Chocolate Chip Photography

We’re Chris and Shazia — a down-to-earth, slightly rule‑breaking husband-and-wife team based in Gosforth who specialise in wedding photography. If you want someone who’ll blend into your day, capture the real, unscripted moments and still create striking, editorial images, you’re in the right place. We shoot weddings the way we live life: relaxed, honest and a little bit cinematic. Why choose Chocolate Chip Photography? Our approach is rooted in storytelling. We favour a documentary-led style that focuses on emotion, interaction and the tiny details that make your day yours. That means fewer forced poses, less faff and more of the genuine laughter, tears and party energy that make great wedding photos. Couples tell us they choose us because we feel like friends on the day — friendly, calm and totally focused on making sure you remember how it felt. What makes our work special is the mix of creative vision and real human connection. Shazia’s background in film and editorial portraiture brings a refined, cinematic eye to composition and light. Chris is an expert at putting people at ease and finding the candid moments that matter. Together we balance thoughtful, composed portraits with honest, in‑the‑moment storytelling. Our galleries show couples, families and guests being themselves — which is exactly what creates images you’ll love forever. How we work with you is simple and human. From the first chat (in-studio or online) we listen to what you care about, suggest locations and pacing that fit your plans, and make a plan that keeps the day flowing. Many couples choose a pre-wedding engagement shoot as a relaxed warm‑up — it’s a great way to feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. On the day we focus on covering the whole story: the nerves, the confetti, the speeches and the late-night shenanigans. We also offer bolt‑on video options for couples who want short ceremony, speeches and first-dance coverage alongside their photos — a helpful middle ground if you don’t want a separate videographer. At our heart we’re wedding specialists: Gosforth-based, award‑recognized and obsessed with capturing honest, timeless images for free‑spirited couples. If that sounds like you, let’s grab a coffee (or a burger and a playlist) and see if we click.
