are unique, so we like to get to know both of you and your likes and dislikes, so that we can create a photography experience that is totally you. The two of us work closely together to take photographs that tell the story of your wedding day in an inobtrusive, natural style that captures moments as they happen, as well as creating some beautiful, natural portraits of the two of you to treasure in the years to come. We believe that your wedding photos grow more valuable over time as they are one of the few tangible products you can cherish from that day. When your wedding is over, you should have a beautiful set of photographs to look back on, showing the love and happiness shared between you and the people closest to you. We’d love to tell your story...from emotions to moments and all the little details in between. Please visit our website to see more of our work and learn more about working with us. Have questions? Please share as many details as you can with us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. We’re based in Skipton, North Yorkshire and cover wedding photography in Skipton, Leeds, Harrogate, York and the Yorkshire Dales, as well as throughout Yorkshire, Lancashire and further afield. In fact, we’ll go anywhere for a good wedding, all you have to do is ask us!

You were both wonderful and an absolute pleasure to be around.

We just wanted to say thank you to you and Colin. You were both wonderful and an absolute pleasure to be around. Thank you for helping us out with everything. If anyone ever asks us for a photographer's number you know you’ll be our number 1. All the best, Eva Xx

...absolutely overjoyed with the photos...

“We love the packaging [the USB] arrived in and are absolutely overjoyed with the photos. We've spent a good few hours flicking through them and showing friends and family. They capture the day perfectly and I love the fact they're ordered chronologically; they make the getting ready photos really interesting. It's nice to see Amy getting into the car while I write the speech! You were both amazing on the day too, loads of our guests commented on how lovely you were to be around and some of them may well be coming your way for some photos of their own. Thanks again, we'll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives!”

You have captured our special day perfectly...

We can't thank you enough for our wonderful wedding photos. You have captured our special day perfectly and we will treasure them forever. You put us at ease throughout the day and made it fun, even for Dan who hates having his picture taken usually!! The photos are amazing, thank you so much, we love them!

They are everything we wanted and more...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! We have just gone through the photographs and they are absolutely perfectly amazing. Every one either brought a tear to our eye or made us laugh. They are everything we wanted and more and we cannot thank you enough for them. You were amazing to have on the day and helped to make it the most special one that we could possibly imagine. Thanks again for being our photographers, you've captured everything we were hoping for and more! The photos really are amazing!

You captured so many beautiful moments...

We wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did to help create our perfect day. You were always there beforehand to answer any question, no matter how small, and on the day you captured so many beautiful moments which have made us laugh out loud (and shed a little tear). We are so glad that you were part of our day, thank you so much.

Thank you for the beautiful photos...

“Thank you both for the beautiful photos you took of our wedding. They are exactly as we wanted—informal, and provide some great memories of what was an unforgettable day for us. So thank you both again for being so much fun to work with and providing us with some great memories.”

We can't thank you enough...

“We can’t thank you enough for capturing our wedding perfectly. When it came to choosing our photographers it wasn’t a decision we made lightly as we love photos and looking back at what we’ve done. After meeting you though, the choice was easy. Everyone who’s seen the album is in awe and we can’t stop looking through it. We’re a bit scared that we might wear it out. Thank you again.”

There are no words...

“There are no words that can justify how grateful we are to you both for our beautiful wedding photographs. You have captured our day so perfectly and so naturally...we are beyond happy with the images! Ben and I both had tears in our eyes looking through our gallery! Before I saw your images I was on a real downer about my appearance...I was questioning all the decisions I had made even down to my dress...your images have made me realise that there was no need to feel this way. You captured myself and my dress in such a beautiful way that I can never thank you enough for that! You gave me my sparkle back! The amount of images you managed to take for us in such a short space of time was incredible and that is tantamount to your skills and professionalism. Ben & I would not hesitate to recommend you to other couples planning their wedding, you made the whole experience completely stress free! Lastly, the way the USB arrived packaged so beautifully was the absolute icing on the cake! From the bottom of our hearts... thank you so so much.”

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

The most memorable weddings for us, are always those where the couple have a relaxed, fun vibe surrounding the day. Weddings are about the two of you celebrating with family and friends in a way that suits you best.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, natural, creative, documentary, romantic.

What about your business are you most proud of?

We've worked very hard to build a business from the ground up. We moved to Yorkshire in 2012 without knowing a soul, and now have a successful business with around 50% of our bookings coming from referrals from previous couples and other suppliers we've worked with. So we're quite proud of the job we're doing! :)

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't try to fit too many activities into your day. Keep things simple and relaxed--that way you'll have time to really enjoy it. Oh, and make time for photography if it's important to you. Photos will be all you have left in years to come, so ask your photographer for advice and if they come running to you on the day, telling you how magical the light is as the sun's going down--go with them straightaway! Magic light=magic photos and it very often doesn't last long in the UK! ;)

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

We love dogs (we have a mini dachshund ourselves) so we love it when dogs are included at the wedding (sometimes as a ringbearer!) But we've also seen cats in bowties, and even tortoises holding the rings...pets are part of the family too, so it's lovely to include them.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I don't think there is one magic photo. Every wedding and every couple are different and it's about capturing you and your partner's personalities, rather than recreating the same photo again and again.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace the rain. You can't go back and do your wedding day over again so just go with it. Make sure you have a pair of wellies if you're somewhere muddy, and an umbrella (although we always have these too) and get out there for at least a little bit. Some of the most memorable images we have are from rainy days. But we can also do things inside at your venue if needs be, too.

Describe how you got into photography.

Colin has always worked in photography to some degree. With a Fine Arts degree, he comes from an artistic and design background and worked commercially for many years, as well as exhibiting in art galleries in his spare time. Heather came from a business background, but had a great creative eye for photography so it made sense for us to work together. We relocated in 2012 and decided to specialise in people--mainly weddings but also portrait photography, and we haven't looked back since!
