Heysham wedding specialist David Ainsworth creates relaxed, documentary wedding photography that captures real moments. Over 300 weddings photographed; tailored packages and videography available.
I specialise in wedding photography from my base in Heysham, covering Lancashire and parts of Cumbria. My aim is simple: to capture genuine moments and create professional wedding photos that you’ll treasure for decades. With more than 300 weddings photographed, I’ve developed a friendly, relaxed approach that helps couples feel at ease — so the smiles, laughter and quiet moments you remember are the ones that appear in your album. My style is natural and unobtrusive. I blend documentary-style coverage with thoughtful portrait time so you get a full record of the day — candid scenes as they unfold alongside beautiful bride-and-groom portraits. I believe every wedding is unique, which is why I tailor each shoot to your vision. Before the day we’ll sit down (or talk by phone) to plan the moments that matter to you, from ceremony details to the family group shots and those locations you love for couple portraits. As a Heysham-based wedding day photographer I’m used to local venues and the practicalities of Lancashire and Cumbria weddings, but I bring the same calm, professional approach to every job — whether it’s an intimate registry service or a larger celebration. I offer options to include cinematic videography, stop-motion highlights and the support of a second shooter when you want fuller coverage — all designed to work seamlessly with the photography so your memories feel complete. Beyond the wedding day I provide supporting services such as image editing, high-quality printing and photo restoration. These are available if you’d like finished prints, albums or restored family images to complement your wedding collection. While weddings are my primary focus, I also undertake engagement and portrait sessions to create portfolios or pre-wedding images that reflect your personalities. If you want a professional wedding photographer who listens, adapts and delivers a relaxed experience with consistently strong results, get in touch. I’ll work with you to create a personalised plan so your wedding photography fits your day exactly — capturing the story of your celebration in a way that’s authentic and timeless.
