Paul Haywood Photography

As a specialist wedding photographer based in Great Wyrley, I focus entirely on creating honest, timeless images that tell the story of your day. With more than two decades of professional experience and a background working for clients such as the BBC and Arts Council England, my approach is quietly confident: contemporary documentary wedding photography with a creative flair. Why choose me? I aim to deliver professional wedding photos that feel authentic and unforced. My priority is to keep the experience relaxed and unobtrusive so you can enjoy the day while I capture the moments as they unfold—from preparations through to the first dance and beyond. I avoid cheesy poses and heavy-handed direction; instead I look for the natural, expressive instants that best represent the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding. How I work with couples is straightforward and personal. Before the wedding we’ll talk through your day, preferred style and any specific shots you care about. On the day I blend into the background, using available light and refined technique to produce consistent, beautiful images. After the wedding, every photograph goes through a careful editing process to ensure a polished, cohesive final gallery. Your images are delivered via a private online gallery, making it simple to share with family and friends, and there are premium hand-made album options available for those who want a lasting keepsake. I also photograph engagement and bridal sessions that complement wedding coverage — relaxed shoots that help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and provide beautiful images for invitations, save-the-dates or prints. While my core specialism is wedding photography, I bring the same attention to detail and visual storytelling to these sessions. I cover weddings across the Midlands and the UK and take on a limited number of bookings each year to ensure every couple receives my full attention. If you’re looking for a Great Wyrley wedding day photographer who combines documentary instincts with a refined, contemporary aesthetic, I’d love to hear about your plans and discuss how we can capture your wedding in a way that feels genuinely yours.
