Kim Shaw Photography

Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire

Website

Hi, I’m Kim — a full-time wedding photographer with 20 years of experience shooting 100's of weddings captured at all different types of venues from Working Mens Clubs to Stately Homes and Castles and in all different weathers! I’m based on the border of the three beautiful counties of Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire, so I’m lucky to have a huge variety of beautiful venues within easy reach.

My style is relaxed, elegant and timeless with a contemporary twist — and a big part of that is how I work with my couples. I’ll guide and gently direct you just enough so you feel confident and relaxed, without ever making things feel awkward or overly posed. It’s all about capturing genuine moments, real emotion, and the connections between people — not just what the day looked like, but what it felt like.

Although I still offer full-day coverage, I’ve found myself capturing more half-day weddings: the kind where the focus is on the ceremony, the people, the joy of family and friends just being together and enjoying the day. Whether it’s a registry office wedding, a second marriage and this time you just want the important parts captured, if you are a little older, or something small and meaningful like an elopement, although I love to capture all moments, those are the moments I love to capture the most, the ones that will grow in meaning to you as time passes.

We also have luxury photo booths (Premier Photo Booths) so if you are looking for a posh Photo Booth (something classy, not cheesy or naff look us up)!

Top Tip!

Don't stress on the day. There will be plenty of people around to ensure the day runs smoothly and deal with any issues that may or may not arise. You just enjoy every minute of the day as it will fly by in the blink of an eye!

Kim knew exactly how to ease any worries or fears we had in the run up to our wedding and her crowd/time management on our day was impeccable and our guests all commented on how well Kim organised taking our pictures clearly without them feeling ushered, rushed or like they were being barked at. - NP - Blithfield Lakeside Barn

My nan particularly couldn't speak more highly of much Kim looked out for her. Thank you so much - AR - The Three Horseshoes, Leek

I would 100% recommend Kim and her team to anyone looking for a photographer and am over the moon with our pictures, both from the wedding and the photo booth at the reception. - KP - Slaters Country Inn

As you'd expect she's technically rock solid and clear and efficient in her directions. She's also, patient and kind with older family members and has a great eye for quirky locations and candid moments. - AW - The Upper House, Barlaston

Your years of experience can really be seen through your art of photography. We love you and our photos so much! Would recommend to any future couples who are wedding planning - TB - Merrydale Manor

As a couple we don't really like posing for photos but Kim almost made us forgot that's what we were doing. We have a good mix of portraits and candid pictures which is what we wanted. - AH - Wrenbury Hall
