Dave Boam Wedding & Events Photography

I’m not just a wedding photographer – I’m a storyteller with a camera. I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography, capturing real, unscripted moments as they naturally unfold throughout your day. No forced poses, no cheesy smiles – just the genuine joy, emotion, and beauty of your celebration, preserved forever in a collection of powerful, heartfelt images.

With a background as an award-winning street photographer, I bring a unique perspective to wedding photography. I’m constantly alert to those fleeting moments – a glance, a laugh, a tear – that make your day truly unforgettable. My approach means you won’t be pulled away from your guests or the party; instead, I’ll work quietly in the background, making sure every meaningful moment is captured without interrupting the flow of your day.

If you're someone who feels a little camera-shy, or if the thought of traditional posed photos makes you nervous, I completely understand – and that’s exactly why my documentary style might be perfect for you. I focus on capturing you at your most natural, relaxed, and joyful, allowing you to relive the real essence of your wedding for years to come.

If what you’re looking for is a true visual story of your wedding day – one that’s authentic, emotional, and uniquely yours – then let’s chat. I’d love to help you create a beautiful, meaningful memory of one of the most important days of your life.

Top Tip!

Your day, your rules, be yourself and surround yourself with truly personal and precious memories of your day!

"Dave is a brilliant photographer and really helped make our wedding day perfect. My husband and I don't have much patience when it comes to posing for photos, so Dave's candid style photography was perfect for us, and captured so many lovely real moments with our guests. He is professional, patient, friendly and calm, and took the time to get to know us and understand what we'd like to make sure everything on the day was perfect. By the time his job was done and he left, it was like saying goodbye to one of our other weddings guests, as we really enjoyed having him there and part of our big day!" - Ellie and Liam, June 2025

“We could not have been more impressed or happy with the service they provided. Having natural photos of our loved ones enjoying the day was exactly what we wanted and they delivered this in plenty. We were able to relax knowing they were on hand to capture those special moments and make sure we didn’t miss anything. We had a few surprises lined up for our guests such as a barn owl and a singing waiter, and they went above and beyond to ensure those moments were captured perfectly. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for an exceptional service." - Natalie and Matthew, December 2023

"If you want a photographer who recreates the very essence of your wedding day, please, please hire Dave. We reached out to Dave just a few weeks before our small, non-traditional wedding and he graciously moved around his calendar to make sure he was able to attend. We had a short zoom meeting to discuss the particulars of the ceremony and to gain an understanding of Dave's approach, but that was all the prep required. True to his word, Dave produced wealth of gorgeous, classic images whilst barely being noticeable throughout the entire event - and we only had 9 people in attendance! My wife and I continue to be astonished by the results. The photographs we received from Dave have a naturalness and artistry that feels timeless, whilst remaining a touching and beautiful reminder of a very special day. In addition to being a wonderful photographer, Dave is also a wonderful person. His friendliness and approachability really put us at ease on the day and made the whole experience stress free and easy. Cannot recommend more highly. Thank you for everything, Dave!" - Dave and Lauren, November 2022

£200 Deposit payable on booking and final balance 28 days before your wedding day.
Started in November 2022!
I have one standard day package which includes an album credit, consultations, all-day coverage and an online gallery. I keep prices competitive by putting clients in control to choose albums and printed material direct from their gallery rather than committing to a pre-purchase on booking.

I offer a shorter half-day package and options in between, depending on the client's requirements.
Some of my recent venues include,
Hollin House, Cheshire
Shrigley Hall, Cheshire
The Upper House Barlaston
St. George's Hall, Liverpool
Alderley Edge Hotel, Cheshire

I love working at all of these. I have done a few delightful weddings at Shrigley Hall, which is an impressive venue with facilities and stunning backdrops to suit any event.
