Hi!, I’m Wes Simpson – a creative documentary wedding photographer. What I love most about photography is that it has tremendous power and emotional value. It can soften hearts, strengthen relationships and it can bring people together. Weddings are perfect for this as they serve as a refreshing reminder to be both grateful and aware of all the beautiful people and precious memories in our lives.

I absolutely love photographing natural moments of joy and emotion and my unique skill set and cinematic style is perfect for this. With 20+ years experience in the television and photography industry my knowledge of body language, film and lighting enables me to pre-empt and capture special moments as they happen. I am based in Ormskirk, Lancashire, which is situated in-between Liverpool and Manchester in the North West of England, however there is no limit to where I will travel to in-order to tell your story.
