Ruby Salmon Photography

I’m Ruby Salmon, a documentary wedding photographer based in Birkenhead, working across the Wirral and the surrounding UK. My photography is rooted in a natural, relaxed approach — I aim to be invisible when you need me to be, and quietly present for the moments that matter. I specialise in wedding and engagement photography, capturing the kind of honest, candid images that show what your day really felt like rather than what it looked like on paper. My style is modern and understated: I look for small gestures, fleeting glances and unposed laughter. I believe the best wedding photos come from a calm, friendly atmosphere where couples and guests can relax and be themselves. I work with gentle direction so you never feel staged or overwhelmed, and I prioritise light, composition and timing to create images that tell a coherent and emotional story of your day. Working with me starts with a conversation. I take time to understand what matters to you — whether that’s the quiet moments between vows, the chaotic joy of a packed dance floor, or a soft, intimate portrait in a favourite outdoor spot. On the day I’m documentary-first: I photograph the events as they unfold, stepping in only to guide a few key portraits or family groupings. For elopements, micro-weddings and engagement sessions I bring the same relaxed documentary sensibility, shaping a small, personal narrative that feels true to you. Why choose me? My work is driven by storytelling and authenticity. I’m dedicated to making clients feel comfortable in front of the camera so the resulting photos are genuine and expressive. Based in Birkenhead, I know the local venues and light well, and I enjoy creating bespoke, timeless images that couples treasure. If you want wedding photography that focuses on real moments and calm, creative storytelling, let’s talk. I love hearing about your plans and how you imagine your day — then capturing those memories in a way that still feels like you years from now.
