Wedding Photographer · Chester & North Wales
Love,unhurried.
Natural, relaxed wedding photography for couples across Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales. Twenty years of quietly telling love stories.
The approach
Not posed.Simply present.
I photograph weddings the way they actually feel — warm, honest and a little bit spontaneous. Here's what that means for your day.
An old friend with a nice camera
I'd rather you feel like you've invited an old friend to your wedding than hired a photographer. Relaxed, warm, and never in the way.
Honest over posed
The best photographs happen in between the moments you plan for — the laughter, the glances, the quiet ones. I photograph what's real.
The journey, together
Every wedding is unique, so it starts with getting to know each other. By the end you'll have beautiful images that tell the story of your day forever.

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer in Chester for over twenty years. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive — I'd rather you feel you've invited an old friend who happens to have a really nice camera. Every wedding is unique, so it's all about getting to know each other and going on the journey together.
