Cherished Images

Cherished Images is an award-winning Manchester wedding photography studio led by James, a documentary-style photographer with over 18 years of experience capturing weddings across the North West and throughout the UK. Known for a relaxed, unobtrusive style, James tells each couple’s story through natural, emotive imagery that feels timeless rather than posed.

Having photographed hundreds of weddings since 2007, James brings a calm, confident presence to every celebration — the kind that helps couples forget the camera and simply enjoy their day. His work has been recognised with regional awards, nominations from The Wedding Industry Awards, and has featured in leading bridal and lifestyle magazines.

Every wedding is unique, so the experience is built around you. Whether you’d like to book now and chat later or take time to plan and discuss every detail in advance, James adapts to your pace. From intimate city ceremonies to countryside celebrations, you can expect creativity, professionalism, and a genuine passion for storytelling in every frame.
