DR Photography is a Thornton-Cleveleys wedding photographer specialising in natural, relaxed storytelling. I capture candid wedding and engagement moments with a calm, personal approach.
I’m DR Photography — a Thornton-Cleveleys wedding specialist who believes the best wedding photos are the ones that feel true. Based on the Fylde Coast and working across Blackpool, Preston, St Annes and the wider North West, I focus on natural, relaxed storytelling that reflects the real emotions of your day. My aim is simple: to give you professional wedding photos that look and feel like you. Why choose me for your wedding? I bring a calm, unobtrusive presence to every celebration. Rather than directing every moment, I watch for genuine interactions — the laughter, the quiet glances and the little in‑between moments that become your favourite images. Couples often tell me they barely noticed I was there; that relaxed approach helps everyone feel at ease and produces authentic, timeless photographs. My approach is personal and straightforward. From our first conversation I take time to understand your plans, priorities and the style of images you want. I offer a no‑pressure consultation so we can talk location ideas, timings and how you’d like to remember the day. On the wedding day I blend candid coverage with thoughtful couple and group portraits, using available light and gentle posing to keep things natural. For many couples I also photograph engagement sessions — a relaxed chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and create images you can use for invites or social profiles. I treat every wedding as its own story. Whether you’re planning an intimate registry ceremony, a seaside celebration in Blackpool, or a larger gathering across Lancashire, I tailor my coverage to suit your timeline, venue and personality. As a one‑person business, you’ll work directly with me from planning to delivery — consistent communication, attention to detail and a commitment to capturing the moments that matter most. Photography is more than a job — it’s how I stay connected to the things that move me: people, place and honest emotion. If you’re looking for a Thornton-Cleveleys wedding photographer who prioritises storytelling, warmth and a relaxed experience, I’d love to hear about your plans.
