I’m Iri, a Manchester-based wedding photographer specialising in natural, documentary-style wedding photography. I photograph weddings across Manchester, North West and throughout the UK for couples who want real moments and timeless images.
Although I’m based in Manchester, I travel often for weddings across the UK and Europe. Whether your day is in the city, the countryside, or somewhere abroad, I’m more than happy to come along and capture it for you.

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.

''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!!!''

Thank you so much Irina for capturing so many gorgeous moments of our wedding day! We loved having you share the day and the photos are beautiful. Thank you also for all your ideas for great photos and candid moments which we really appreciated.
I’m a UK-based photographer capturing weddings, families, couples across Manchester, London, and Europe. Since I was a child photography has been a way for me to hold onto what matters most. Today, it’s my job - and joy - to help others do the same.
