North West Wedding Photographer

My name is Joe, I’m a photographer and I currently reside in the sunny seaside town of Southport in England. I photograph weddings north-west of the UK, and I have been doing that for roughly 5 years now. I graduated with a photography degree from Blackpool College and since then I have been pretty much just photographing weddings. I started out the same way most wedding photographers start out, I photographed the wedding of a family member, then a few friends. In college I never specialized in any one genre of photography, I guess I enjoyed learning about every different kind of photography that it naturally let to weddings. Wedding is notoriously challenging because it throws so many different genres at you. You have to know portraiture, landscape, interior, product, street photography, all sorts.
You have to be able to react quickly, anticipate moments, work with challenging environments. Know your camera and lights inside and out, it can be quite technical!

When I photograph a wedding I generally try to go unnoticed. I like to capture real, authentic moments and tell the story of your day as it actually happened. Some call this wedding photojournalism, others call it documentary wedding photography.
