What Does a Full Day of Wedding Photography Actually Look Like?

Intimate wedding ceremony at Manchester Register Office, natural wedding photography for micro-weddings and elopements.

The Essential Narrative Package Price: £495

Focused coverage for intimate celebrations and micro-weddings.

Not every wedding needs a full-day production. If you are planning a smaller celebration, a Manchester Register Office ceremony, or a sophisticated micro-wedding, this package is designed to capture the core of your story without unnecessary fluff. With 4 hours of coverage, we focus on the high-emotion chapters: the arrival, the ceremony, and the immediate celebrations with your closest circle.
What’s included:
● Precision Storytelling: The same 20 years of expertise and documentary style, condensed into your most important hours.● Manchester City Expertise: Perfect for urban elopements or intimate venues like Ordsall Hall or local boutique hotels.● The 'Sneak Peek' Highlights: A selection of edited images delivered within 48 hours to share with those who couldn't be there.● High-Resolution Digital Gallery: Your curated collection delivered via a secure, private link for easy sharing and downloading.● Flexible Timing: We work together to ensure those 4 hours cover the specific moments that matter most to you.
Ideal for elopements, register office ceremonies, and guest lists of under 30 people.

Extended Celebration Coverage Price £195

Sometimes the best stories are told after the sun goes down. Whether your speeches are running over or you want to ensure the energy of the dance floor is fully documented, you can extend your coverage for £195 per hour.
Adding extra time allows for a more relaxed pace, ensuring I can capture those spontaneous, late-night moments—the heartfelt hugs, the 'unofficial' speeches, and the full atmosphere of your evening party. If you aren't sure how much time you need, I can help you map out a timeline that ensures not a single chapter is missed.

The 'Camera-Shy' Connection Session Price £195

Think of this as a relaxed dress rehearsal for your wedding day. For £195, we’ll spend an hour at a location of your choice—perhaps where you got engaged or a favorite Manchester park—to get you comfortable in front of the lens.

There are no stiff poses here. My goal is to break down the '
camera nerves' so that by your wedding morning, my presence feels like a friend in the room rather than a stranger with a camera. You’ll receive a gallery of natural, high-resolution images that are perfect for 'Save the Date' cards or wedding décor, but the real value is the confidence you’ll feel when the big day arrives.
