Stockport Wedding Photography

Relaxed & Natural Stockport Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m James – a documentary wedding photographer covering Stockport and nearby towns like Marple, Cheadle, Bramhall, Hazel Grove, and Heaton Moor. With over 18 years of experience, I capture weddings in a relaxed, authentic style that tells the real story of your day.
Based near Stockport, I focus on natural moments—not stiff poses. I’m all about the genuine stuff: happy tears, nervous glances, belly laughs, and everything in between.

Authentic Photography

Stockport is full of amazing venues for photography, from elegant town halls to countryside gems in areas like Romiley and Gatley. Whether you're getting married in an authentic and rustic barn or a stylish city venue, my approach stays the same: natural, unobtrusive, and honest storytelling from morning prep to the last dance.

With a background in Manchester photojournalism, I blend storytelling skill with a calm, people-first approach. No awkward posing, no cheesy setups—just real, heartfelt images that reflect you.

We’ll keep formal portraits simple and relaxed, leaving you more time to enjoy your day while I quietly capture the moments that matter most.

James is absolutely fantastic, he always seems to capture the perfect moment and balances the colours perfectly. He's very patient, friendly, and listens to what you want to achieve in order to deliver outstanding images. I couldn't recommend him enough. "He's an artist with the camera" Here's to many more times using your services!
