Pixies in the Cellar Full Description

Authentic and Artistic Wedding Storytelling

If you’re planning your wedding in Greater Manchester or nearby, meet Pete and Sara—the husband and wife team behind Pixies in the Cellar. They specialise in documentary-style wedding photography that captures the real, fleeting moments of your day. Their emotive images tell the unique story of your celebration, helping you relive those special memories for years to come.

A Natural and Unobtrusive Approach

Pete and Sara understand how important it is to feel relaxed on your wedding day. They work discreetly, capturing candid moments that showcase genuine emotions and interactions with your loved ones. By avoiding stiff poses, they ensure your photos reflect the true you—comfortable, joyful, and fully present in your celebration.

Creative Vision for Unique Memories

While most of your day is captured as it naturally unfolds, Pete and Sara also set aside time for creative, natural portraits of you as a couple. Their style is often described as quirky, dramatic, and fun. Working together, they photograph your wedding from two perspectives—Sara’s sharp eye for detail complements Pete’s extensive visual arts experience, resulting in beautifully refined and artistic images.

If Sara and Pete are available for your big day then book them now....

From the moment Sara and Pete responded to our query to getting our shots back and then following up to check everything was as we had hoped they have both been amazing. Youll already be able to see what an amazing body of work utillising differing styles and effects they have. We had ideas of our own and they embraced those and gave us many more in the lead up to the day and on the day, they clearly had done a good recce of the venue beforehand. On the day nothing was too much trouble, an extra shot here or there, can we, should we, what about this, everything was totally fluid and they were as expert at marshalling everyone, in a good way, as they are photographers. Creating a wonderful documentary style for lots of smiles and moments we maybe didnt see on the day ourselves so going back over the shots is really like reliving the day and much more. If Sara and Pete are available for your big day then book them now and relax about the photography, from pre wedding meet, to ideas about not just the photographs but happy to give advice on all sorts of wedding related bumpf, and the images speak for themselves, and we got the images back so fast too. Thanks guys, amazing, Rob & Aimee X

We're both so happy!!

Our pictures are incredible and I STILL can't stop flicking through the online album. We don't even remember you being in places to take the photos that you did, but it was amazing going through them all as it's crazy how much you miss or just don't take in. Thank you so much again, we're both so happy!!

The photographs are amazing!

Just wanted to drop you an email to say a huge thank you and to say that the photographs are amazing! You have really captured some fantastic moments and going through them was like reliving the whole day all over again - we actually laughed out loud at some of the shots! You've also really captured our personalities and the personalities of our family and friends, which is brilliant. Everything about our interactions with you, from the initial emails to our first face-to-face meeting, to the way you were on the day was excellent. Everyone commented on how relaxed you made them all feel whilst taking photographs and how you made every effort to capture shots from all angles, even when wild dancing was taking place! Thank you so much for answering all of our questions and for the many suggestions you made to help support us and make our day so special. You really made us feel comfortable, as for most of it we weren't aware that we were being photographed! We literally could not have chosen a more perfect couple to shoot our wedding. Thanks again for all of your support and for helping us to capture the happiest day of our lives.

Photos are absolutely stunning

Hi, I've just watched the slide show of my sister's wedding (Rachel & Simon-Hargate Hall) & the photos are absolutely stunning. You have captured the day so beautifully. I can't stop watching it, something different pops out every time. You are both so talented. I can't wait to see the rest. Thank you. Bev (Rachel's sister) x

Very discreet

Peter & Sara were 100% professional from start to finish, they always replied quickly to any Q's we had and provided us with everything we asked for on our day, i.e. the style of photos and capturing moments. We didn't notice them on the day as they were very discreet. Would definitely recommend Pixies In The Cellar, thank you for capturing our special day!

Amazing moments which we will treasure forever

Pete and Sara obviously have a passion for capturing the special moments of a wedding. This was evident from the moment we first had contact. It took us ages to pick a photographer but when we saw their images we instantly knew. Each time we look back at our photos we are amazed at the detail they capture. We have a set of images that tell the story of our day perfectly. Couldn't have asked for anymore xx

We honestly cannot express how amazing Pixies are…

From first communication until receiving our images they provided an excellent and professional service from start to finish. They are both lovely people, very friendly and easy to work with. We knew we were choosing the best when we booked them and that's exactly what we got. We were so happy with how everything turned out on our wedding day and they captured every moment! So in love with every image we got back… Thank you both so much for picture perfect memories to treasure forever!

What is your most memorable wedding?

What jumps to mind immediately is a goth wedding we shot on halloween, complete with full moon and jumping the broom! Loads of other weddings have moments that you remember as special but sometimes you just have to be there!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Creative, dynamic, natural,

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Time! It goes fast plan in as much time as possible for your day :)

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Get on with each other :) Stay in the background, almost invisible if we can be for most of the day.A short wander with the two of you around your chosen venue/location to get some pics of the two of you just being you (but not surrounded by all your guests) Then back to the party :)

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

There isn't one depends on the couple, venue, time of year. It would be quite sad if each wedding had the same must have pic.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace the weather - just enjoy your day no matter what the weather holds.

Describe how you got into photography.

Pete's bosses daughter decided he was artistic enough to take her wedding pics and the rest is history! Pete's always been arty, either in graphic design, oil paintings, photography all different mediums to end with a piece of art :) Sara well a biochemist by training, but science is like art really just no-one quite realises it ;)
