South Cumbria & Lake District wedding photographer. Your day, your way.
I’m Mark, a Manchester-based wedding photographer who travels to South Cumbria and the Lake District. I’m there for the people, the views and the moments you didn’t know were happening — without turning your wedding into a long photoshoot.
19 years
Photographing weddings full time.
3–5 working days
The usual turnaround for your edited photo gallery.
Guest QR uploads
Included with every full-day package.
The place matters. So do your people.
The lake views are lovely. The day is yours.
A wedding in the South Lakes can move from a ceremony with a view to a lively room full of your favourite people. I’ll photograph both without pulling you away for ages. We can make a little time for portraits, work around the light and whatever the weather is doing, then get you back to the day.
Relaxed photography
Candid moments, family photographs that matter and natural portraits without a long list of poses.
Photo and highlight film
Add a highlight film if you’d like the voices, movement and laughter alongside your photographs.
A gallery made for you
A private couples gallery for sharing, downloading and, with full-day packages, guest photo and video uploads by QR code.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about South Cumbria and Lake District wedding coverage
Do you travel from Manchester to South Cumbria and the Lake District?
Yes. I’m based in Manchester and cover weddings beyond my home area. Send me your venue and date and I’ll confirm the practical travel details before you make a decision.
What if the weather changes on our wedding day?
We’ll make the most of the light and setting available on the day. The story is your people and what happens together; portraits can be flexible and don’t have to take over the schedule.
Can we have wedding photography and video together?
Yes. There are options for a highlight film alongside your photographs, and Platinum includes ceremony and speeches recording. See the current package details for the exact inclusions.
Can we see complete wedding galleries before enquiring?
Absolutely. The real weddings linked above and the portfolios page show much more than a handful of favourite photographs. Have a look and see whether my relaxed style feels right for you.
