Experience
Curious about how I work? Get a feel for my approach, check out the kind words from my lovely couples, and see what our journey together might look like.
Still around? Clearly, something sparked your interest so let’s dive in!
My photography is about real, authentic moments! Have you looked around at photographers and thought we definitely don’t want traditional, boring and posed photographs? Are you looking for a relaxed and genuine approach?
Imagine having a photographer at your wedding who feels more like a friend. Imagine feeling so relaxed in front of the camera, knowing that not only the pretty details are being captured, but also those powerful, raw moments – like when your dad tears up for the first time in ages, when your uncle whips his top off and starts throwing shapes on the dancefloor, like singing on top note with your closest friends!
Do you appreciate the timeless, artistic pictures that truly encapsulate your day? I want to keep everything real! And trust me, you want to remember your day exactly how it was when you are looking back at your photos in years to come!
I love that you care… because I do too! I don’t want you to choose me just because I’m around the corner or because I have a tempting package. I want you to pick me because you want the absolute best experience, and that’s what I’m here to give you.
My Approach
I’m here to capture your story. It’s all about you, and your celebration with the people who matter most to you!
I believe that photography is more than just clicking a button; it’s about capturing the essence of people and their emotions. As an award-winning wedding photographer based in Manchester, I’ve been praised for my ability to document weddings in a completely natural way. I have won many awards for my documentary approach and capturing unique moments that happen at weddings!
I avoid fleeting photography trends because I want your images to be timeless. I want you to look back on your wedding photos years from now and feel those same emotions, see those same smiles as if it was just yesterday. I love capturing those quirky, fun moments that make your wedding unique, those moments that truly define you as a couple.
When I photograph you both together, I’m just there to document your interactions, giving you space to just be yourselves. Yes, some couples might need a little direction, but I assure you, it’s all done in a relaxed and fun way. I’ll never ask you to do anything that feels awkward or unnatural. No cheesy smiles or awkward posing! It’s a wedding after all, not a fashion shoot!
I’m not just a photographer, I’m here to help along the journey of planning. I work with some amazing suppliers and always on hand for recommendations. On the day I blend in and let your wedding unfold naturally. Just forget about the camera and focus on each other and have the best day ever and be rest assured, I’ll be capturing it all for you!
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who truly cares about your story and will capture it in the most genuine and beautiful way, then I can’t wait to hear from you.

“His work speaks for itself”
“There are not enough words to describe just how incredible Ally was with us on the day – and the lead up! Right from when he popped his head round in the room to let us know he was there, he got to work. And I didn’t notice him at all. He’s like a ninja, seeking out all opportunities to get the shot. And my god he got them!
Looking back at our photos, we were dumbfounded as to how he got the shot and oh my god as if he got that. He captured our day perfectly and gave us the gift of memories to look back on forever.
If that’s not reason enough to have him, he’s also a bloody great guy, kept us laughing throughout the couple shots and honestly, a top bloke.
His work speaks for itself, an absolute professional and also incredible down to earth.
Thank you as always, Ally”

“Natural and relaxed photos that captured every moment and emotion of the day”
“My husband and I cannot recommend Ally more. He was amazing in the lead up to the wedding, making sure he knew any specific photos we wanted, and then we left him to it and the results are spectacular. Everyone who has seen them have commented on how incredible the photos are and those who were at the wedding say how perfectly he captured the atmosphere of the day.
In the nicest possible way, we didn’t even realise he was there most of the day, he just stayed in the perfect places to get the best candid shots.
When we did see and speak to him, he was the perfect balance of friendly and professional.
If you are thinking about booking him for your wedding… DO IT!”

Let me tell your story
I cherish quality over quantity, hence I cover a limited number of weddings annually
To give each wedding the focus it deserves, I limit the number of weddings I take on each year. This ensures I can fully immerse myself in the excitement and magic of your day. Ready to make your date uniquely yours?
