Your people. The place. One unforgettable day.

Your Cheshire wedding photographer.
Here for the real moments.

I’m Andy Wilkinson, your Cheshire wedding photographer and the person behind Inspire Wedding Photography. I also cover North Wales and the wider North West.

My photography brings together natural moments, colourful portraits and the people who make your wedding yours. While you enjoy the celebrations, I’ll look for the hugs, nervous smiles and moments you might otherwise miss.

Alongside these moments, we’ll make space for creative portraits and family photographs. If you need a little direction, I’ll help you feel at ease.

The quiet bits deserve a place, too

From a deep breath
to the last dance.

Above all, a wedding gallery should have room for it all: the anticipation, the atmosphere and a few photographs that stop you in your tracks.

Natural moments. Creative portraits.

A little time for the two of you

A woodland path, beautiful window light or an evening stroll can be all we need. So we can fit portraits around your plans and the light on the day.

Then back to the celebrations

Of course, the unexpected moments are part of the story, too. Once the dance floor fills up, there’s even more to photograph.

A place for your kind of celebration

Cheshire wedding photographer
for your venue.

Because each venue has its own character, your choice shapes the feel of your photographs. As a Cheshire wedding photographer, I work with each setting’s light and atmosphere. For example, a castle courtyard feels very different from a woodland path. Below are some of the places I’ve photographed.

Castle surroundings

Peckforton Castle

The opening photograph pairs the castle’s stone walls with a relaxed walk together. If you love a dramatic setting, leave time to step outside for portraits.

Knutsford celebrations

Colshaw Hall

For instance, the photograph above captures a fleeting reaction. Alongside the setting, I’ll look for the little moments that make your ceremony personal.

Woodland atmosphere

By contrast, the trees give portraits a different mood from a formal interior. For inspiration, explore Holly and Laura’s woodland celebration.

Bring your kind of party

A day worth
getting carried
away with.

Some favourites come with perfect light. Meanwhile, others come with flying confetti or a laugh you can almost hear. And sometimes, it’s a dance move nobody saw coming.

Ultimately, that mix is what I want you to remember.

Do you photograph weddings across Cheshire and the North West?

Yes. I’m based in Cheshire and cover Chester, Knutsford, Northwich, Crewe, Macclesfield and the rest of the county. I also photograph weddings across the North West, including Liverpool and Manchester. If you’re planning a North Wales wedding, I’d love to hear from you too.

We’re camera shy. Will we have to pose all day?

No. My approach is relaxed, with natural coverage and some direction for portraits and family photographs. That way, you can have photographs together and still enjoy time with your guests.
