Hello there, I’m Darron.
I live in Liverpool with my wonderful wife, Kate, our two amazing kids, Eira and Dylan, and our cheeky Miniature Schnauzer, Norbert—who thinks he runs the place!
Before diving into wedding photography, I spent years working as a graphic designer, which gave me an eye for composition and helped me massively with visual storytelling.
For me, the best photographs are the ones you don’t even realise are being taken. I want you to feel completely at ease so I can capture the real, unscripted moments—laughter, happy tears, surprises, and all the emotions that make your day unique.
Why wedding photography?
Because weddings are incredible! Everyone’s dressed up, celebrating, and bringing their best selves. It’s a day filled with love, joy, and connection, and it’s a privilege to document those moments.
I love the variety of every single wedding I’ve been to, and the fact that it’s such a special day to so many people and I get to be a little part of it. My goal is to give you a unique collection of photos that feel effortless and natural—telling the story of your day just as it happened.
So it goes.
Spending time with you on one of the best days of your life is a real privilege, so I feel it is only right to share more about myself so you know more about me.
I bought my first camera in 2014, whilst living in London, it was a big DSLR and I quickly became obsessed with photography.
I’m a bit of a film nerd, who grew up on Star Wars, Spielberg and all those eighties and nineties classics. Some absolute favourites include The Big Lebowski, Alien, Interstellar and Drive.
I enjoy running, my knees not so much.
I love getting out with my family on long walks whenever we can, I’m originally from The Lake District so we try and get up there a few times a year to see family and if we can end up at a good pub, I see that as a win!
I love all genres of music, I started going to festivals in my teens and have enjoyed seeing live music ever since. I’ve a decent vinyl collection now with everything from rock, punk, hip-hop, electronic, soul, chilled, and classical. Barry Can’t Swim and Jamie XX featured quite a bit on my Spotify wrapped last year.
I enjoy a bit of street/travel photography too and collecting photobooks.
I'm not a huge gamer anymore, but I still have a PlayStation, and The Last of Us is a masterpiece. I enjoyed the TV show too.
I own a pair of swimming shorts that I designed.

Letting the day flow without the posing.
Choosing a photographer who will capture the kind of images that you want is a crucial decision. Your photographer will be there for most of the day, so you want somebody with whom you’ll feel comfortable. My approach is to blend in with your guests and document real moments as they happen – like the image of this guest yawning at the top of this page. It’s not a traditional photo you would imagine when you think about wedding photography, but it’s an authentic, funny moment that helps tell the story of your day.
I don’t shout orders or ask people to pose. All I ask is that you have an awesome time and bring the happy vibes.
I try to meet all couples before the wedding to say hi and to have an initial consultation ahead of booking. If meeting in person is not possible, then an online meeting or an old-fashioned phone call is the next best thing.

So why book me as your wedding photographer?
I like to document your day in an authentic and relaxed way, and I don’t ask anyone to smile or pose for me. There’s a vast range of moments on a wedding day, from a little hand squeeze to give some encouragement to huge belly laughs during the speeches, and I try to capture this so you can look back on it with fond memories. Weddings are about the people, the details, the emotions and the setting. From getting ready in the morning until the dance floor is packed, I want you to look at your photos as if you were reliving your special day.
My style of photography is documentary or photojournalistic - meaning I don’t interfere; however, I think it’s also great to set a little time aside to get some relaxed shots of just the two of you, and this is also an excellent opportunity to enjoy a few quiet moments together. But apart from this (which I aim to do as quickly as possible), I won’t keep you away from enjoying your day and partying with your guests.
I don’t show many group shots on my site, but I take them as you wish. I’ll work with you before the wedding to finalise a list of group shots and aim to get through them as quickly as possible—usually, no more than fifteen minutes. I’m sure you would rather enjoy the day with your friends and family than spend hours standing around feeling like you’re on a photo shoot.
Every wedding is different, but your love needs to be celebrated your way! So, regardless of age, sexuality, gender, identity or race, I’m there to capture yours in all its glory. I’ll be there to document the whole day as much as possible to leave you with a beautiful collection of images you can share with loved ones today and for future generations.
