I’m Damian — a Denton-based documentary wedding photographer. I capture relaxed, cinematic wedding days across Denton, Manchester & Cheshire, with 35mm film and Super 8 add-ons.
I’m Damian — a documentary wedding photographer based in Denton, working across Manchester, Cheshire and beyond. I tell incredible wedding stories with an unobtrusive, cinematic approach: natural light, honest emotion and a photojournalism mindset that leaves you free to enjoy the day. Why choose me? My work blends a romantic, timeless feel with raw, intimate moments. I’m a light chaser — I look for the small gestures, the laughs, the way the light falls through a window — those frames that take you straight back to how the day felt. My style is relaxed and alternative: I don’t over-pose, I don’t stage moments; I document them. Couples choose me because I make the day easy, fun and authentic, and because I stick around — I don’t go home after the first dance. The party is part of the story and I’m there until the end to capture it. How I work with you matters. From our first conversation I focus on building a relaxed, friendly relationship so you feel at ease in front of the camera. On the wedding day I blend in with guests, stay unobtrusive and look for genuine interactions — the tear on a shoulder, the cheeky grin across the room, the chaos on the dancefloor. I love becoming friends with the couples I photograph; that trust creates better images and a better experience. I also shoot 35mm film — it’s a favourite medium of mine for its soul, grain and imperfect beauty. If film is your vibe I’ll include rolls during the day or shoot a 50/50 digital and film fusion. As an optional add-on I offer Super 8 wedding films to give your story moving texture and atmosphere — a complementary touch rather than a primary commercial focus. Whether you’re planning a Denton celebration, a Cheshire country house wedding or a destination party, my aim is the same: cinematic, emotive wedding photography that reads like the day you remember. I welcome enquiries from couples who want a relaxed vibe, a documentary approach and real, timeless images that will be handed down through generations.
