Stanbury Photography

We are David & Jane Stanbury — a husband & wife team of Hindley-based wedding photographers and filmmakers devoted to telling your wedding story with heart. Our work sits at the intersection of documentary storytelling and editorial craft: mostly unobtrusive, always attentive, and designed to deliver PHOTOS YOU CAN FEEL. Over decades of shooting weddings across Cheshire, the Lake District, Scotland and beyond, we’ve honed an approach that balances authenticity with a timeless, elegant aesthetic. Why choose us? Because we specialise in wedding photography and wedding films. As experienced practitioners of HYBRID SHOOTING, we pair documentary-led stills with cinematic highlight films so you can experience the emotion of the day in both image and motion. Our signature is subtle — we’re the ‘fly-on-the-wall’ observers who notice the small, honest gestures and the big, unscripted moments. We combine 80% documentary storytelling with 20% creative, editorial composition to create images that feel true to your day. How we work with you: we prioritise connection and calm. Before the wedding we’ll get to know you — often with a relaxed pre-wedding (engagement) session — so on the day you feel comfortable rather than posed. We capture the essential family moments efficiently, then create space for relaxed couple portraits that don’t feel staged. During the day we move with the flow, anticipating emotion and light, while being ready to create striking editorial frames when the moment arrives. Our films follow the same philosophy. We produce cinematic wedding highlight films crafted in a documentary style — concise, emotive and unscripted. The result is a keepsake that brings you back to the feeling of the day without the long, staged format of old-fashioned wedding videos. Passion and experience drive everything we do. We love the laughter, the tears, the party and the quiet in-between moments — and we treat each wedding as a unique story to be preserved with care. If you’re planning your wedding in Hindley, Cheshire or elsewhere in the UK and you want timeless, emotive photography and film from a dedicated specialist team, let’s talk and tell your story together.
