Leeds Wedding Photographer for Couples Who Hate Posing

Relaxed, natural wedding photography across Leeds, Yorkshire & the UK.
If you’re worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, you’re not alone — and you’re exactly who I work with.
I’m Connor, the photographer behind 53 Degrees Media. I’m a creative person by nature, a big fan of a (slightly questionable) dad joke, and someone who knows exactly what it feels like to be uncomfortable in front of a camera.
That’s why I do things differently.
No forced poses. No long photoshoots. Just real moments, as they happen — captured in a way that feels natural, relaxed, and completely you.
Connor was amazing and so helpful, a lot of our guest have mentioned how great he was!

Wedding Photography That Feels Natural
Most couples tell me the same thing:
“I’m not good in front of a camera.”
Honestly? I get it — I used to feel exactly the same.
My approach is all about putting you at ease. I’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and keep things relaxed so you’re never left wondering what to do.
And if a bad dad joke helps break the ice, I’ve got plenty.
The result is simple natural, genuine photos that actually feel like your day.
A Bit About Me
When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m usually with my wife, Shaneece, and our daughter.
Becoming a dad has changed how I see weddings completely. I understand just how important these moments are — not just for now, but for the future too.
It’s a big part of why I care so much about capturing things properly, without forcing anything.
