Cheshire Wedding Photography | Knutsford Wedding Photographer.

Sara & Paul’s Cheshire wedding was a riot, a wedding day full of big smiles, great friends and a heck of a party in the evening to finish their day off.

It’s hard sometimes as a wedding photographer to pick your favourite images from a wedding day, it’s something I really struggle with, narrowing a gallery of 500 or so wedding images down to 50-ish, i genuinely love every image I deliver, I love them when I take them, when I edit them and when I place them in the finished gallery so my method for choosing what to show is pretty simply, I just randomly scroll through the final wedding gallery and pick out pictures at random - I used to spend ages deliberating over the pictures I would show but I came to the conclusion that’s not the right thing to do, prospective couples should see a random selection, a website post shouldn’t be ‘the best’ pictures in a gallery, it should give a clear idea of what to expect from a full gallery, that way there’s no disappointment when couples receive their full set of pictures

Why do I do this? Honesty really, I know a lot of photographers only show their best pictures to entice couples in, that’s great however, if there isn’t the same consistency of quality throughout a finished wedding gallery then it’s a bit misleading as to what people can expect. I’d rather not do that, so I don’t. So here you’ll find a completely random selection of images from this rather fun Cheshire wedding.

Wedding Photography in Knutsford, Cheshire.

I love a Cheshire wedding, I mean I love every wedding obviously but Cheshire is local for me so purely from a driving, staying over, getting home perspective a Cheshire wedding is a pretty sweet gig. Yep I’m a Manchester / Cheshire based wedding photographer and sometimes it’s nice to be close to home you know. I won’t go through all the wedding details here, this is purely a post about showing wedding pictures, needless to say, as I’m sure you can tell, Sara & Paul’s wedding was a bloody brilliant day and I’ll let the pictures do the talking rather than me.

A relaxed approach to wedding photography in Cheshire.

Sara & Paul wanted pictures that celebrated them, their families, friends and the feeling of their day. There were no formal or posed pictures at all which from my perspective is the best way to represent a wedding day - just to let it happen. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware that people may want a nice picture from the oldies mantelpiece and I’m completely cool with that, it doesn’t have to take longer than 2 minutes and for some people it’s a nice interlude from the day.

So my wedding photography brief was very simple, just take pictures how you want. That’s what I did, all very relaxed, informal, in the moment.

My entire ethos is to allow people to enjoy their wedding, for me there’s nothing worse than an overbearing photographer who has no idea about personal space and subtlety. The most important thing for me is to convey how a wedding feels rather than what it looks like, pictures that contain emotion and far more valuable than pretty pictures with no feeling (for me anyway). I’d rather a picture evoke a feeling than a pat on the head for being pretty and I find the best way to achieve that is to let people be people, live in the moment with them, and understand who they are - if you don’t do that then it’s not emotive documentary.
