Living right here in Urmston, photographing weddings at Davyhulme Park Golf Club is genuinely on my doorstep. Founded in 1911 and designed by five-time Open Champion J.H. Taylor, this parkland sanctuary combines lush, tree-lined fairways with a distinctive 1920s Art Deco clubhouse and covered veranda.
Between the dramatic weeping willow tree and panoramic golden-hour sunsets over the greens, it’s a brilliant setting for relaxed celebrations. My approach is 100% natural and unposed: no awkward directing, no stiff group lineups, and no pulling you away from your guests for hours. Here is a look inside Chloe and Dan’s unscripted celebration.
Natural documentary photography for couples who care about real moments, not endless posing.
When Chloe and Dan first reached out, they wanted a celebration that felt like an effortless summer garden party surrounded by their closest friends and family. Following their ceremony, the party spilled outdoors onto the clubhouse patio and covered veranda for clinking glasses and genuine belly laughs.
Shooting with silent electronic shutters and available light, I captured the candid hugs, spontaneous toasts, and children playing on the lawns without a single intrusive interruption.
The flow of Davyhulme Park means guests can wander freely with drinks while soaking in the open parkland scenery, keeping the entire day joyful, upbeat, and stress-free.
Honest documentary highlights from Chloe & Dan’s celebration.

When it comes to couple photos, there is no cheese, no rigid posing, and you will never be dragged away from your reception for an hour.
Instead, we take a quiet 10-minute stroll just steps from the patio to the iconic cascading weeping willow and tree-lined fairways. It gives you a welcome breather as newlyweds with a drink in hand while I capture natural, relaxed portraits in gorgeous parkland light.
As evening fell, golden-hour light swept across the greens before everyone headed inside the 1920s ballroom. From heartfelt speeches to a packed, high-energy dance floor, I documented the wild evening party from right in the crowd without blinding flashes.

"James was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! Being based right here in Urmston, he knew Davyhulme Park like the back of his hand. He took us out to the willow tree for a quick 10-minute walk where we got the most incredible, relaxed photos, and we were back with our guests having drinks before we even knew it. Completely stress-free and unposed—we couldn't recommend him more!"
