Lauren was amazing from the first point of contact, to our wedding day and beyond. From our initial meeting, we knew Lauren was going to do an amazing job. She asked all about us and what type of pictures we wanted, timings for the day, the wedding party etc. We kept in touch up until the wedding and when the big day arrived she was instrumental in the running of the day. We can’t thank Lauren and Kieran enough for making us feel so at ease, getting involved and having a laugh. Our guests commented on how lovely they both were and how fantastic the photos are. Thank you so much!

Lauren Norris- *****

Lauren was honestly like a breath of fresh air on our wedding day! She blended in so naturally with our guests, it felt like having another friend there rather than a photographer. She kept us calm during those nerve-wracking moments and somehow managed to capture everything – from the big emotional moments to the little candid laughs we didn’t even notice happening. Her energy was so positive and reassuring, and she never made us feel posed or staged. The photos are everything we hoped for – romantic and relaxed. We can’t recommend her enough!

My Approach to Storytelling Through Photography

  • Yes — while my style is mainly documentary and focused on natural, candid moments, I know how important formal portraits are for your family. I approach them in a relaxed, organised way so we capture them quickly and beautifully, leaving you free to enjoy the rest of your day. This means you’ll have a wedding gallery that blends authentic storytelling photography with elegant, timeless family portraits.

  • Traditional wedding photography can sometimes feel static or overly posed. My approach is more organic — a balance of candid documentary moments and stylish editorial imagery. I focus on real interactions, creative composition, and natural light to give couples in Cheshire, the UK, and beyond a refined yet relaxed wedding photography experience.

  • Most of my couples tell me they feel awkward having their photo taken, and that’s completely normal. My unobtrusive, documentary style means I capture you naturally, without stiff posing. I guide you only when needed, so your images feel authentic, romantic, and completely “you.” My goal is for you to forget the camera is even there.

  • Absolutely. Every element — from your wedding rings and stationery to your floral arrangements and table décor — is part of your story. I photograph them in context so they feel connected to the emotions and atmosphere of the day. Whether it’s a Cheshire manor house or an Amalfi Coast villa, these thoughtful details add richness to your wedding gallery.

  • Definitely. While I’m based in Cheshire, I travel across the UK and internationally for weddings. Whether you’re planning an intimate countryside celebration or a multi-day destination wedding abroad, I bring the same attention to detail, artistry, and storytelling to every location.

  • After your wedding, you’ll receive a beautifully curated online gallery showcasing 800+ fully edited images that flow like a visual storybook of your day. Many couples choose to elevate this further with a luxury fine art wedding album, 35mm film prints. For those couples who choose to have highlights film added to their package ensures their wedding day is not just frozen in time, but it can be relived every time you watch it.

  • Absolutely not. I adore capturing all seasons of life. From maternity to family shoot- please click on the link below for more information
