The moment you said yes deserves to live forever.
That's exactly why I'm there — hidden in plain sight, waiting for the real thing to happen. I photograph proposals and engagements the way they actually unfold: raw, unplanned, and completely yours. Because you won't remember every detail of that moment — but I will. My job is to be invisible until it matters, then hand you back something that makes it feel brand new every time you look at it.
ENGAGEMENT AND PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHER COVERING GREATER MANCHESTER, MERSEYSIDE & BEYOND
If you're looking for a photographer who'll capture your proposal or engagement naturally, honestly, and beautifully — you're in the right place. I'm David, and I'd love to be there for one of the biggest moments of your story.
Hi, I'm David
I've always believed the best photos are the ones you didn't see coming. I'm not there to direct you or slow your moment down — I'm there to blend in, stay in the background, and make sure nothing gets missed. That said, I work entirely around you. Want formal portraits? Absolutely. Prefer it all natural and candid? Perfect. Your moment, your way — I'm just there to capture and document every bit of it, beautifully.
What You Can Expect
Your PROPOSAL, beautifully DOCUMENTED
Your MOMENT, Your Way
Every proposal is different, and so is every couple. Whether you want something intimate and low-key or a grand gesture with all the details — I'll work around your plan completely. You stay in control, I stay out of sight.
Nothing Gets Missed
From the nervous energy beforehand to the tears, the laughter, and the first look at the ring — I work discreetly so the moment can unfold exactly as it should. You won't even know I'm there until you need me to have been.
Memories Worth Keeping
Great engagement photography isn't just about the big reveal — it's the shaking hands, the happy tears, the can't-stop-smiling afterwards. I'm there to make sure all of it is captured, beautifully and honestly, in images you'll treasure forever.
GALLERIES WORTH REVISITING
Your photos don't disappear into an email attachment. You'll receive a beautifully curated online gallery, delivered within a timeframe that doesn't leave you waiting months to relive the moment.
A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO GETS IT
I know how much this moment means to you — and to them. From the first enquiry to the moment your gallery lands, I'm with you every step — approachable, communicative, and genuinely invested in getting it right.
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO CHASE
Booking a photographer should be the easy part. I keep everything simple, straightforward and transparent — so you always know what to expect, and you can focus on planning the perfect proposal.

Planning tips & FAQ
What are your prices?
For 2026, I charge £140. There are no travel costs for sessions in Greater Manchester or Merseyside. For areas outside of these, there may be a small travel cost — I'll always be upfront about this before you book, so no surprises.
Are there any hidden costs?
None at all. The only extras would be if you'd like physical artwork such as prints, albums, or canvases — these are completely optional and something we'd discuss and agree separately. Everything else is included.
When do we pay?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due 14 days before your session.
How soon will we get our photos?
You'll receive a sneak peek selection within 48 hours of your wedding — because we know you won't want to wait! Your full gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks.
How are the photos delivered?
All photos are delivered digitally via a private online gallery, which you can view, download, and share with family and friends however you like. And yes — you get every photo I take, not just a selection.
Can you do fun shots like champagne sprays or sparklers?
Absolutely — these are some of my favourites! If there are any special shots or moments you want captured, just let me know and we'll make it happen.
Will there be more than one photographer?
It'll just be me on the day! This means I can't physically be in two places at once, so if you'd like a second photographer to be there, I can arrange that too — just let me know.
Are you the right photographer for us?
If you want someone who'll work around you, keep things relaxed, and make sure your moment is captured exactly the way you want it — then yes, I'd like to think so! I shoot all kinds of moments for all kinds of couples, and I'll always make sure you both feel completely comfortable from the moment we first speak. The best way to find out is to get in touch — no pressure, just a chat.
