Roberta's Real Photography

I’m Roberta — a wedding specialist based in Ashton in Makerfield, passionate about capturing real moments as they happen. With over eight years behind the camera and formal training (Level 2 in Photography plus an MSc in Creative Industries Management), I combine creative vision with a calm, professional approach to your wedding day. My style is natural and documentary: I look for the small, unscripted moments that tell the true story of your day — the laughter, quiet glances, and those fleeting details that might otherwise be forgotten. I aim to be unobtrusive, blending into the background so guests relax and genuine emotion comes through. If you prefer a little guidance in front of the camera, I offer gentle direction to help you feel comfortable without staging long, awkward poses. Working with me is straightforward and personal. For couples who book a full-day service we meet virtually beforehand so we arrive on the day feeling like friends rather than strangers. I make a point of understanding the flow of your day and your priorities, so I can capture the moments that matter most to you. After the wedding you’ll receive a secure, password-protected online gallery where you and your guests can view and download images. I love documenting the whole arc of a wedding — from the intimate preparations and meaningful details to the ceremony, candid guest interactions, and the joy of the celebrations. My aim is always the same: deliver authentic, emotive images that let you relive your day for years to come. For larger celebrations I can coordinate additional coverage to ensure every angle and moment is captured. Based locally in Ashton in Makerfield but happy to travel across the UK, I bring a friendly, down-to-earth presence to every wedding I photograph. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate gathering or a lively celebration, I’ll work with you to create a relaxed atmosphere where real moments can unfold naturally. If you’d like to talk about your plans or see recent weddings I’ve shot, I’d love to hear from you — let’s make sure your wedding photos tell your story exactly as it happened.
