I’m a wedding photographer with a choice of photography packages to suit all budgets. Based in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, strategically positioned at the heart of the North East of England.
From the bridal preparations to your first dance, many months or even years of preparing for your wedding comes down to just one special day. A wedding day can be busy, and sometimes moments of your day pass by too quickly. That’s where a skilled wedding photographer comes in – to capture the splendour of one of the most amazing days of your life, preserving those memories forever.

All of my photography packages include a pre-wedding consultation, conducted either in person or virtually, depending on location. This provides an opportunity to discuss your specific needs. I can show you various examples of my work so that you can decide which style you like. I take pride in offering impeccable customer service, ensuring a seamless experience from the outset. By entrusting your photography to me, you can focus on other aspects of your special day, confident that your visual story is in capable hands. To preview the magic that awaits, explore a selection of my wedding photography on the portfolio page.

During the editing stage, all images are carefully handpicked and expertly edited. All packages include a USB stick in an elegant wooden presentation box, accompanied by a set of complimentary 4×6 prints to get you started. Your collection boasts both high-resolution and low-resolution files, suitable for both printing and social media sharing. Additionally, images are available in both vibrant color and classic black and white. To provide you the freedom you deserve, each collection is accompanied by a print release form, granting you the liberty to print and share these cherished memories for your personal enjoyment – because these photos are yours to treasure for a lifetime.

Typically, your photos will be ready 4 to 6 weeks after your wedding day. Keep an eye on my Facebook page for a sneak peek into the progress of your images – a delightful preview of the memories we’ve captured together!

Fantastic photographer, captured our wedding day perfectly, would 100% recommend.Connor & Louise,

Chris photographed our wedding at the Crab and Lobster in Thirsk, I can’t recommend him enough, he’s amazing! He is friendly and attentive, he got all the photos we wanted and more (despite the intermittent snow showers and blinding sun) and he’s very reasonably priced! Thank you again Chris, I will definitely recommend you!Andrew & Katie,

Chris was our fantastic photographer when we renewed our wedding vows at the beautiful Walworth Castle, our son has autism and Chris was great with him. We had a sneaky peak at some photos cant wait to receive the rest thanks again ChrisDebbie & Kevin,

Chris was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. He went above and beyond to make our day special. The images we have are fantastic. We have a great combination of posed, natural and fun photos from our day. When we received the photos there were images we did not realise that he had taken. Truly can't recommend him enough. He was brilliant with the kids and made sure he got photos of all our guests. He is the photographer you need for your big day.Nicola & Arron,
