Thao at Memory Photography UK specialises in documentary-style wedding photography in Farnworth. She captures candid, joyful moments with a relaxed, editorial eye—authentic images you'll treasure.
I'm Thao, the photographer behind Memory Photography UK — a fun, relaxed, and documentary-led wedding photography service based in Farnworth, serving Manchester and couples across the UK. I believe the best wedding photos come from real moments, not forced poses. My aim is simple: to create beautiful, honest images that feel like you and tell the story of your day as it naturally unfolds. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with an editorial eye. I work quietly and attentively, watching for the fleeting glances, spontaneous laughter and small details that reveal the real emotion of your wedding. When direction is needed, I keep it gentle and natural — encouraging you to move, interact and be yourselves rather than standing still for staged poses. The result is a gallery of photographs that are both timeless and true to your relationship. Photography has been my passion since childhood. I was inspired by my dad’s habit of capturing family moments, and after studying and working as a product and event photographer in a marketing environment, I followed my passion into wedding photography. That background taught me how to balance technical precision with creative storytelling — so your images are not only beautiful but carefully crafted. Working with me is easy and relaxed. I prioritise getting to know you, understanding your day, and creating a calm atmosphere where the camera fades into the background. Whether it’s a quiet ceremony or a lively reception, I focus on capturing emotion, atmosphere, and those candid slices of life that become your lasting memories. Many couples appreciate my friendly, attentive manner and swift communication — I aim to make the whole experience enjoyable from our first chat to your final gallery. While weddings are my core speciality, I also offer engagement and pre-wedding sessions and run a cozy studio in Warrington for portraits, families and pets when you want something more posed or intimate. But on your wedding day my full focus is on documenting your story with warmth, creativity and care. If you value natural, heartfelt wedding photography with a relaxed, editorial touch, I’d love to hear about your plans and capture the moments that matter most.
