My aim is to allow you to look back at your images and relive the emotions from your day. The love, the nerves, the laughter and of course the (dubious) post tequila dance moves . . .

FAQS

Where are you based?

I'm based in Manchester but I travel throughout the UK and also shoot destination weddings so feel free to pack me up and take me away with you.

Whats the most important aspect of selecting a photographer?

Selecting someone who is going to capture your wedding is such a personal choice. There are so many fantastic photographers out there its sometimes hard to know where to start. My one constant piece of advice has always been to never select a photographer based on their images alone. It's a strange concept to think that aside from each other, your photographer is most likely going to be the person who is around you the most on your wedding day. It's sometimes overlooked but you really need to gel well with whoever is behind the camera. That person needs to be able to keep you calm during the inevitably nervous moments and make you feel comfortable to get the most natural pictures of you as a couple. Always arrange to have a coffee or get to know your photographer before making a choice. If you feel like 10 minutes chatting is like dragging your knuckles down a brick wall... imagine what they'll do to you across a full wedding day!

What do you love most about shooting weddings?

In short . . . I've always thought that it's a privilege to be part of people's wedding days. The emotions that come with the day has always been a driving force behind my photography and capturing this, whether its the nerves during morning prep, the laughter ( normally in the form of you slowly dying of embarrassment) during the speeches or the looks of pure unadulterated love between couples just after they officially tie the knot . . . it's these moments why I love doing what I do . . . plus free cake (who doesn't love cake?)

One piece of advice for couples getting married?

You do you! Whether you want a more traditional wedding with 150-200 people or you just want to elope, the two of you are the most important element of the day, don't forget this and let it warp into something you don't want.

Testimonials

Can’t thank Adam enough for being part of our day! He really took the time to get to know our preferred style beforehand along with any particular moments we were looking to capture - the end photos were just fantastic and way exceeded our expectations! On the day he made everyone feel so much at ease, capturing the whole day without anything feeling forced or unnatural. The bridal party and guests (young and old!) all felt comfortable and had such a laugh with him throughout the day - he even managed to capture fantastic photos of grumpy toddlers having a ball! Adam has a great energy and personality, and considering he’s over 6ft he managed to blend in when needed and capture every moment in a natural and relaxed way. Not only is he such an incredibly talented photographer he’s also one of the nicest guys you can ever meet, I really can’t recommend him enough!

Emma & Guy

We would definitely recommend Adam to anyone. For our wedding photography we wanted relaxed and candid photos rather than traditional posed pictures, and Adam did an amazing job. His photographs captured moments in our wedding that we would otherwise have missed; he made everyone feel at ease and got some really fantastic shots which are loved by us and our families. Adam made what could have been an awkward situation into a relaxed and enjoyable experience, which when photographing two awkward people is no mean feat! We are really grateful for all his hard work!

Chris & Maddie

I don't think I can really adequately sum up how wonderful Adam is - now I know that may seem a bit gushing but... We had originally asked Adam to shoot our wedding (which was being arranged super quick as my Dad was terminally ill) however he wasn't available and that could have been all I'd have to write in a review. Instead he offered us a family photoshoot to capture some photos of us all together and refused to let us pay for it. My Dad always hated having his photo taken and definitely had his doubts about the shoot - yet despite him feeling pretty awful (he went back into hospital the next day), Adam managed to capture some absolutely amazing shots. He was kind, caring and professional throughout and created some beautiful images for us to treasure. It then became clear that my Dad probably wouldn't make the date we had planned for our wedding. We decided to bring the ceremony forward and asked Adam if he would put up with us again. Once again it was an amazing experience - he's able to be ever present without you noticing he's there and the photos that he captured were incredible. Oh and in case you were wondering he donated all of this fee to the hospice where my Dad spent his last few weeks (with one of Adam's photos of us all in a frame next to his bed.) I wouldn't think twice about recommending Adam to anyone. He's equally as wonderful a person as a photographer. He'll make you feel completely relaxed and you'll have a lot of fun - there surely can't be any better combination.

Anna & Dave

If you want a photographer who listens, understand and delivers precisely what you are looking to capture in your photographs, look no further. We asked for very natural, uncontrived photographs of our wedding day and our expectations were surpassed. The true character and expressions we know and love of our family and friends came out in our photographs. Everybody thought Adam was family, he seemlessly fitted into the day going above and beyond, even entertaining the children whilst we had our wedding breakfast; the kids loved him. 5* reivew for a 5* guy.

Wendy & Steve

Adam kept us as ease from start to finish and listened to the type of photos we were after. Adam's chilled personality made the girls feel completely comfortable with the bridal prep shoot and the guests had a great laugh with him throughout the day. Adam has captured so many gorgeous moments from our day and we will treasure the photos forever. Fantastic photographer and all round top guy! Couldn't recommend him enough.
