Manchester-based documentary wedding photographer with nearly 20 years of experience. I capture natural, story-led images with a calm, unobtrusive approach — helping couples feel relaxed, looked after, and free to enjoy their day. Cherished Images is a Manchester-based wedding photography studio led by James, an experienced documentary wedding photographer with nearly two decades in the industry. My approach is calm, natural, and unobtrusive — focused on real moments, genuine emotion, and the small details that often go unnoticed. Rather than directing your day, I blend into the background so you can be fully present while your story unfolds naturally. Couples often tell me they felt reassured from the very first conversation, knowing they were in safe hands. From relaxed morning preparations to the energy of the evening celebrations, I work thoughtfully and quietly, capturing images that feel authentic and timeless. Based in Manchester and covering the North West and beyond, I photograph weddings of all sizes and styles — always with care, professionalism, and a genuine investment in the people I’m photographing.
