Sycamore Studios is the professional, creative photography studio of Colin Marshall. Based just off Skipton High Street the studio was established in 1990. Over the last 21 years Colin has become widely known for his very modern and natural style of wedding and portrait photography.
In recent years Colin has been joined in the business by fellow photographer Jeremy Richardson who has his own distinctive yet complementary style.
Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life and Colin and Jeremy work together to capture the love, fun and romance with their informal style of photography.
Portraits by Sycamore Studios can either be in the studio, at your home or on location. Colin draws on his many years of experience in photographing families to create beautiful portraits you will treasure for years to come.
He has a real passion for photography and can often be seen with a camera when he is not working. Do have a look at the Around the World part of this site to see some of the ‘other’ images he has created.
