Frank Henshall Photography

Hi, I’m Frank Henshall — a Congleton-based wedding photographer and videographer working across Cheshire and the surrounding counties. I specialise in natural, documentary wedding photography and cinematic wedding films, and I build my approach around one simple aim: to preserve the atmosphere and emotion of your day so you can relive it again and again. My style is natural, relaxed, timeless…and fun. I believe the best images come from being part of the day without getting in the way. That means blending into the background, anticipating those split-second moments, and capturing real smiles, quiet glances and laughter rather than forcing poses. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, friendly approach that helps even camera-shy couples feel at ease, and I’m proud that couples often tell me they barely noticed I was there — until they see the photos and videos and remember everything. Working with me is straightforward and personal. We’ll talk through your priorities and the feel you want for your photos and film, and I’ll use that to shape how I work on the day. I value good communication, a relaxed atmosphere and attention to detail — whether that’s the small moments in the morning, the emotion of the vows, or the fun of the evening celebrations. For couples who want moving images, I create highlights and longer documentary-style wedding films — I’m also a qualified drone pilot and can include aerial footage to add cinematic scope to your video. What makes my work different is the combination of documentary sensitivity and a love for storytelling. I’m as interested in candid, emotional snapshots as I am in well-composed portrait moments that stand the test of time. I’m also a family man — I live in South Cheshire with my wife, kids and our Labrador Betty — so I understand how important family moments are and work to capture them authentically. If you’re planning a wedding in Congleton, Cheshire, Manchester, Staffordshire or Shropshire and want a photographer who specialises in documentary wedding photography and wedding videography, I’d love to chat. I bring warmth, humour and professional experience to every event so your photos and films feel like you — honest, joyful and unforgettable.
