Documentary & Candid Wedding Photography
Moment-led and fuss-free for couples who want to enjoy their wedding day without posing for photos.
I’m John — a documentary wedding photographer based in Liverpool.
I blend into your day like a friend with a camera, quietly catching the real moments as they unfold — the laughter, the nerves, the hugs, the tiny in-between bits you’ll treasure most.
From Liverpool to the Lakes, North Wales to Cheshire, I photograph weddings for couples who want their day to feel relaxed, natural and completely unposed.
If you’re looking for photos that feel honest, warm and full of personality — without being asked to perform — you’re in the right place.
“Like being photographed by someone who’d known us for a long time.”
My approach is
candid, documentary, natural and unashamedly sentimental.
I’m interested in photographing the many different little, big, silly, serious and joyous moments that will take place at your wedding.
I’m not going to ask you to say, do or act in any way you’re not comfortable with for the sake of a photograph.
I’d prefer not to waste precious time taking static portraits when I could be capturing real moments as they happen.
I want you to look back on your photos in years to come and experience all the unique moments you created when you got married that one day.
“John has staying power and is never off the job.”

Am I right for you?
You or your partner might:
not like being the centre of attention
feel awkward when asked to pose for photos
find traditional wedding photography a bit cheesy
If this describes how you feel, then I may just be the right wedding photographer for you.
My goal is to creatively document your wedding whilst not disturbing the flow of the day.
You dictate the order of events, and I’ll do my best to capture the day naturally, as it unfolds.
If you’d like a couple of shots of you two by yourself - great! If you’d rather go without some informal couples portraits - OK!
The important thing is that you’re making the most of every minute that your wedding has to offer.
Ultimately, I want you to be confident in the knowledge that your day is being authentically documented - for you to return to for years to come.
“Really captured the essence of the day, it felt like we were reliving it through the photos.”
