I'm Leighton bainbridge 

Always looking for those special moments of LOVE, laughter & tears…

It’s fair to say I am the best climbing frame, bouncy castle, pirate, princess, singer, dancer, roller coaster, book reader, pony & sweet sharer. Well, that’s according to my daughters Nancy & Charlotte, haha. Yes, I’m lucky to be surrounded by 3 amazing ladies. My Mrs Katie, is my rock, soul mate and my best friend. She knows how to spur me on, as well as keeping me reigned in. (When I need to be) I’m clearly going to be outnumbered in any decision-making for the next 20 years.
My passion is, photography and I specialise in weddings. Which I absolutely LOVE. When not photographing, w-editing and spending time with the family, I’m a lycra wearing, lane hogging cyclist who likes cake & coffee 🙂

My style...

My wedding photography style is natural, documentary and above all, about capturing the day as it unfolds. 
Most of the time, I will be like a ninja lurking in the shadows, capturing all the little special moments that even yourself will miss. But I also love to chase light and set up picturesque scenes, leaving you two to the interactions, creating even better memories. I have many little tricks to get get true feelings with loads of chemistry between you both. Easing any awkward, cheesy photos. 
I love to have fun and have a true passion for wedding photography. 
It would be a pleasure to capture yours.

Shed a tear or two

LOVE, LAUGHTER & TEARS...

I'm definitely drawn to weddings, purely for the true emotions it evokes. So many special moments happen throughout the day. I've captured so many weddings now, that I know when the magic will happen. I have been caught out like everybody else a few times with goose bumps on walking up the aisle, laughing out loud at speeches, and even having to hold back the tears at the father of the bride's first look. It's such a beautiful occasion, and I feel blessed I get to be a part of it :-)
