If traditional wedding photography feels stiff or outdated, you’re probably in the right place. My approach is documentary-led, focused on what actually happens on the day rather than directing it from the sidelines.

I work with minimal intervention, letting things unfold naturally so the photographs reflect real interactions, energy and emotion. The aim is to give you space to be present, not to turn the day into a performance for the camera.

I’m based in the North of England and photograph weddings across Manchester, West Yorkshire and further afield.

Wedding photography your way.

How I work.

I take a step back and work around what’s happening rather than trying to control it. That means paying attention to people, movement and atmosphere, and staying responsive as the day shifts.

  • I don’t stop moments to recreate them

  • I avoid constant posing or over-direction

  • I focus on how the day feels, not how it’s staged

If you’d like a few portraits or family photos, we’ll keep them quick, low-pressure and human. Once people stop thinking about the camera, things tend to work themselves out.

Weird idea? I’ll roll with whatever you throw at me. Literally.

Who this suits.

My approach tends to work best for couples who:

  • want their wedding to feel natural rather than choreographed

  • care more about the experience than tradition for tradition’s sake

  • aren’t interested in performing for the camera

  • don’t mind a bit of movement, noise or unpredictability

I welcome couples from all backgrounds and walks of life, and I photograph weddings that reflect the people involved rather than a prescribed format.

What to expect.

Your wedding day isn’t about managing moments for photographs. It’s about being in it. My role is to document what unfolds honestly, keep things flowing, and step in only when it helps.

Coverage can be shaped around what matters most to you, from ceremony only to full days with pre-wedding shoots. The focus stays the same regardless of scale: honest photographs, made without getting in the way.

What to Expect

  • Communication is key! We will have at least one Zoom call beforehand, or if you're local to Manchester we can grab a coffee and cake in person. I'll be sure to share some forms to grab all the essential details, but you can email as much as you need to feel confident in a perfect day!

  • Half of the fun is getting ready, so I'll be there to capture the process. During the ceremony I will be everywhere and nowhere at once - I'll get all your best angles, and you won't even notice I'm there! If you're after portraits and group photos as well as documentary-style, we'll do these sharpish during cocktail hour (and maybe a few more at golden hour if we're lucky!) and I'll let you get back to the party. If you get a great shot idea during the day, you can grab me anytime, otherwise I will float around documenting all the important bits of your wedding.

  • I know you'll be shivering with anticipation to see your photos after the wedding, but perfecting your wedding album takes time! To tide you over, within one week of your wedding you will receive a sneak peek selection of images to share with friends and family.

  • All of your images will be beautifully edited in my own signature style after the event. There's no upper limit on the number of photos you will receive - if it's a good one, it goes in! You will have private access to an online galley to download and share your images with friends and family.
