William Hickie Photography

William Hickie is a specialist wedding photographer based in Denton, GB, known for relaxed, natural and documentary-style coverage of weddings across the Peak District, Manchester and Tameside. With eight years behind the lens and a background in outdoor events and landscape work, Will brings a confident, calm presence to your day — quietly capturing the real moments rather than staging them. Why choose Will? His work is rooted in authenticity. He thrives on outdoor celebrations and knows how to use the Peak District’s dramatic backdrops to create emotive bridal and couple portraits without interrupting the flow of your day. From intimate elopements on a ridge to larger countryside receptions, Will focuses on candid emotion: laughter, quiet glances, and the little details that make each wedding unique. What makes his approach special is a genuine love of place and people. Will blends documentary instincts with an eye honed by landscape photography and workshops — giving him a knack for composition, light and timing. He meets couples more than once beforehand so you feel comfortable and familiar on the day. Engagement shoots are a natural part of his process, often set in the Peaks to test locations and capture relaxed portraits ahead of the wedding. How he works: get in touch and expect a prompt reply within 24 hours. Will begins with an initial chat (phone or video), a planning meeting to pin down timings and venues, and a second meeting to finalise details. On the day you’ll find a supportive, unobtrusive photographer who blends into the moments and moves with the event. Sneak peeks are sent in around 72 hours; the full, carefully edited high-resolution gallery follows within four weeks. Optional fine art albums and limited-edition prints are available for couples who want a tangible legacy. Will’s personal story — an enduring passion for the outdoors and creative work — feeds everything he does. He’s built his business from the ground up, runs workshops in the Peak District, and continues to learn and adapt. If you want a wedding photographer who specialises in honest, beautiful storytelling and knows how to make outdoor weddings sing, William Hickie brings care, experience and that Peak District magic to your day.
