MCR Photo & Video

MCR Photo & Video are Irlam-based wedding specialists who focus entirely on telling your wedding story with honesty, warmth and creativity. With over 10 years’ experience capturing weddings across Manchester and the UK, our approach is simple: no posing, just laughing. We specialise in natural, relaxed documentary wedding photography while also offering vibrant, laid-back wedding films that complement the stills and bring your day to life. Why choose us? We’re award-winning, and that recognition comes from consistently capturing the real moments couples care about — the nervous laugh before the vows, the tear during speeches, the unguarded joy on the dancefloor. Our priority is to look after you on the day: we’re professional, friendly and fully insured (Public Liability and Professional Indemnity), and we work unobtrusively to make sure you can enjoy the moment while we document it. Our process is built around communication. We take time to get to know every couple before the wedding — the pre-wedding shoot included in our photo + video offering helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and makes the wedding day flow more naturally. We listen to your plans, help shape timelines from a photographic and film perspective, and provide as many consultations as needed so nothing is left to chance. Stylistically we favour a documentary-led, creative approach. That means capturing candid emotion as it happens while also finding the light, angle and moment that make images sing. We’re happy to get a little adventurous to extract something special from your venue — whether that means exploring a dramatic rooftop, a quiet riverside moment, or getting low to the ground for a striking frame. We also produce feature films and highlight videos designed to tell the fuller story of your day alongside the photographs. We believe your photographs and films should be timeless and feel like you. From the initial chat to gallery delivery, our aim is the same: create beautiful, genuine memories you’ll treasure. If you’re planning a wedding in Irlam, Manchester or beyond and want relaxed, professional wedding photography and film that lets you be present, let’s talk — we’d love to hear your plans and help make your best day ever.
