Cheshire wedding photographer available all over the UK
This is wedding photography that lets you be yourselves
that celebrates everything and everyone you adore, that supports your wild choices and deepest desires. It’s not for people ticking suppliers off their to do list, or folks who are happy with vanilla. It’s for people who’ve always felt they’ve never quite felt at home doing the same as everyone else, who want something personal, bespoke and truly unique.
I’m Caroline. I’ve shot something like 230 weddings, from tiny back garden celebrations with a handful of people, to huge destination weddings that last several days. Over time I’ve developed a documentary approach to shooting, so I observe and anticipate moments, rather than direct and intervene.
I want you to have the best wedding day you could ever hope for. And I want you to live in every part of it - hanging out with your favourite people, being weird with your favourite weirdos, and never once having to do something ‘for the pictures’. I don’t even want you to consider what I’m doing on the day, because you’re too busy having a brilliant time.
So what do I do? I wait. I observe. I anticipate the right moment to swoop in and get a set of photos that’ll make you laugh, cry, and take you right back to how that day felt. I want to show you all the things you missed, and all the things you’ll come to miss in the fullness of time. If you want to throw a few set up photos into the mix that’s your choice, and I’ll support it, but 99% of my time will spent capturing the epic event you’ve been planning for so long.
The Photos are About the wedding.
The wedding is not about the photos.
The photos you’ll see here are documentary and candid in style, which means you’ll get a gallery full of unposed photos, and the story of your day as it unfolded. It’s about capturing moments in time, little bits that you missed on the day, fleeting moments that pass you by before you’ve even realised they’ve happened.
I don’t think your wedding should look like everyone else’s - it should look like yours, whether that’s barefoot in a field or black tie at a swanky rooftop bar. It’s not about posing all day or having so many group photos that you miss your canapés, or about a photographer saying or doing things to make you laugh (I’d rather capture those laughs between you and your guests). It’s about getting a beautiful gallery filled with real moments from your wedding, so you can have a great time without feeling pressured by an endless list of group photos.
Relax. Enjoy your wedding day. Live in it. Hang out with your favourite people, and I’ll do the rest.
Hey, I'm Caroline, and I love photographing real life.
I’m a wedding photographer with one goal in mind: I want you to have the most fantabulous wedding day, full of hugs and lovely things that make you smile so deep inside you think you might actually burst a little bit. Things that happen without any direction or prompting, real moments of emotion, affection, surprise, happiness, poignance…all of it. Cool things happen in real life all the time, especially at weddings.
I live in Cheshire, and I’ve photographed weddings all over the UK and further afield. My style is all about keeping it authentic, so every wedding I photograph looks that tiny bit different. I keep to the same unposed, documentary style, but because the people are always different it means every wedding looks a little different. This means I get to give every couple a unique set of photos!
So I love all kinds of weddings - big, tiny, destination or your back garden. If you want a photographer who’ll blend in, laugh with your aunties, and get the shots without direction, I’m your girl.
“help! We’re not getting married in Cheshire!”
Great! I love going somewhere new. While most of the weddings I photograph are around Cheshire, Manchester and North Wales, I’ll go anywhere. I’ve photographed weddings from Kent to Ayr, and everywhere in between. I get to go to so many new and interesting places with this job, and I love exploring somewhere I’ve never been before.
If you love my style and you want to chat with me about your wedding then get in touch, no matter where you’re getting married.
My full day packages include UK mainland travel, so you won’t get caught out by a sudden surprise.
“but can we have some group photos?”
ABSOLUTELY you can
I take group photos, and I’ll take some fun couple photos too. But to me, they’re a sidenote to the main part of your day. The bit where all your favourite people get together in one place to celebrate with you - that’s the real stuff I’m interested in. Weddings are special, and the joy of all these people together doesn’t need any direction or coordination to create images that make you feel something when you look back at them.
So I focus on the people. All of them. All day. Holding hands, being silly, enjoying themselves, having real emotions. And at no point will I tell them to move into better light or repeat something because I missed it.
You get photos full of feeling, that might make you laugh or cry or maybe even both at the same time. Many couples I work with do want group photos and couple photos, but that’s just a small part of their day.
I was immediately drawn to Caroline’s style of work and her ability to capture the real raw and candid moments of a wedding day, the personality of the day. She’s an absolute pro at it! Caroline 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.

Tom and Bryony’s quirky DIY wedding at the Klondyke in Levenshulme, Manchester, was full of fun and colour. My documentary style of wedding photography meant they got to fully enjoy their day without performing for the camera, or spending hours posing for photos.
