Alistair Mac Photography

Alistair Mac is a Longsight-based wedding photographer who approaches each wedding as a story worth telling. With a warm, unhurried style and a love for real moments, he specialises in documentary wedding photography—quietly observing and capturing the laughs, tears and tiny glances that make your day unmistakably yours. His work is led by the belief that the best wedding photos feel like memories, not poses. Why choose Alistair? He’s a storyteller who blends into your day like a guest with a camera. That ease comes from experience shooting weddings across Yorkshire, the North West and the Lake District, and from a relaxed, people-first manner that helps even camera-shy couples feel at ease. Alistair’s signature approach is 95% candid documentary and 5% relaxed, authentic portraits: the result is a gallery of natural wedding photos that reflect who you really are. How he works with couples is straightforward and personal. First there’s a friendly chat to make sure you’re a good fit; from there Alistair offers practical guidance to help your timeline flow and your day feel calm. On the wedding day he’s calm, friendly and discreet—ready to quietly capture emotion, atmosphere and all the unscripted moments between the planned ones. After the wedding he delivers professionally edited galleries that tell the full story of your day. Alistair also understands the value of preparation. Many couples find an engagement session useful for getting comfortable in front of the camera; it’s a relaxed stroll-and-shoot that builds trust and makes portraits on the wedding day feel natural. Whether you’re planning a large countryside celebration, an intimate registry ceremony or something wonderfully different, Alistair tailors his storytelling to suit the tone of your day. Beyond technical skill, Alistair brings a genuine curiosity and a creative eye—he’s a husband, musician, hiker and coffee-lover who values connection and atmosphere. If you’re after professional wedding photos that prioritise authenticity, warmth and narrative, Alistair Mac Photography offers specialist wedding photography from Longsight across the North of England.
