Over the years I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for my work as a Manchester wedding photographer. I was a Regional Finalist at The Wedding Industry Awards in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and have been recommended as one of the best wedding photographers in Manchester and the UK. My work has also been featured in some of the biggest wedding blogs and magazines, including Brides Up North and Bride Magazine, with two full magazine wedding features.
I was shortlisted in Your Perfect Wedding Photographer’s Top 100 Worldwide, and I’m a proud member of Fearless Photographers and MyWed — two international communities that showcase some of the best wedding photography talent in the world.
If you’re looking for a Manchester wedding photographer who captures your day with creativity, warmth and a documentary eye, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me about your plans, your venue and what matters most to you, and I’ll send over availability and pricing. Let’s create something beautiful together.
Choosing the right wedding photographer can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you’re trying to compare packages, prices and styles. I like to keep things simple. My wedding photography packages are fixed, clear and easy to follow, with the option of booking me alone or adding a second photographer for even more coverage of your day. No complicated hourly rates, no hidden extras — just straightforward, relaxed wedding photography.
In the run‑up to your wedding, everything is planned with care. You’ll receive a short questionnaire so I can learn more about your day, your timings and the people who matter most to you. From there, you can relax knowing everything is in hand and nothing is left to chance.
On the day itself, I arrive early, dressed smartly and ready to blend in naturally with your guests. My approach is calm and unobtrusive, allowing me to capture real moments as they unfold. I work with two professional cameras and a selection of lenses that help me photograph your day in a natural, documentary style without interrupting the flow of events.
Although I’m based near Manchester and photograph weddings across the city and the North West, I’m always happy to travel. I’ve photographed weddings across the UK and Europe, and I bring the same relaxed, documentary approach wherever your celebration takes place.
If you’d like to get to know me a little better, you can find more of my work and behind‑the‑scenes moments on Instagram and Facebook, where I share recent weddings, previews and stories from the couples I photograph.
