Wedding photography that tells your story

for couples who want to live in the moment

Wedding photographer Dave Laffan and his family

Hiya, I’m Dave

Let’s get it out there, I absolutely LOVE photographing weddings. Why? Because weddings are packed to the rafters with people having an absolute blast!

Photographing real, authentic stories of love, laughter and joy is a passion of mine and your wedding day will be jam packed full of them.

It was my storytelling approach to wedding photography that saw me being named as one of Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine’s Top 20 UK Wedding Photographers for 2024.

So if you want your wedding photography to tell the stories that’ll give ya smiles for miles - you’re in the right place!

Real moments. Real laughs. Real love. That’s the story I’m here to tell.

Your wedding day is a story, one told through glances, hugs, laughter, and tears, as much as through vows and first dances.

That’s my passion: storytelling photography. With a relaxed and vibrant style, I capture not just what your day looks like, but what it feels like to be there. My role is to preserve the stories and emotions of your wedding day, so you can relive and share them for years to come.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Greater Manchester, Cheshire, or further afield, who believes every wedding is a story worth telling, I’d love to tell yours. Let’s chat.
