Wedding Photographer in Macclesfield, Cheshire

Bringing relaxed, emotional & beautiful wedding photography in Cheshire since 2011

Hi. Welcome to Zap Wedding Photography. My name is Phil and I shoot the day as it unfolds to best tell your story with little to no coaching for 90% of the day.

I focus on capturing meaningful, emotional and funny images, as I want you to remember how you felt during your wedding day and the important people that you shared it with.

Creating Lasting Memories

Without a doubt, telling your story and capturing all the emotions during your wedding is the best part of being a photographer.

However, creating compelling images for you through creative use of light and composition is the best part of being an artist.

Your Unique Wedding Story

Blending in is what I do.

Many of the best wedding photos are the ones where your guests have no idea a photo is being taken – just natural and honest photography.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to tell your unique wedding story get in touch with me and let’s start to plan your story.

My Favourite Wedding Venues

Some Kind Words From Couples

We couldn’t thank Phillip enough! We loved our photos from our big day and the pre wedding shoot too. Phillip has an amazing skill of not only being an incredible photographer but also fitting in so well with your wedding party and day.

Everyone (including our grumpy dog!) loved him and felt at ease. He even carried emergency pins as my wedding belt was too loose and he came to the rescue. Even months on, our friends still mention how lovely Philip was and I think a few will have their beady eye on him for their future dates!

What can I say Phill was an amazing guy with the heart and passion for capturing every special moment.

What you did was truly amazing and I would like to say from the bottom of my heart thank you so much Phil.

I would highly recommend this lovely photographer stepping in last minute and won’t ever forget what you did for us again.

Thank you xxxx

Dawn & Phil

Phillip’s personable and humorous sense of humour shone through along with his passion for his work! From start to finish I was glad he was there, he was simply amazing not only capturing our special day but going above and beyond from pulling a mirror out of his pocket to picking up my train to getting on his hands and knees to swap my shoes!

Everyone commented on how nice Phillip was and also how professional! I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you did for us before and on our wedding day.

Samantha & Ben

Again where to start from when we met you back in 2017 no other photographers that we met compard , there is just something about you that we were drawn too, you’re warm, humorous and we instantly felt at ease.

Our pictures both pre-shoot and the wedding pics are amazing I was grinning like a Cheshire cat reliving the whole day looking through these fabulous memories you’ve given us. I’d also like to thank you for the slide show – beautiful touch.

Your Unique Wedding Story

Relaxed, authentic wedding photographs

Are you looking for a wedding photographer that specialises in shooting weddings like these;

You don’t want to spend hours posing for photos
You want a relaxed wedding, one you can enjoy
You’d love joyful, relaxed, fun wedding photography
An experienced photographer with buckets of tips (I even carry safety pins for dress malfunctions).

Let me introduce myself. I’m Phil.

It’s really hard to sell yourself, so forgive me if I let a couple do it for me. It’s exactly what I want every couple to feel.

“From the moment we met Philip we knew he was the guy for us with the passion he shared to create special memories for our wedding day.

From the second he arrived on our wedding day to the time he left in the evening, he didn’t stop capturing the moments of the day.

He went above and beyond, running between rooms, being chief dress arranger and a trooper through a very hot day, as well as someone who just provided reassurance and humour throughout the day :)”

Frequently asked questions

Have a look at some of the questions I get asked about my wedding photography on a regular basis.

It’s simple complete the booking forms online and pay the booking fee of £300.

I prefer bank transfer, but I can take card payments face to face and over the phone.

What Happens On My Wedding Day?

I/we normally arrive 3 hours before the ceremony and stay until around 9pm, it’s quite often later if the sun hasn’t set.

I am very flexible and accommodating.

I will speak to everyone I need to leaving you alone to enjoy your day but always there to answer any questions you have.

Do You Do Group Shots?

Group shots can be extremely important to you, I do suggest limiting them to around 10 groups.

Why?

it can take longer than you think.

While I am taking the group shots I am not photographing you with your fiends and family enjoying your day.

Delivery of your photos takes between 4-10 weeks, depending on time of year.

Delivery will be digitally, with beautiful online galleries.

I can supply a USB if required.
