Photomyself

I’m David Southern — the photographer behind Photomyself — based in Horwich and specialising in wedding photography across the NW UK. With 15+ years behind a camera and a background as an ex Premier League & EFL sports photographer, I bring a calm, observant eye to your wedding day. My aim is simple: create professional wedding photos that feel honest, unforced and true to the moment. Why choose Photomyself for your wedding? My approach is relaxed and documentary-led. I focus on real emotion and natural connections rather than staged poses, so your wedding album becomes a genuine record of the day — from quiet bridal moments to the celebratory atmosphere at the reception. I believe in a no-hassle, no-hard-sell service that lets you enjoy the day while I quietly capture the story. How I work: I blend unobtrusive reportage with thoughtful portraiture. I look for authentic moments — candid laughter, meaningful glances, the little details you’ll want to remember — and I’ll step in when needed to create classic bridal and couple portraits that sit comfortably alongside the documentary images. I also use drone/aerial imaging where appropriate to add dramatic context to venue shots and group photos, giving you a varied and professional collection of images. Local knowledge matters. Living and working in Horwich and the surrounding Rivington area, I know the best angles, light and locations for memorable wedding-day imagery. That local experience helps when planning portrait sessions, capturing venue exteriors, or timing outdoor shots for the best light. Complementary services: while weddings are my main focus, I can support your coverage with engagement photography, on-the-day video or aerial footage as required. These are offered to enhance the wedding story, not as a diversion from the core wedding photography work. My promise is straightforward: calm professionalism, creative attention to detail, and wedding photos that capture the day as it really happened. If you’d like to discuss your plans in Horwich or nearby, contact me at Photomyself — I’ll listen to what you want and help you shape a relaxed, memorable photographic record of your wedding day.
