Lancashire Wedding Photographer

I’m Michael, a photographer based in the North West of England

I specialise in capturing the real, unscripted moments, allowing you to actually enjoy your big day with family and friends.

Your wedding day is special and so are your photographs

My approach is simple: I focus on creating a relaxed environment from start to finish where you can be yourself, so that your photos reflect genuine emotions and true connections. Rather than staging every shot, I let your day unfold naturally, capturing the joy, laughter, and love as they happen.

Capturing real moments

Whether it’s the quiet moments before the ceremony, a candid laugh with friends, or the excitement of your first dance, I’m there to tell your story as it truly is.

Drone Photography

Drone photography allows me to capture unique photo’s and amazing images of your wedding venue.

Drone photography is included in my wedding packages at no additional cost.
