About Me
Northern lass / cat lady / hobbit
Hello there, let’s dive into a bit of my world! I’m Maddie, a 30-something Manchester wedding photographer. You’ll often find me with my trusty sidekick, Lilly, my perpetually grumpy but lovable cat.
When I’m not busy photographing weddings, you’ll likely find me playing video games, board games, or embarking on epic quests in Dungeons and Dragons. My desk is a treasure trove of all things kawaii – think pastel pink overload!
I have a huge love of Studio Ghibli films, (I have a tattoo of Haku from Spirited Away and some little Totoros!) I love going to gigs because let’s face it, I’m an elder emo at heart. My favourite band of the moment being Ghost. And my go-to hot drink order has to be a matcha latte.
Geekiness isn’t just reserved for hobbies though – I’m totally geeky about my job too! There’s something truly magical about capturing love stories against the backdrop of Manchester city centre, my absolute favourite place to be.

My Approach
While my aim on your wedding day is to seamlessly blend in, it’s inevitable that we’ll be spending a good amount of time together. That’s why I believe it’s important for us to connect and for both of you to feel at ease with me! It would be wonderful to have a video call before your big day to discuss your wedding plans (or simply introduce me to your adorable pets). This way, we won’t feel like strangers when the day arrives.
I bring a natural, authentic, and unobtrusive approach to my photography. While you’re busy soaking up every moment of your wedding day, I’ll be discreetly capturing all the important moments. Although the majority of your day will be photographed in a candid, documentary style, I’ll also be there to assist with your family group photos and at some point, take some relaxed portraits of you both.
I love to let events unfold naturally, ensuring your wedding story is told with genuine emotion and authenticity. So when you revisit your photos years from now, you’ll be transported right back to that magical day.
