Brett Harkness Photography

I’m Brett Harkness — a wedding specialist based in Radcliffe, working across the UK to create natural, story-led wedding photography that puts couples at ease. My focus is simple: to document your day as it unfolds, honouring real connections and those little unscripted moments that become the images you return to for years. My approach is calm and unobtrusive. I aim to be part of the day without getting in the way — listening, anticipating and photographing the emotion and atmosphere rather than manufacturing it. That quiet, observational style helps couples relax and allows me to capture genuine smiles, glances and interactions that tell the full story of the wedding morning, ceremony and reception. I believe every wedding has its own rhythm and personality. Before your day I take time to understand what matters to you — the people, the moments you care about, and how you want to remember the day. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration in Radcliffe or a larger wedding elsewhere in GB, I work alongside your timeline and vendors to capture a cohesive, honest record of the day. Engagement sessions are a natural extension of my wedding work. They’re relaxed, informal shoots designed to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and to create imagery that reflects your relationship. Many couples find the session is a great way to get to know my style and approach before the wedding day. When I edit your images I prioritise timeless, natural colour and tone — subtle processing that enhances mood without feeling overworked. Delivered as an online gallery, the photographs are easy to share with friends and family and to treasure for years to come. While weddings are my primary focus, I occasionally photograph events and related celebrations. If you’re planning a wedding in Radcliffe or elsewhere in the UK and want wedding photography that’s unobtrusive, story-driven and emotionally honest, get in touch — I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can help capture them.
