Thanks for stopping by, I'm Paul
I believe wedding photography should feel timeless and true to you, and it should add to the experience of your day, not take you away from it.
My approach is simple. I’m there when you need me, and unnoticed when you don’t, quietly capturing everything from the big moments to the smaller, in-between ones that say just as much.
When you look back at your photographs, I want you to feel what it was like all over again. To see the moments you didn’t know were happening, and to relive the ones that meant the most.
I don’t take it lightly that you’d trust me with something so important. It’s always an honour to be part of it.
Wedding photography across Cheshire, London and beyond.
My weddings often move between contrasting settings. Country houses, barns and marquee weddings at home in the Cheshire countryside, and smaller, vibrant celebrations in London and the city.
Being based between Cheshire and London means I regularly travel between the two throughout the season, and also photograph weddings across the UK, including the Cotswolds, Berkshire and the Midlands.
My work is rooted in a documentary approach, capturing the day as it naturally unfolds, with relaxed, elegant portraits and a refined finish.
Q&A.
What’s your approach to wedding photography?
I take a documentary approach, focusing on real moments as they naturally unfold. I don’t believe in constant posing or interruption. Instead, I work quietly in the background, with some gentle direction when it helps, so your photographs feel honest, relaxed and considered.
That said, I will sometimes dive in to give some light direction where needed, in order to get polished, refined photographs.
Where do you work?
I’m a Cheshire wedding photographer and work across the surrounding countryside, including Shropshire, Lancashire, North Wales and beyond. I have a base in London, too, and love covering intimate city weddings. I regularly photograph weddings at country houses, private estates and at-home marquee celebrations, and I’m always happy to travel further for the right day.
Do you offer full-day wedding coverage?
Yes. I offer full-day coverage as standard, from morning preparations through to the evening celebrations. This allows your story to be told properly, without watching the clock or rushing moments that matter.
We’re not very comfortable in front of the camera. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most of my couples feel the same. My approach is hands-off and relaxed, with simple guidance where needed. You won’t be asked to perform or pose unnaturally — the focus is on you enjoying your day, not thinking about the camera.
How far in advance should we book?
Many couples book 12–18 months ahead, particularly for summer and weekend dates. That said, I occasionally have availability closer to the time, so it’s always worth getting in touch to check.
How do we take the next step?
Once you enquire, I’ll send over my collection details and guide you through what happens next. From there, we can have a relaxed chat to see if I’m the right fit for you and your wedding.
