Sunflower photo co is the wedding photography studio of Tim Churchill — an award‑winning, down‑to‑earth photographer based in Darwen who specialises in wedding photography. Tim’s work is built around capturing timeless, natural moments that feel honest and unforced. Featured in wedding publications and known for a relaxed, friendly approach, he focuses on the real emotions and small details that become the memories you’ll treasure. Why choose Tim as your wedding day photographer? He brings years of experience photographing celebrations across Darwen, Dorset, Lancashire and beyond, and understands how to blend into a busy day while still creating beautiful, composed images. Tim’s calm manner makes even camera‑shy couples feel comfortable; he listens to your priorities, plans the day with you, and quietly directs when needed so photos look effortless and natural rather than staged. Tim’s style favours authenticity over artifice — he seeks the candid smiles, the unexpected moments and the atmosphere of the day. Whether it’s bridal prep light in a cosy room, the emotion of a ceremony or the laughter of the evening, his images are edited with a timeless aesthetic that suits both modern and traditional weddings. If you want a wedding photographer who captures the story of your day with warmth and honesty, Tim is a specialist you can trust. How he works: Tim is approachable and organised from your first contact. He takes time to get to know you, helps with timings and location ideas, and keeps communication simple and friendly. On the day you’ll find him attentive but unobtrusive — working to create natural portraits and to document moments as they happen. For couples who want broader coverage, a two‑photographer option (a husband & wife team) is available to offer complementary perspectives across the day. While weddings are Tim’s primary focus, Sunflower photo co also offers family sessions as an occasional extra for clients who want relaxed, location‑based portraits. Above all, Tim’s passion is telling love stories through images that feel genuine and will stand the test of time. If you’re planning a wedding in Darwen or the surrounding counties and want a specialist wedding photographer who cares about your story, Tim Churchill would love to hear from you.
