Northwest England is a hotbed of incredible talent if you’re looking for a creative artist to tell the story of your dream elopement. And Liverpool, as one of the largest cities in the region, is a natural place to start looking. That’s why we at Peerspace have curated this list of the top 9 Liverpool elopement photographers. Which was a joy to create, by the way.
Once you view the work of these professionals you’ll feel full of ideas on how to craft your own unique wedding! From mountain exploration to urban parties, there is no right way to have an elopement. Which is what makes them so special and fun!
1. Sandy and Dave of Pixsmiths
Even the best Liverpool elopement photographer can be limited in some ways. They can only be in one place at once and use one lens at a time. Sandy and Dave of Pixsmiths are a team of photographers. By working together, they can capture multiple angles at once using different focal lengths and perspectives on key moments of your elopement.
As a result, their client feedback is radiantly positive! Here is what one couple had to say about their experience working with Sandy and Dave: “We are so happy with all of our pictures and I would highly recommend them to anyone without a shadow of a doubt!”
2. David Scholes Photography
Considering his descent from a long line of wedding photographers, it was inevitable that David Scholes would become a top Liverpool elopement photographer. His uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather all were wedding photographers. So it truly does run in the blood for David!
David’s style is very distinct from other wedding photographers. He is a documentary or reportage photographer, seeking out those in-between moments of candid perfection. Moments that are easily missed if posed moments of perfection are all you are looking for. The snorts of laughter spilled drinks, and confetti-filled environmental portraits all tell the story free of artifice.
3. Andy Wade Photography
A gifted documentary elopement and wedding photographer, Andy Wade’s approach is spontaneous and relaxed, freeing you up to enjoy your loved ones and the day itself. Small wonder Andy has been recognized not only by us but also by Wedding Photography Select, Fearless Award, and other organizations.
His images plunge you directly into the midst of each personal and romantic ceremony. Andy has us feeling like guests at the event!
4. Ioan Said of Celynnen Photography
Composition, timing, and feeling are what Ioan Said focuses on as a photographer. Instead of punchy color grading and posed moments, his photography is an exploration of the unique unfolding of each elopement.
Ioan is out to highlight not only what happened during the day but also take you back to the peak emotions of the day! As he shares with his clients: “We always say to our couples that we want our photography to remind them of how their day felt, not just how it looked.”
5. Sam Chipman Photography
Weddings would fade into imperfect memories if not for the artistry of Sam Chipman, Liverpool elopement photographer. Through his images, you can immediately revisit one of the best moments in your life. If you are a fan of Belle Bridal Magazine you might have come across his work before.
Sam is constantly on the lookout for emotion, timing, and narrative. Sometimes that’s in a church for a traditional wedding and other times his portfolio takes us on elopements exploring quiet mountain meadows!
6. Kris and Eugene McDonald of Keyhole Studios
Kris and Eugene McDonald are the couple and photographer duo behind Keyhole Studios. They bring 15 years of experience to every elopement and know how to capture weddings in a natural fashion. Their images highlight timeless themes like nostalgia, romance, and connection.
We also love how they feature the background through expansive environmental portraits. All of which conveys makes each elopement ceremony special!
7. Oli and AJ of Foxley Photography
Oli and AJ Foxley are award-winning wedding photographers who use engaging compositions and expert timing to delight viewers. They find angles that are completely unexpected yet are perfect for their documentary perspective. We see couples through reflective surfaces, over the shoulders of guests, and other intriguing perspectives.
The Foxleys describe their style as “a fusion of reportage and fine art.” They seek out those fleeting moments in time that best showcase the ambiance and themes of each unique elopement!
8. Tash Jones of Love Luella
As a top 50 UK wedding photographer, Tash is a perfect addition to our list of the best Liverpool elopement photographers! Her images are rich in contrast, using a warm color and dark monochrome approach that nicely complements each other. Tash also embraces shadow, lens flare, silhouettes, and other dramatic lighting conditions. All of which effectively highlight the mood using natural light.
Tash is also immensely talented at framing using the background. She uses plants, buildings, and other elements to ensure we get a sense of the setting of each elopement or wedding. However, we never feel too distracted from the story and emotions on display!
9. Jane Ball Photography
Jane Ball originally started as a lover of landscape photography. But soon, she started pointing her camera toward the people around her. Jane realized that preserving memories of fleeting moments in time was even more satisfying. Her brand eventually branched out to include relaxed and fun wedding photography.
Jane takes the nerves and the fuss out of the day, inviting you to enjoy each other’s company while she documents in the background. We adore how she combines the best of the guided posing and documentary photos in her portfolio!
