Gareth Edwards Photography is a Chorley-based specialist in wedding photography, focused on capturing the real emotions and spontaneous moments that make each wedding unique. Gareth’s approach is calm and unobtrusive: he blends into the day so couples and guests can be themselves, while he quietly records the details, reactions and connections that tell the full story of your wedding. Why choose Gareth as your wedding day photographer? With a clear focus on weddings, Gareth brings a thoughtful, documentary-led style that balances candid reportage with carefully composed portraiture. He looks for natural light, honest expression and the small gestures that bring an album to life. The result: authentic wedding photos that feel timeless rather than staged, images you can return to again and again. How Gareth works with couples is straightforward and collaborative. From an initial conversation he listens to what matters most to you — the moments you want prioritised, the atmosphere you’re aiming for, and any meaningful family or venue details. On the day he aims to be present without being intrusive, guiding when needed for portraits and stepping back to capture spontaneous emotion. This relaxed working style helps couples feel comfortable and enjoy their day, which in turn creates more natural, expressive photographs. Local knowledge of Chorley and surrounding venues informs Gareth’s practical choices — the best light, quieter corners for portraits, and timing that fits the flow of your day. But his emphasis is always on people: connection, laughter, quiet exchanges and the little in-between moments. Each wedding is approached as its own story, and Gareth works to create a cohesive visual narrative that reflects your personalities and the character of the day. Gareth Edwards Photography is dedicated to producing professional wedding photography that stands the test of time. If you’re planning a wedding in Chorley or nearby and want a photographer who values authenticity, discretion and genuine storytelling, Gareth offers a considered, personal approach to creating wedding photos you’ll cherish for years to come.
