Wedding photographer North West England

My name is Joe, I’m a photographer currently residing in the sunny seaside town of Southport in England. I am in my late 20’s and I have been a photographer for over 10 years. I photograph weddings in Lancashire and north-west of the UK, which I have been doing for the past 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 led to weddings. Weddings are notoriously challenging because they throw so many different genres at you. You need to know portraiture, landscape, street photography, all sorts! You need to be able to react quickly and anticipate moments, work with challenging environments. Knowing your camera inside and out is a must, there are no second chances!

When I photograph weddings I try to go unnoticed, this way I am able to capture real, authentic moments and tell the story of your day as it actually happened. This photographic style goes by many names: documentary wedding photography, reportage wedding photography, wedding photojournalism, and much more.
