Based in Burnley
Documentary-led
I don’t just want you to remember how your day looked — I want you to remember exactly how it felt. The nervous excitement in the morning. The laughter halfway through the speeches. That surge of energy when the dancefloor finally fills.
I work in a documentary-led, cinematic style, which means honest, unscripted moments instead of stiff, awkward posing. Your gallery should feel like a film of your day — full of the details you didn’t even notice were happening.
I’m based in Burnley and photograph weddings throughout the Ribble Valley, Clitheroe, Manchester and the wider North West — from countryside barns beneath Pendle Hill to city-centre celebrations.
My promise to you: I bring a calm, friendly, human presence to every wedding. You look your best when you feel relaxed, so my job is to create that atmosphere — and quietly handle everything else.
I’m Tom — a creative soul with a habit of noticing life’s fleeting moments. I live in Burnley with my fiancée, Rachel, and our ginger cat, Pumpkin. Rachel’s creative in her own right, now self-employed and running her own podcast, and still lends a hand with my photography now and then. Our home runs on laughter and creative energy — and I carry that same energy into every wedding I photograph.
Off duty, I’m usually still learning something — always trying to better myself, whether that’s a new skill or just a better habit. You’ll often find me out walking the Lancashire countryside, having a picnic with Rachel, or lost in a Nintendo classic with some questionable dancing thrown in.
Everything I do feeds back into my craft. The games I play, the books I read, the places I walk — they all shape how I see a wedding day. I never want two couples’ galleries to feel the same, so I approach every wedding fresh, looking for the perspective that makes your story unmistakably yours.
From the first nervous glance to the last song of the night, my goal is to capture the essence of your story in every frame — so your wedding gallery reads like the day itself, not a set of photographs. If you’re planning a wedding in Burnley, the Ribble Valley, Clitheroe, Manchester or anywhere across the North West, let’s make it something you’ll never forget.
