During my time as a Skelmersdale wedding photographer, I have built up a reputation as one of the most sought-after photographers in the North West of England, winning multiple awards and seeing my work published in celebrity magazines like Hello! and OK!

My background as a television cameraman, coupled with a degree in communication and body language, has given me the incredible gift of being able to visualise an image in my mind before I press the shutter. This enables be to pre-empt and capture special moments as they happen.

Natural, Storytelling Photography

As your Skelmersdale wedding photographer, my goal is to tell the story of your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. My background in documentary-style photography means I capture every detail and emotion organically, using natural light and settings to create images that feel genuine and timeless.

There is a ‘photo-journalism approach to my wedding photography. The way I photograph the day is called documentary-style photography, like a “fly-on-the-wall.” – This lets you enjoy the day without too much posing.

This comes from my television cameraman background. Just like on a TV show, I will photograph you as though the camera isn’t there. Producing natural-looking images that are engaging and meaningful.

With wedding photography, I try to bring natural-looking images and candid shots to the centre stage. Showcasing beautiful real moments, and things you might have missed. I won’t pose you, but I will guide and direct you so that the pictures capture you in your best light.

Upon booking me to photograph your day, you will receive a free photography planning guide. And we have a planning meeting before the wedding to discuss your itinerary for the day.
