Natural & fun storytelling with a hint of modern romance

Wedding Photography & Videography for couples who planned an epic day!

Manchester-based covering the whole of the UK and beyond.

 

 

Hey you two – massive congrats! I’m guessing you’re here because you’re planning an epic wedding and looking for someone to capture it all in a way that actually feels like you. You want the vibe, the emotions, the beautiful details – not forced poses and awkward smiles. If that sounds like your kind of day, then we might just be the perfect match.

 

I’m Michelle Louise – an award-winning wedding photographer and videographer who’s all about real connection, storytelling, and fun. I’m based in Manchester, but I travel across the North, the whole of the UK, and even further afield for destination weddings (suitcase is always ready!).

 

 

You’re planning a day that’s all about the feeling – the vibe, the energy, the people, the party.

 

And I’m here to capture every bit of it.

 

Your wedding isn’t just a schedule of events – it’s a whole experience. It’s the way your heart races walking down the aisle, your gran sneaking a tissue during the vows, your mates tearing up the dance floor later that night. And I’m there for all of it.

 

I shoot what I see – genuine moments, real emotions, and those in-between bits that make your day uniquely yours. No awkward posing here. Instead, I’ll gently guide you into the best light, crack a few bad jokes, and help you feel completely at ease. That’s when the natural smiles and big belly laughs come out.

 

It’s not 100% candid – a little structure helps your day flow smoothly. We’ll make time for gorgeous couple portraits (the fun, relaxed kind), and the group shots if you want them. I’ll always give you enough direction so you feel confident, but never stiff or staged.

 

 

Real moments. Real emotion. Real memories.

 

With a good dose of party energy and storytelling magic.

 

Here's what you really want to know...

    •    I position, don’t pose. Natural smiles > awkward stares.

    •    Capture the vibe. The laughs, the chaos, the tenderness, the PARTY.

    •    Shoot what I see. The big moments, and the little ones you thought nobody noticed.

    •    Details matter. You’ve invested time and money into your day – I’ll make sure it shows.

    •    Structure helps, but it never gets in the way of the fun.

    •    No tree hugging. Promise.

 

 

By the end of the night, I’ll have probably made a few new best friends, snapped the wildest dance floor moves, and maybe joined you for a shot (if I’m not driving, of course). I blend right in – part of the fun, but always tuned in to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

 

I do this full-time, and I bloody love it. Getting to meet awesome couples like you and document the best days of your lives? It’s an absolute privilege.

 

So if you’re ready to ditch the stiff poses, trust someone who gets the vibe, and have fun with it – I’m your girl.

 

 

Let’s do this!

 

Have a scroll, check out my work, and get in touch if you feel like we’d be a good fit.

Your wedding is going to be unreal – and I’d love to be the one to tell your story.
