The best moments happen when nobody's watching.
That's exactly when I'm looking. I shoot weddings the way they actually feel — real, unscripted, and full of the details you'll want to remember for the rest of your life. Because your wedding isn't a photoshoot with a party attached — it's one of the most human days you'll ever live. My job is simply to follow it honestly, stay out of the way, and hand you back something that makes you feel every bit of it all over again.
Wedding Photographer covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside & beyond
If you're looking for a photographer who'll capture your day naturally, honestly, and beautifully — you're in the right place. I'm David, and I'd love to be part of your story.
Hi, I'm David
I've always believed the best wedding photos are the ones you didn't see coming. I'm not there to direct you or slow your day 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 day, your way — I'm just there to capture and document every bit of it, beautifully.
What You Can Expect
Your wedding, beautifully DOCUMENTED
Your Day, Your Way
No two weddings are the same, and no two couples are either. Whether you want relaxed, candid shots or a full set of formal portraits — or a mix of both — I'll work entirely around you. You're in control, I'm just there to capture it.
Nothing Gets Missed
From the quiet moments getting ready to the last song of the night, I work discreetly in the background so you can be fully present in your day. You won't spend your wedding being directed — just living it.
Memories Worth Keeping
Great wedding photography isn't just about the big moments — it's the glances, the tears, the laughter between the vows. I'm there to make sure all of it is captured, beautifully and honestly, in images you'll treasure for life.
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 your day.
A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO GETS IT
I know how much this day means to you. 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 of planning your wedding. I keep everything simple, straightforward and transparent — so you always know what to expect, and you can get back to enjoying the process.

Coverage is priced by the hour — there's no set packages here, just flexibility. You only pay for what you actually need, from 2 hours upwards. Working out your own quote is simple: it's £85/hour in 2026 and £105/hour in 2027, so just multiply your hours by the relevant rate. Below are three common examples to give you a starting point.
The Details
Essential
2 hours
2026: £170 or 2027: £210
Perfect for shorter ceremonies, a blessing, a registry office wedding, or just the key moments — the vows, the first kiss, confetti, and a few portraits. This is my minimum booking and it's a great fit if your day is simple and relaxed.
classic
4 hours
2026: £340 or 2027: £420
A popular choice for smaller weddings. Four hours typically covers getting-ready shots (one side), the ceremony, group photos, and a bit of the early reception. Enough time to tell the story of your day without needing full-day coverage.
complete
6 hours
2026: £510 or 2027: £630
Six hours gives you real breathing room — both sets of getting-ready shots, the ceremony, portraits, group photos, and a good stretch of the reception including the first dance or wedding breakfast. Ideal for mid-sized weddings where you want the full morning and afternoon covered.
Not sure how many hours you need? Send me your rough schedule and I'll help you work out what makes sense. A 50% deposit secures your date, with the remainder due 14 days before the wedding. Travel is free within Greater Manchester and Merseyside — just get in touch for a quote outside those areas.
STEP 01
Get in touch
Drop me a message with your date and a bit about your day. No pressure, no sales pitch — if you've got questions, I'm happy to answer them. And if you're not quite ready yet, that's absolutely fine too. Come back when you are.
STEP 02
Lets have a chat
Once you're happy to go ahead, we'll sort your booking agreement and deposit, which is what officially secures your date. After that, we'll have a relaxed catch-up before the wedding — a chance to go over the day, talk through any must-have shots, and just get comfortable with each other. If you're local, I'm also happy to do a venue visit.
STEP 03
Picture time
The big day! I'll blend into the background and document everything as it naturally unfolds — the quiet moments, the big ones, and everything in between. You won't spend your day being directed, just enjoy it and let me take care of the rest.
STEP 04
Your memories, delivered
Your photos will arrive in a beautiful online gallery, delivered via the same system you'll have seen in my examples. If you've opted for physical artwork — prints, albums, or wall art — those will follow too. Yours to keep, forever.
Planning tips & FAQ
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.
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.
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.
What do you wear on the day?
I dress smart casual so I blend in with your guests — you won't have a photographer in a branded polo shirt standing out in your photos!
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 both the bridal and groom preparations captured, we'll have a chat beforehand about the best way to plan this. If you'd prefer 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 day is captured exactly the way you want it — then yes, I'd like to think so! I shoot all kinds of weddings, 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.
