DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY in Manchester
for TIMELESS AUTHENTIC ROMANTICS
Natural, unposed wedding photography for couples who want their wedding day to feel calm, real, and entirely their own.
The Philosophy Behind our
Documentary Wedding Photography
For couples who want real, unfiltered memories but worry about being camera-shy, we’ve got you.
As wedding photographers, we understand that being in front of a camera can feel awkward, but with us, you won’t be asked to “say cheese.” Instead, we capture your wedding in a way that’s as natural and genuine as the day itself. Our documentary approach means no forced poses, no interruptions, and no staged moments – only true, heartfelt memories preserved.
Our philosophy is simple: we’re here to tell your story, capturing the quiet smiles, the loud laughs, and the little details. We’re drawn to those “unseen” moments, the connection between you and your family, and the authenticity of each moment as it unfolds.
We believe your wedding should feel as real on camera as it does in person. So if your kids want to laugh and play, or if your parents hold hands with quiet pride, we’ll be there, ready to capture every emotion.
No posing, no pressure – just honest photography that tells your story.
Manchester Wedding Photographers
covering the North West
Hello! It’s so lovely to meet you. I’m Chu Chu, the lead wedding photographer behind Take Two Wedding Photography, your go-to Manchester wedding photographer team capturing love stories worldwide.
Based in the heart of Manchester, we specialise in documentary wedding photography and editorial wedding photography, blending the raw beauty of real moments with an artistic, cinematic touch.
With years of experience and hundreds of weddings beautifully told, we bring both skill and soul to your big day. As a documentary wedding photographer, I work to capture every heartfelt glance, spontaneous laugh, and fleeting moment that makes your wedding uniquely yours. Our signature blend of documentary-style wedding photography and editorial wedding photographer storytelling ensures your photos feel as real and effortless as the day itself.
We’re here to make sure you remember your special day exactly as it was—no “say cheese,” no superman poses, and definitely no stiff direction. Just you, your people, and all the emotions, captured authentically by a professional wedding photographer. Our lens doesn’t just see—it feels. Because your once-in-a-lifetime celebration deserves to be remembered in a way that resonates deeply and honestly.
Why Choose Us
Go ahead and ask a million questions, we’re here for it all!.
“You don’t just get two services—you get two people who create together, every step of the way.”
Two creatives, one team
With TakeTwo, you’re not just booking a wedding photographer and videographer in Manchester—you’re choosing a dynamic duo. ChuChu (that’s me!) focuses on photography, and Ross captures your day through film. Together, we work in perfect sync. No outsourcing, no awkward overlaps—just a seamless, relaxed experience from beginning to end.
“It looks like a styled shoot… but it feels like you.”
Real moments, beautifully captured
Weddings are deeply personal, and our style honours that. As a team of documentary wedding photographers, we won’t overpose or interrupt your genuine moments. Instead, we gently guide you when needed, while allowing the natural rhythm of the day to shine. Our style of documentary style photography allows you to simply be yourselves, and we’ll do the rest.
“No templates, no pressure—just a wedding story that’s 100% yours.”
Personal, less conforming and not pushed
We only take on a limited number of weddings each year to give every couple our full attention. That means your gallery, your timeline, and your story are tailored to you, not copied from someone else’s Pinterest board. Whether you're planning a city celebration or a countryside escape, our approach to Manchester wedding photography is always tailored and true to you.
Whether you're looking for a wedding photographer in the UK, or planning a destination event, we’d be honored to tell your story. If you're dreaming of a wedding told through honest, timeless, and artful imagery, you're in the right place.
Let’s Tell Yor Story on Film
Don’t settle for the ordinary. Choose our documentary wedding photographer services to bring your love story to life—authentically, emotionally, and artfully. We also offer 35mm film wedding photography for couples who want their memories captured with the rich, nostalgic texture of real film. Contact us today to reserve your date with our Manchester wedding photographer team and discover the timeless beauty of cinematic storytelling.
From the first conversation, our role is to make things feel easier.

Thoughtful preparation,
A relaxed, reassuring presence on the day.
