Rob Clayton Photography

Rob Clayton Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Bury, serving couples across Greater Manchester and the UK. Rob’s work is built around a simple belief: the best wedding photos come from moments that feel real, not staged. That ethos drives everything he does on a wedding day — from the first conversation to the final edited images. Why choose Rob Clayton? With a reputation for calm professionalism and a 5.0 rating from delighted couples, Rob blends a documentary-led eye with thoughtful direction when it’s needed. He concentrates on capturing the small, telling moments: the laugh shared at a table, the look exchanged at the altar, the quiet seconds between formalities. Those images combine to tell a faithful, beautiful story of your day. Rob’s approach is intentionally relaxed and unobtrusive. He spends time planning with you before the wedding to understand what matters most, then works quietly during the day to let events unfold naturally. When portraits are wanted, he guides couples gently to create confident, flattering images without interrupting the momentum of the celebrations. The goal is wedding photography that feels authentic, comfortable and timeless. Engagement photography is offered as a complementary way to build rapport, practice in front of the camera, and create images you’ll love for announcements and displays. These sessions are relaxed, informal and tailored to your personality — an excellent warm-up ahead of the wedding day. Rob’s experience and calm approach make him particularly well suited to couples who value natural storytelling over forced poses. He is equally comfortable photographing intimate elopements and larger traditional weddings, always focusing on genuine emotion and strong composition. While weddings are Rob’s primary focus, he also shoots portrait and nature photography occasionally — work that informs his sensitivity to light, composition and atmosphere on the wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Bury who prioritises honesty, kindness and clear storytelling in every frame, Rob Clayton Photography offers professional, heartfelt wedding and engagement photography tailored to you.
