Salford Wedding Photography

Salford Wedding Photographer – Honest, Relaxed Photography Across Eccles, Swinton, Worsley & Beyond

Hi, I’m James – an experienced Salford wedding photographer with over 18 years of capturing weddings in a documentary style that’s relaxed, real, and full of heart. Based in nearby Urmston, I photograph weddings throughout Swinton, Eccles, Worsley, Walkden, Irlam, Pendlebury, Little Hulton, and Clifton.

My style is all about genuine storytelling—capturing the unscripted moments, real emotions, and natural interactions that make your wedding uniquely yours. No forced poses. No cheesy setups. Just beautiful, authentic images that reflect the true feel of your day.

Looking for a Wedding Photographer in Salford Who Keeps It Real?

Your wedding isn’t a photo shoot—it’s a celebration of your relationship, your people, and your story. I’ll work quietly in the background while you enjoy every moment, capturing all the candid laughter, quiet glances, happy tears, and spontaneous joy.

Whether you're tying the knot in the leafy charm of Worsley, the urban energy of Swinton, or the riverside views of Eccles, I’ll adapt to the setting and light to document it with honesty and style.

We’ll take a little time for relaxed portraits and family shots, but my focus is on keeping it natural and low-pressure. I won’t take you away from the party for long—your guests came to celebrate with you, not wait around.
