Sheffield Wedding and Portrait Photography

We are Timm and Sam Cleasby and we run Timm Cleasby Photography – Timm is the photographer and Sam is the brains… (nah, not really) We are a husband and wife team – this could go terribly wrong with some people but for us, it works. We love working together.

Timm was a sound engineer and Tour Manager for years, working with a ton of bands but in the last five years, with Arctic Monkeys. (You can find out a little more here) We finally figured out that touring for nine months of the year and having three kids don’t mix well and so we started our company two years ago.

Timm has been interested in photography all his life and loves his job, he has had several exhibitions and is a noted portrait and wedding photographer. He is part of an arts collective called Responsible Fishing and has had his work published in books, magazines and music covers. During his ‘former life’ Timm won Tour Manager of the Year for his time with Arctic Monkeys.

He also is the Production Director of Tramlines Festival in Sheffield and has taught courses in Tour Managing and Sound in schools and universities.

Sam has been the main caregiver for the last 11 years. She also has managed to fit into raising three kids running a parent and toddler group, becoming Chair of the local pre-school and has (and still does sometimes!) worked as a massage therapist, doula and breastfeeding advisor) Her role has somewhat changed now and she is the marketing director for the company, running the websites and social media platforms. She acts as creative director and general assistant on photoshoots and also assists in the proofing and editing of shoots.

We have three kids, two dogs, a cat and two chickens. We are passionate about photography and art and LOVE what we do.
