Based in Formby, I specialise in wedding photography that captures genuine emotion and storytelling. My relaxed, documentary-led approach puts couples at ease for natural, timeless images.
I’m Paul, the photographer behind Bodas Photography, based in Formby and serving couples across the North West. My work is focused and simple: to capture the moments, emotions and memories that make your wedding uniquely yours. As a specialist wedding photographer I take a documentary-led approach, combining calm direction with an eye for candid detail so you get professional wedding photos that feel honest and timeless. My journey into photography began during my time in the military, where I learned to read moments, work under pressure and find beauty in the everyday. Those skills translate directly to wedding days — I’m attentive, unobtrusive and ready for the unexpected. I care about composition and light, but most of all I care about people. I aim to create an easy atmosphere so couples relax and genuine emotion can shine through in every frame. On the day I work quietly and purposefully, blending into the background while staying alert to real moments: stolen glances, laughter, the little details that tell the story of your day. My style favours natural light and authentic expression over stiff poses, producing a collection of images that feel like a true record rather than a staged production. Whether it’s intimate vows, lively receptions or quiet in-between moments, my goal is to deliver wedding photography you’ll want to look at again and again. I believe good photography starts with getting to know you. Before your wedding I’ll spend time understanding your plans and priorities so the photos reflect your story. I’m also available for engagement and bridal photography when couples want a relaxed session to practise in front of the camera or capture another chapter of their journey together. Choosing Bodas Photography means choosing an experienced, personal approach from a Formby-based wedding day photographer who values honesty, creativity and reliability. If you want wedding photos that focus on feeling and story over fuss, I’d love to hear about your plans and help preserve the memories you’ll cherish most.
