Experienced, Trusted Manchester Wedding Photographer

Over the last 18+ years I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings across Manchester and the North West. That experience means I’m prepared for almost anything – changing weather, tight timelines, last-minute plan changes – while still keeping things calm and enjoyable for you.
My work has been recognised regionally, including nominations from The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA), and I’m proud to be consistently rated 5★ by local couples who kindly recommend me to their friends and family.
Just as importantly, I run Cherished Images as a professional, full-time service. That means:

You’re not just booking someone with a camera for the day – you’re booking the reassurance that everything is handled properly from our first conversation to your final download link.
If relevant to you, I also offer Blue Light Card & Defence Discount savings on selected dates as a small thank you to those working in public service.

What Manchester Couples Say About Their Wedding Photography

I’m very lucky to work with couples who value natural, honest photography and a relaxed approach on the day. Here’s what some of them had to say after their weddings:

“James was incredibly professional from our first meeting through to the end of the day. He delivered a personal, unique service that made our wedding at The Monastery, Manchester truly special. We couldn’t recommend him enough.”

"Cherished Images captured our son’s wedding perfectly at Flixton House. We have so many amazing photographs that make wonderful memories."
