Amy Newton is an award-winning Leyland wedding photographer specialising in documentary, unposed and natural images. She creates a relaxed atmosphere to capture authentic, joyful moments of your day.
Cherished Memories Photography is led by award-winning photographer Amy Newton — a Leyland-based specialist in documentary wedding photography. With more than a decade of experience, Amy’s approach is purposefully relaxed and fun: she blends into your day, photographing genuine emotion, spontaneous moments and the finer details that together tell the true story of your wedding. Why choose Amy? Her work centres on natural, unposed imagery that reflects how your day really felt. Rather than staged portraits every few minutes, Amy looks for the laughter, stolen glances and meaningful gestures that make each wedding unique. Couples appreciate her confident, upbeat manner which helps even those who feel camera-shy to relax and be themselves. Amy has a reputation for being unobtrusive yet present — ready to capture the big moments and the small ones you might otherwise miss. How she works: From your first enquiry you’ll get a personal, friendly conversation to explore your plans and priorities. Cherished Memories offers a complimentary consultation so you can discuss timings, locations and the style you love. On the day Amy arrives early to set up and quietly works around you — whether photographing bridal prep, ceremony, reception or the golden light couple portraits afterwards. Her process is calm, considered and focused on storytelling; every image is later reviewed and carefully edited to deliver a cohesive wedding collection you’ll be proud to share. Local to Leyland and serving Lancashire and beyond, Amy combines local venue experience with a flexible, client-led approach. Engagement shoots are available as a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera and make beautiful images to display at your wedding. While weddings are the heart of Cherished Memories Photography, Amy also provides family and maternity photography — offering the same natural, personal style for other life moments you want to treasure. If you’re planning a wedding in Leyland or surrounding areas and want professional, documentary-led photography that honours your day, Amy would love to hear from you and be part of your memories.
