Capturing weddings in Stoke-on-Trent

Stoke-on-Trent is the Potteries city with a diverse community. We regularly photograph weddings throughout Hanley, Burslem and Longton and the surrounding part of Staffordshire. We are equally at home at a city townhouse, a stately home or a country barn.

Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present at your own church or civil ceremony rather than posing for it. We photograph with warmth and care through the vows, the speeches and the toasts, mindful of how much the day means. We take the time beforehand to understand the order of your church or civil ceremony and the plans for the reception.

Wherever your venues are across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire, we plan the route and the timings in advance. Stoke-on-Trent is the Potteries city with a diverse community. We also photograph in nearby Stafford and Burton upon Trent. Around Stoke-on-Trent we regularly photograph at Moddershall Oaks, The Upper House and The Ashes Barns, among others.

Stoke-on-Trent is the Potteries city, historically the centre of the English ceramics industry, formed from six towns. Stoke-on-Trent railway station is on the West Coast Main Line, with the A500 linking to the M6. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as The Trentham Estate with its Italian Gardens and lakeside walks, with Trentham Gardens and the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

From the ceremony to the celebration

From the processional to the confetti, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. The readings and the hymns each have their place, and we photograph them as they happen. The confetti line outside is pure joy, and we are ready for every handful thrown.

The wedding breakfast is the seated meal, and we photograph the room, the toasts and the details. The speeches bring laughter and tears, from the father of the bride to the best man, and we capture them all. We capture the receiving line, when the couple greet their guests one by one, with warmth.
