Stockport, Manchester and Cheshire Wedding Photographer,
Dave Thompson

I’m Dave, and welcome to my website. I’m very passionate about what I do, offering beautiful and natural Cheshire Wedding Photography. I also offer wedding photography throughout Stockport, Manchester and beyond. I love telling wedding stories through photography. My aim is to give you relaxed, unobtrusive and natural wedding photography- that you might call ‘real moments’ some of which you can see in my portfolio. I’m a ‘heart on my sleeve’ kind of photographer, so don’t be surprised if you see me wiping a tear from behind the camera during your ceremony! I do love weddings!

Moments that matter to YOU

As a documentary wedding photographer, I try to capture the moments that you might have missed. My editorial photography background means I come from an industry where I had to capture moments as they happened. Bringing this into my wedding photography allows me to capture the full range of emotions throughout your day, in a way that will bring those feelings back to you each time you look at your wedding photographs.

North West Wedding Awards

As a proud Cheshire wedding photographer, I was delighted to be announced Winner of the North West Wedding Awards ‘Business of the Year, 2019‘. In October 2021 I was nominated as a Regional Finalist in The Wedding Industry Awards as both Photographer of the Year and Newcomer of the year.

Family and friends

Wedding photography without posing allows you to relax, laugh and enjoy your wedding day with friends and family. You should be able to remember your wedding day as one spent with all your family and friends. I love capturing these moments from bridal prep through the ceremony, speeches and your party.

Relaxed Couples

Your wedding day should be the most memorable, relaxed day of your life. I want my couples to have fun at their wedding. That begins from the moment we first meet, through to weeks after your wedding day has passed when your final images are delivered. You can find more examples of my natural wedding photography here.

From the very first meeting with him he shared in our excitement about the day and made some brilliant suggestions for photos that we hadn’t even considered, but now that we’ve got them are so grateful for.

Everybody comments how great our pictures are and we even asked Dave to cover our daughters christening too. I think that speaks for itself! Would definitely recommend.

Dave did a brilliant job from start to finish. His venue inspection visits meant he was better prepared than us and the quality of the pictures is just superb.
