Documentary wedding photography is about capturing your wedding as it naturally unfolds, rather than directing every moment or asking you to pose throughout the day.

At Take Two, our approach is documentary at heart and editorial in eye. We look for the genuine emotions, spontaneous connections, little interactions and unexpected moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.

We also appreciate beautiful light, thoughtful details and creative portraits. When needed, we'll offer gentle direction to help you feel comfortable, before stepping back and allowing you to enjoy the moment.

The result is a collection of photographs that tells the story of your wedding honestly, bringing you back not just to how everything looked, but how it felt.

You're certainly not alone. In fact, many of the couples we work with tell us they feel a little uncomfortable in front of the camera.

You don't need to know how to pose, practise your smile or suddenly become someone you're not. Our approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you to spend time with each other and the people you love.

When it comes to portraits, we'll offer simple prompts and gentle guidance rather than stiff poses or anything that feels unnatural. We'll help you feel comfortable, then give you the space to be yourselves.

Our aim is for you to reach the end of your wedding day and realise you barely noticed the cameras were there.

Absolutely. While our portfolio gives you a glimpse of our favourite photographs, a full wedding gallery allows you to see how we tell an entire story.

From the morning preparations and ceremony to the celebrations, little interactions and moments you might otherwise miss, you'll get a much better feel for our consistency and approach throughout a wedding day.

Just let us know if you'd like to see a complete gallery when we chat. We'd be happy to share one that gives you a proper sense of what to expect.

Wedding photography prices can vary depending on the photographer's experience, the hours of coverage, the number of photographers and what's included in the collection.

At Take Two, we offer two photography collections designed around different wedding plans.

The Essential Collection offers 6 hours of coverage, while The Signature Collection offers 10 hours. Both include two photographers, giving you different perspectives and more of the moments that make up your day.

We believe your wedding photographs are an investment in the memories you'll return to for years to come. Our collections are designed to offer thoughtful coverage and a personal experience, rather than simply a set number of photographs.

You can explore our [Wedding Photography Collections] to find out more, or get in touch and we'll help you find the right coverage for your plans.

Both our Essential and Signature Collections include the same care, attention and approach to telling your story. The difference is simply the amount of time we're there to capture it.

Every photography collection includes:

• Two photographers throughout your coverage

• Beautifully edited digital photographs

• 50 preview photographs within 48 hours

• A private online gallery with high resolution downloads

• Unlimited conversations and planning support

• A relaxed and personal photography experience

If you'd like additional coverage, we can also discuss extending your collection. Optional extras, including 35mm film photography, can be added to make your collection more personal.

Having two photographers means more of your wedding can be captured without you having to be in two places at once.

While one of us might be documenting the ceremony, the other can be looking for the reactions of your family and friends. We can capture different perspectives, small interactions and moments happening simultaneously.

It also means we can work together throughout the day, bringing different creative perspectives while sharing one vision for your story.

At Take Two, having two photographers is included in both our photography collections. It's an important part of the experience we want to give every couple.

We recommend getting in touch as soon as you've secured your wedding date and venue, particularly if you're planning to marry on a popular date or during the summer months.

Many couples book their wedding photographers well in advance, and because we only take on a limited number of weddings each year, availability can be limited.

That said, it's always worth asking, even if your wedding is coming up sooner.

If you've connected with our photographs and feel our approach might be right for you, send us an enquiry. We'd love to hear what you're planning.

Absolutely. We're based in Manchester, but we're always happy to travel for a wedding.

Whether you're getting married somewhere in the North West, elsewhere in the UK or planning a destination celebration, we'd love to hear about it.

Every location brings something different to a wedding story, and we're always excited to discover new places and photograph somewhere meaningful to you.

Travel and any accommodation requirements will be discussed with you when preparing your collection, so everything is clear before booking.

First of all, don't worry. Some of the most memorable wedding photographs happen when the weather doesn't go quite to plan.

We work with the conditions rather than against them. Whether it's soft window light, a little rain, dramatic skies or an unexpected change in atmosphere, we'll find creative ways to make the most of what's around us.

We'll also work with your venue and wedding coordinator to make the most of indoor spaces when needed.

Your wedding story doesn't need perfect weather to be beautiful. It's about the people, the emotions and everything that happens along the way.

Every wedding is different, so the final number of photographs will depend on your coverage, the size of your wedding and everything that happens throughout the day.

Rather than working towards a fixed number, we focus on delivering a carefully edited collection that tells your story fully, including the big moments and all the little things in between.

You'll receive 50 preview photographs within 48 hours of your wedding, so you can relive a few special moments while everything is still fresh.

Your full gallery will be ready within approximately 10 weeks. It will be delivered through a private online gallery, with high resolution photographs ready to download, print and share with family and friends.

We want you to have something you'll love returning to, long after the wedding day itself.
