Alternative, storytelling wedding photography from the heart

This is wedding photography for people who don’t want their day to be about the photos,

but the photos to be about their day.

It’s not about making fairytales, or pretending to be someone you’re not, but about embracing the chaos, the absurdity, the beauty in the normal moments. It’s about colour and fun, delight and joy, all the emotions under the sun and all your favourite people in one place.

I shoot from the heart, I capture what I see and I try to document every wedding in a way that feels comfortable. I’m a whole person, not a fly on the wall. This means I chat with your guests, hide in plain sight and become part of the furniture, so everyone stops noticing me. People fascinate me, and I’m always looking for the way we all connect with each other, so I focus on this rather than fussing around with flat lays and details.

Here you can find every part of a wedding day, see how I shoot it and if my photography style is right for you. If you value colours, music, adventure and food then I think you’re in the right place - we might click perfectly. When you’ve had a good look round, feel free to check my availability and get in touch.

You create it | I capture it.

Finding the right photographer for your wedding isn’t an easy task. While some prefer to stay with a local choice, others might decide that there’s noone nearby who shoots weddings in quite the right way.

One of the highlights of working as a wedding photographer is meeting all kinds of people, from all kinds of places. It’s never the same workday twice, and it’s often a really quirky venue. These are the things that I love - capturing people in the places they’ve chosen, whether that’s a forest in the Peak District, or a barn in Mid Wales.

I live in Chester, but by no means do I stick my immediate vicinity. I’ve shoot regularly in Manchester, Derbyshire, Cheshire and Wales, and I’ve been lucky to travel to Kent, East Sussex, and Northumberland among others.

Relax. 

Nearly every couple I work with tells me they’re nervous in front of the camera. I can really empathise. It’s not just common to feel awkward in front of the camera - it’s totally normal.I’m here to say it’s all fine, better than fine, in fact.

There is an alternative way to photograph your wedding. Let me explain.

I’m not the kind of photographer who’ll make you spend your wedding day posing for hours, faking emotions or lining up everyone you’ve ever met for group photos. I think couple and group photos are important if they’re important to you, but as a documentary style photographer, my focus is on the whole day.

I photograph weddings in the moment, without direction or repetition, and as little intrusion from me as possible. I draw the line at hiding in the bushes like a weirdo, but I’m there to capture the look and feel of it, not turn it into a photoshoot.

"Having Caroline there just felt like an extension of our friends and family, it warms my heart just thinking about it now. We cant stop looking at the amazing photos Caroline captured, they are absolutely everything and more. Apart from Matt and I picking each other, choosing Caroline to capture our day was one of the best decisions we made."

Hey I’m Caroline

When I’m not photographing or videoing weddings, I like to hike in North Wales, lift heavy stuff, browse Vinted for hours on end, watch Taskmaster with my kids, eat tacos, and hang out with my dog.

I live in a tiny village in Cheshire, and I shoot weddings all over the UK, from Kent to Clitheroe. I have a special love for back gardens, woodlands and unusual settings like theatres and warehouses.

My style is laid-back and candid, so I blend in with your day and I’m always ready to capture the action. I make photos and videos that tell the story of your wedding day.
