Cheshire Wedding Photographer

For fun-loving couples all over the UK

Natural, Real & relaxed wedding photography

Based in Cheshire, Covering all of the UK

Hey there! I’m Caroline, and 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.

Documentary, fly-on-the-wall, ninja with a camera - whatever you call it, my approach is about not directing you. I focus on the real stuff, the fleeting you moments you forget happen because they’re just a part of all the wonderful, human interactions you have all day long on your wedding day. I’m not about putting you on display. and making you perform stuff that looks like it belongs in a perfume advert, I just want to tell your real story.

I live in Chester and work all over the UK.

Fret not, Camera-Shy Couples

Most couples tell me they’re awkward in front of the camera. Years of experience has taught me that the less I try to impact the wedding, the less awkwardness I see in front of my camera. It sounds counterintuitive, but a photographer who’s not telling you to pose, where to stand, what light works best, might be just the thing you need to quell your nerves.

People stop performing when they stop noticing my camera, and that’s when the best photos happen.

Unposed moments & Authentic Storytelling

People make a wedding

You might not have seen them for years, decades even. You might be meeting someone for the very first time, or be with someone you see every day. The people you invite to your wedding are the wedding. They bring the vibe, and those of us privileged to spend the day with you get the join in.

I love this job - I celebrate Life Every weekend!

Every weekend I get to celebrate life with a group of people who love each other. I hold their memories and show them the joyful time they had together. It’s a privilege, and it keeps me balanced. Every wedding is different, not because of the venue or decor, those things are secondary. It’s the people. People make a wedding. They bring the vibes and I get to join in for a brief moment, and hopefully craft something beautiful.

The Photos are About the wedding. The wedding is not about the photos.

By not controlling, posing or directing any part of your day I get to see the real stuff. This means you get photos full of feeling, that might make you laugh or cry or maybe even both at the same time.

I Live in and love CHeshire, But I go to other places too…

Whether your wedding is in Cheshire, the wider North West of England, or (much) further afield, I’m game. Travel is part of what I do, and I actually really enjoy this part of my job. Going to new places, exploring new landscapes and getting to know a place through its people is something I absolutely love. I’ve shot weddings all over the UK, and done a couple of destination weddings too. Whether you’re getting married in a tiny barn in Yorkshire, or on the beach in Devon (and everywhere inbetween), I’m up for it.

Hey, I'm Caroline

I’m a bookworm bumpkin who loves popping into town for fancy food. I love Vinted, baking, kitchen discos and travelling to new places. I’m happiest outdoors. Cheshire’s full of hills, from the Peak District to the coast, and getting in lost in them with my dog, family and a flask of tea is one of my absolute favourite things.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 7(ish) years, and I’ve lost count of how many weddings I’ve been to. Small, quiet, local, or big, loud and in far flung corners of the UK, I’ve photographed all kinds of ceremonies in all kinds of places, from campsites in Sheffield to smallholdings in Italy.

I’ve won a few awards for my candid, story-telling approach to wedding photography recently too, which makes me so happy!

Get to know me better 
You and your favourite people, 
doing life together.
