Specialist Peak District wedding photographer and videographer based in High Peak. I capture candid, documentary-led weddings with cinematic films and authentic photos—calm, creative, and tailored to you.
Pete Crossland Photography & Videography is a specialist wedding service rooted in the Peak District and based in High Peak. Pete approaches weddings as stories to be told — honest, emotive, and shaped by the people at their centre. If you want images and films that feel natural rather than posed, his documentary-led style and cinematic videography deliver moments you’ll come back to again and again. Why choose Pete? His work blends a calm, unobtrusive presence with a clear eye for atmosphere and detail. Whether it’s the quiet of morning preparations, the spontaneous laughter during speeches, or the intimacy of an evening first dance, Pete’s priority is to capture how your day genuinely felt. He listens first — taking time to understand what matters to each couple — then crafts a bespoke approach that fits your wedding, your timeline, and your personality. How he works: Pete favours a relaxed, collaborative process. Every wedding begins with a pre-wedding catch-up so plans are clear and nerves are eased. On the day, he moves quietly through the room, looking for real moments and authentic reactions rather than staging shots. Post‑wedding, your images are hand-edited and presented in a private online gallery, while cinematic highlight films are professionally edited and scored to reflect your day’s mood. For couples who love analogue, Pete can incorporate film photography into wedding coverage to add a warm, tactile layer to your collection. Beyond capturing emotion, Pete brings professional production values to every project. His videography uses quality audio capture for vows and speeches and can include optional drone footage for dramatic venue or landscape perspectives. He also works with businesses and brands, so if you’re combining wedding photography with commercial or event content, Pete understands how to deliver polished visuals that serve both memory and message. Based in High Peak and regularly shooting across the Peak District and the UK, Pete is available for local and destination weddings. If you value storytelling, authenticity, and cinematic craft in your wedding photography and videography, get in touch to discuss your plans and start shaping the story you want to remember.
