Hi — I’m Arron and I bloody love photographing weddings. Based in Accrington, I specialise in Lancashire wedding photography with a down-to-earth, documentary-led approach that puts you at ease and lets the day unfold naturally. Why choose me? Because I treat every wedding like the proper celebration it is. I’m not a stiff, clipboard-wielding vendor — I turn up full of coffee, tell a few dad jokes, and get stuck in. My aim is to be part of the day: a friendly presence who fits in with your guests and captures the unscripted moments — the laughter, the hugs, the chaotic joy — rather than forcing staged smiles. My style is honest and relaxed. I look for the little in-between moments that tell the real story of your day: the nervous glances, the spontaneous cheers, the quiet seconds that mean everything. I prefer natural light where possible and a low-key approach to posing, so photos feel genuine and timeless rather than overly directed. Working with couples is a proper highlight. I like to meet for a brew (or a quick Zoom) to chat through plans, get to know you both, and make sure we’re a good fit. On the day I keep things calm and enjoyable — guiding when needed but otherwise capturing your day as it happens. I’ll laugh with you, chase the best light, and yes — I’ve been known to fall in a lake or get covered in prosecco to get the shot. I photograph weddings across Lancashire and the wider North, bringing local knowledge and a friendly, professional manner to every venue. Reviews often mention how easy I am to be around and how comfortable couples feel having me there — that comfort is what makes genuine images possible. If you want a wedding photographer who focuses on real moments, relaxed storytelling, and a bit of personality, let’s have a chat. I love hearing about plans, venues and the small details that make your day unique — and I’d be honoured to photograph it for you.
