Hi, I'm Laura 👋
passionate

Emotive storytelling for free-spirited couples. Queer-owned and always inclusive.
Outside of photography, pottering in the garden and curling up with a book are my happy places. I'm obsessed with my cats, love watching corny police dramas and am happiest when cooking a feast for the people I love most. I live in Warrington with my brilliant partner Sophie, our two mischievous tabby cats and our lovingly curated houseplant jungle.

Laura Bareham Photography Full Description

I’m Laura, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Warrington and travelling across Cheshire, Manchester, Liverpool and beyond. I have a big heart, a love for honest storytelling, and a knack for capturing the moments people don’t notice happening. My couples often call me the 'ninja photographer' because I blend into the day, letting you be fully yourselves while I quietly document the magic.

My approach is warm, relaxed and people-centred. No stiff poses or awkward instructions, just gently guided portraits when needed and beautifully real candids everywhere else. I believe weddings should feel like you, and your photos should reflect that with genuine emotion, warm tones, and true-to-life colour. My ethos is simple: be yourself, stay present, and let me take care of the rest.

I’m proudly inclusive and welcome all couples. Whoever you love and however you choose to celebrate, I’ll be there to support you with kindness, sensitivity and a documentary eye for the moments that matter most.

How I Work

• Quietly observant, blending into the background

• Friendly, approachable and down-to-earth

• Focused on capturing connection, joy and all the in-between moments

• A warm, natural and true to life editing style

• Zero pressure, zero perfectionism, just real moments beautifully told

Packages & Pricing

I offer flexible coverage for all types of celebrations:

Full Day – £1900 (up to 10 hours)

Half Day – £1300 (up to 5 hours)

Every package includes an online gallery, the licence to print and share, access to a personalised print store, and travel across mainland UK.

If you’re planning a creative, heartfelt celebration and want your wedding photographed in a way that feels human, relaxed and beautifully honest, I’d love to connect with you.

Laura was absolutely incredible

Laura was absolutely incredible and I would highly recommend to any couples getting married who want a photographer that captures those candid moments and also makes all of your guests feel incredibly comfortable. Laura kept in touch regularly during the run up to our big day and was an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding. Our photos are all incredible and I would highly recommend. Thank you again lovely Laura! Lee & Rob x

Laura really is something special

We knew we wanted a low key wedding but we also wanted some photos to capture us finally sealing the deal. Wow did she deliver on that and then some! Laura came up with some really imaginative ways of capturing the day and I knew I'd picked the right photographer when Laura actually squealed on our first call! The details and special moments she managed to capture will stay with us forever. We couldn’t be happier with how our photographs turned out, she really is something special.

We can't thank Laura enough!

Laura was our photographer back in July for our wedding at Grangefields. We had a zoom meeting chat prior to our wedding to discuss exactly what we had in mind and Laura delivered this perfectly on the day. Our pictures are amazing and we can't thank Laura enough. I would 100% recommend x

Laura was amazing!

Laura was amazing! She put us at ease right away and is just so lovely! Feels weird to say, but she disappears into the crowd and creates these amazing candid pictures of such precious memories. I really can't rate her enough!

Amazing, professional and friendly

Laura did such a good job, so professional but friendly and kind. The pictures were incredible and she wasn't pushing or wanting us to pose all the time. She helped the day run smoothly and was great with us and all our guests. We couldn't recommend her enough!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What does “documentary wedding photography” mean?

It means I tell the story of your wedding day through natural, unscripted moments. I’ll be everywhere and nowhere at once (hence my couples often calling me a ninja!), blending in with your guests so you can just relax and be yourselves.

Do you edit your photos?

Yes, I carefully edit every photo to keep colours true-to-life, with a gentle warmth that reflects how your day really felt. I don’t do heavy retouching or alter how people look- I believe that everyone deserves to feel beautiful exactly as they are.

We're planning a non-traditional wedding. Is that your sort of thing?

Honestly, there is nothing I love more than a non-traditional wedding! I love working with creative, free-spirited couples who do things their own way, whether that’s a city elopement, a pub reception, or a barefoot ceremony in the woods. You’ll never hear any judgement or expectations from me - I passionately believe that everyone deserves to have a wedding day that feels absolutely, unapologetically ‘them’.

Can we order prints or albums?

Yep, you (and your loved ones!) can order high-quality prints, albums, and keepsakes directly through your online gallery.

How long will it take to get our photos?

Usually 6–8 weeks. I’ll also send you a sneak peek gallery within a week so you can relive some of the magic straight away!
