Cheshire Wedding Photographer
Storytelling photography for couples who value emotion, connection and legacy.
About
Wedding days are full of emotion, connection and legacy.
Moments that become the stories you’ll return to for years to come.
As a Cheshire wedding photographer who cares about capturing real moments, that’s what my photography is really about — you experiencing your wedding day fully with the people who matter most.
Telling your story, your way.
I’ll guide you calmly when needed, then blend into the day so you can forget the camera entirely.
The Wedding Photographer in Cheshire who includes a Wedding Album
Your wedding photographs aren’t just for today — they will become part of your family’s story forever. Something to open, hold and share for years to come.
That’s why every one of my signature wedding collections includes a beautifully crafted wedding album, designed to be held, treasured and passed down through generations.
Long after your Cheshire wedding day celebrations have finished, your album becomes the place where all the memories and stories of your day live — bringing back the atmosphere, the laughter and the people who shared it all with you.
A tangible keepsake to hold your story.
Handcrafted for today.
Stories told for generations.
I’m the Wedding Photographer in Cheshire who loves weddings
Hi, I’m Dave
I absolutely love photographing weddings because they’re full of life. Real emotion. Real connection. Moments that can’t be recreated.
That’s the good stuff. And that’s what I love to photograph.
My approach towards your wedding day in Cheshire will be simple. As your photographer, I want nothing more than for you to fully live your wedding day with family and friends, and I’ll quietly capture the moments that unfold around you.
I’ll step in with calm, experienced direction when it’s needed, then blend back into the day so you can forget the camera entirely.
This relaxed documentary approach saw me named one of Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine’s Top 20 UK Wedding Photographers for 2024.
I’m incredibly proud of that recognition, but what matters far more is what happens years from now — when you open your Signature wedding album and the memories you made become stories shared for generations.
That’s what my photography is really about.
Emotion.
Connection.
Legacy.
Your story, told your way. Forever.

The Wedding Photographer in Cheshire Who Helps You Feel Relaxed
The idea of being in front of a camera all day can feel a little daunting. That’s completely normal.
The truth is, most of the couples I photograph in Cheshire and beyond say exactly the same thing — they’re not used to being photographed and just want their wedding day to feel natural.
That’s why my approach to every wedding day is built around helping you feel comfortable and present in the moment.
I’ll absolutely help guide you when it’s needed — particularly during any portraits or family photographs — but the rest of the day is about letting things unfold naturally.
No constant posing.
No interruptions to the celebration.
Just thoughtful, relaxed photography capturing the real emotion of you living every moment.
And that’s exactly how it should be.
Because the best photographs happen when you’re simply enjoying your wedding day.
Storytelling Documentary Wedding Photographer in Cheshire
Trusted to Photograph Weddings Throughout Cheshire & Greater Manchester
I photograph weddings throughout Cheshire and Greater Manchester, and have captured celebrations in some of the region’s most beautiful venues — from elegant country houses to charming rural estates.
Having photographed weddings at Peckforton Castle, as well as Sandhole Oak Barn and Cheshire Spa Hotel – Mottram Hall, I’ve seen how each space uniquely shapes the atmosphere of a wedding day.
Every wedding has its own story, and no two celebrations are ever the same. What stays constant is my approach: thoughtful, unobtrusive storytelling photography that preserves the real moments of your day.
Whether it’s a grand historic wedding at Peckforton Castle or a relaxed countryside celebration at Sandhole Oak Barn, I focus on capturing the emotion, connection, and atmosphere that make each wedding day unique.
Review originally shared on Google
“Dave was incredible on our wedding day at Peckforton Castle. He planned everything perfectly and communicated clearly before and during the day, while somehow staying completely discreet.
The photos are stunning — every time we look at them, we relive all the emotions and joy of our wedding. We’ve found it impossible to pick a favourite! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and have already recommended Dave to so many friends.”

From majestic castles to charming countryside barns and elegant spa-hotels, every venue brings its own unique character and atmosphere to a wedding day.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of photographing at some wonderful venues in Cheshire, to name a few:
Sandhole Oak Barn
Each venue has it’s own unique charchter that shapes the rhythm of the day differently — the natural light, the atmosphere, and the spaces where people gather all influence the story of your wedding.
My documentary and storytelling approach adapts naturally to every setting, quietly capturing the moments, connections, and emotions that make your day truly unique.
Wherever you choose to celebrate your wedding in Cheshire, the goal is always the same: to tell the story of your day in a way that feels authentic, relaxed, and timeless.
Your story, your way.
