Burnley-based wedding specialist capturing candid, natural and dramatic-light wedding photography. Mark's relaxed, unobtrusive approach and pre-wedding consultations create confident, timeless images—twilight and aerial options available.
I specialise in wedding photography from my base in Burnley, Lancashire, and I love nothing more than quietly documenting the real, unscripted moments of your day. My approach is discreet and natural — I aim to blend into the background so you can enjoy the celebration while I capture the giggles, tears, and spontaneous moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. Most of my work is shot in beautiful natural light, which allows me to tell your story as it unfolds with genuine emotion and atmosphere. For couples who want something a little different, I also create dramatic-light and twilight portraits that add cinematic flair to a gallery of candid images. These creative moments are always balanced with an eye for authenticity — the result is a varied, timeless wedding collection that feels true to your day. Why choose me? I bring years of experience (I photographed my first wedding in 2009) and a calm, friendly presence to every event. I’m a Qualified Guild Wedding Photographer and have been fortunate to receive awards for images that capture those unexpected moments. Whether your wedding is in Burnley, Manchester, the wider Northwest or the Lake District, I work to make every couple feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. How I work: we start with a friendly consultation to understand your plans and the kinds of shots you love. I’m happy to visit venues beforehand, plan timings, and offer a pre-wedding shoot to ease any nerves and practise posing in a relaxed setting. On the day I focus on candid storytelling, with family groups and a few portrait moments worked into the flow — and if you want more creative evening shots, we’ll build that into the plan. I can also support your wider visual needs with content creation add-ons, twilight lighting, optional drone imagery and the chance to bring a second shooter when needed. While I concentrate on wedding photography as my speciality, I work with trusted videographers when couples want full video coverage. Above all, I’m driven by storytelling: creating a wedding gallery that brings you back to the feeling of the day. If you want relaxed, creative and dependable wedding photography from a Burnley-based specialist, let’s have a chat and see how I can capture your story.
