Chris Wright Photography

Chris Wright is a Haslingden-based, award-winning wedding photographer who specialises in documentary-style wedding photography. As a BIPP-qualified photographer with a background of over 30 years in advertising and graphic design, Chris brings a rare combination of creative thinking and technical polish to every wedding he covers. His work is known for personality, emotional impact and stylish composition — images that still feel authentic and full of life years on. Chris’s approach is quietly observant. He prefers to hide and watch rather than direct — catching the laughter, the small private moments, and the spontaneous gestures that tell the real story of your day. That reportage mindset produces photographs that feel genuine rather than staged, with a mix of colour and carefully chosen black-and-white that heightens emotion and focus when needed. He’s won multiple regional awards and has a reputation for producing images that couples treasure. Design matters to Chris. His long experience as a commercial graphic designer means he thinks about the final presentation from the first shot he takes. Wedding photo books and albums are designed by him with the same attention to layout and detail he applies to his photography, so your images sit in a beautifully considered, lasting format. Working with Chris is conversational and practical — he values face‑to‑face chats and getting to know each couple. Before the day he’ll discuss timings, venues and the moments you care about most; on the day he aims to be unobtrusive; afterwards he takes the time to carefully select and treat each image so the story of your wedding is told with consistency and craft. Chris also offers experienced advice on posing and group shots when couples want it, but his strength remains in capturing the unforced, character-filled moments that reveal real personality. If you’re looking for a Haslingden wedding photographer who prioritises authenticity, design-led presentation and professional accreditation, Chris Wright is focused and experienced in delivering photographs that last. If you’d like a chat (over a brew, if you prefer his preferred “social mediation”), he welcomes conversations to understand your day and how he can best document it.
