Hello, you've found me

Hi, I’m Chris Pomphrey and I photograph weddings. I live in South Manchester and usually cover the surrounding areas of Cheshire, Merseyside and Yorkshire but photograph weddings wherever they may be. I’m really easy to work with and take natural photographs of your day as they happen. I never get in your way and boss you around all day.

I’m always happy to meet for a coffee and introduce myself and hear more about your plans for the day. Feel free to email at chris@chrispomphrey.co.uk or check availability via the contact for 

What a photographer!!! Chris was just simply amazing!!!
Outstanding from the start of our communication right through to the end of our wedding day!
Attentive to details and very easy to work with.
Also great with suggestions which just made our day that little bit more incredible.
The shots he got were just phenomenal and we couldn’t have asked for better.
We are quite shy but have never felt so at ease as we did with Chris as our photographer and all our guests loved him too.

THE LOWRY, SALFORD

Chris was excellent to work with for our wedding photos. He made sure he knew what he wanted from is from our day, was an absolute professional (stood out in the pouring rain to get the shots) and everyone said how lovely he was. We have some amazing candid shots and amazing portraits too. Chris is easily contacted and offered suggestions on how to get the most out of the time to get the best photos. Thank you Chris!

"Chris captured our wedding in the most spectacular way. His attention to detail and thorough planning ensured we have photos that we will treasure for a life time. We were hoping for 1 or 2 photos we can put around the house but we’ve found it hard to choose just one!! Honestly could not recommend Chris enough. Thanks so much for our lovely gallery of photos

"Chris has a remarkable talent for not only capturing the big moments but also the small, intimate details that truly make a wedding day special. His keen eye for composition and lighting resulted in stunning photographs that exceeded our expectations. Each image told a story, evoking all the emotions and memories of our special day"
SOPHIE & KATE, MANCHESTER
We asked Chris to do the photography for our wedding. I am not sure what I was expecting but the pictures came out way better than what I could have imagined. He is a really nice guy and I honestly would/will recommend him to anyone. Thanks Chris, the pictures are priceless!

NATURAL MOMENTS

I never force you to pose all day and keep you away from your guests. Most of us are not models! When it comes to your couple shots, we just take a short walk for 10 mins or so. Even if it’s raining, bring an umbrella, I’ll get those shots for you.

Chris did the photography for our wedding. Chris was absolutely great, from start to finish. We met before the big day and we’re able to chat about what we wanted. His informal but professional style was perfect for us, he made us and our guests feel at ease and we got amazing pictures we will cherish forever. Would highly recommend!

YOUR UNIQUE STORY

Every wedding I shoot is completely unique to each couple . Whether you're getting married in a stately home or in a Registry Office, joy and emotion can be captured anywhere, with anyone. Documentary wedding photography gives a story to your day. No forced posing, just natural shots throughout the day. There will be times where you wish to have group shots but I don't spend hours making sure everyone is perfectly lined up.

easy to work with

I don't shout at you all day, I'm very much shooting from a distance and never getting in your way, most of the time you'll hardly even know I'm there. Once the formalities are over, I'm just in the background but more than happy to be asked to take shots of you all as the day progresses into the evening.

DOCUMENTING YOUR DAY

Bridal prep is always great fun and one of my favourite parts of the day. There's always so much going on and even though you spend months and years planning for the details, there's always the unexpected laughter and I love capturing it for you.
I never get in your way, you hardly even know I'm there really, I just capture moments as they happen. The nerves, the kitchen full of people, the fizz, the flowers arriving, father of the bride, uncle, mum..... sisters, aunties, bridesmaids....... it's never a dull moment.

natural

All my shots are very natural, never making you feel uncomfortable. Even during your Ceremony, I keep a respectable distance from you so you can enjoy the intimate moment together.

CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY ALL DAY

Every wedding, every celebration is unique to each couple. I'm never in your way, never forcing you into posing for hours and boring your guests with hours of group photos. From the moment I arrive, I'm constantly shooting frames and documenting your day just as it happens.

capturing emotion

It really doesn't matter if your wedding is in a stately home or a register office, emotions are shown wherever you are in the world and I love to capture it for you. I don't stick a camera in your guests face, I keep my distance but mingle in too. If you're looking for natural photos of your day then get in touch and let's have a chat.
