Photography Portfolio
Take a look through real stories I’ve captured across Manchester, Bolton, Cheshire, and beyond. My portfolio includes weddings, couple sessions, family photos, and portrait shoots- all photographed in a natural, emotional and close to cinematic style.
Natural moments, not posed….
⸻
My photography style is 90% natural, with just a little guidance to make sure you look and feel your best. Whether it’s a couple session, wedding, family shoot, or even a personal photoshoot, I help you relax, be yourself, and enjoy the moment. I’ll gently guide you when needed-like making sure your family group photos are well-organized or giving you natural prompts for beautiful couple shots. But I never put you in stiff, unnatural poses. It’s all about keeping things fun, effortless, and true to you. I also offer little tips to make sure your photos turn out amazing!
As a photographer a HUGE part of my job is empathy. It’s about reading the moment-knowing when to bring energy and make you laugh, and when to step back and quietly capture what’s unfolding. It’s not just about photos, it’s about being there to help in little ways too-holding a door, fixing a dress, or just offering a reassuring smile. I want you to feel comfortable, present, and truly yourself while I capture your story as naturally as possible.

Couple Photoshoot
''My husband and I had a photo shoot with Iri. I was quite nervous about this beforehand, since we are quite old and haven't had a photoshoot since our wedding, 30 years ago. I needn't have worried. Not only were the photos and video spectacular, but the way Iri is so positive, clear and understanding in her direction made the experience enjoyable and easy for us!! I am simply blown away with the quality of the photos ; Iri has captured something so very, very special and unique for us . The photos have come out so beautifully - so natural and really personal . Thank you so much Iri, you are amazing!!!''
