North West Wedding Photographer | Elegant - Documentary Weddings
I am a Manchester-based wedding photographer capturing weddings in an elegant, documentary style with a subtle editorial influence - focusing on real moments, genuine emotion, and the quiet beauty in between.
My approach is relaxed and natural. I truly believe the most meaningful wedding photographs happen when you are fully present with the people you love, free to enjoy every moment without worrying about posing or performing for the camera. Most of your wedding day is photographed exactly as it unfolds, allowing your story to be told honestly, naturally, and with feeling.
Alongside this documentary approach, I bring a refined, editorial eye to composition, light, and detail, and offer gentle guidance when it’s needed, particularly during couple portraits. This ensures your images feel intentional, elegant, and beautifully composed, without ever feeling stiff or over-posed.
Your wedding day should feel like you, not a photoshoot.
My work is primarily documentary, allowing space for real emotions- laughter, quiet glances, happy tears, and spontaneous moments. Alongside this, I apply a light editorial approach, focusing on flattering angles, clean framing, and beautiful natural light.
SELECTED WORK
RELAXED DIRECTION, NATURAL MOMENTS
You don’t need to worry about posing , I’ll gently guide you with small suggestions, easy prompts, and natural movements, so you can feel relaxed, confident, and truly yourselves.
I usually spend 10–30 minutes with just the two of you, keeping everything calm, easy, and enjoyable. This is a quiet moment to connect, laugh, and just be together and the result is portraits that feel natural, elegant, and full of real emotion.
