Hello and Welcome!
I’m David…
Based just outside Manchester in sunny Lancashire, I photograph weddings all over the UK, across Europe, and anywhere your celebration takes me.
Photography runs in the family — I’m a third-generation photographer from Clitheroe. My grandfather and uncle ran a local photography business, and I grew up surrounded by cameras and darkrooms before studying Photography at university. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with capturing real stories through creative, honest imagery.
I put 100% into every part of the day — not just the hero shots of you both at sunset (though I love those too!). I capture the moments you expect and the ones you didn’t even know you wanted — the ones that will mean the most years from now. I like to tell your story as it naturally unfolds, creating honest, storytelling images you and your family will treasure for generations.
It’s also fair to say I don’t follow gimmicks or trends that date quickly. My approach is timeless, relaxed, and documentary in style — real moments, real emotion, and genuine connection. You’ll find me in the middle of the action, not hiding at the back with a massive lens. I’m always hunting for those hugs, the huge belly laughs, and everything that shows the true joy of your day.
My perfect wedding? The kind where everyone’s relaxed, the music’s good, the food’s even better, and people actually live the day. No stiff posing — just laughter, emotion, and a dance floor that gets messy in the best way.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually chasing good food, live music, or a flight somewhere new and spending time with my family. I love travel, culture, and anything that sparks creativity — all of which feed into how I see and capture the world.
I’m also proud to have been named 2024 National Wedding Photographer of the Year at The Wedding Industry Awards. What makes it extra special is that the awards are voted for by couples before being reviewed by a world-class judging panel — so you can feel confident knowing my work and service have been trusted and loved by the people who matter most. It’s an honour and a reminder of why I do what I do.
