WELCOME TO LAURA WADE PHOTOGRAPHY. LAURA IS A EDITORIAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN CHESHIRE, WORKING ACROSS THE UK + EUROPE.
Welcome to Laura Wade Photography. I am an emotive storyteller and chaser of light, captivated by human connection and a desire to preserve life stories authentically and cinematically. As a wedding photographer, I aspire to craft images that are transportative, individual frames of a story that could only exist between the two of you forever preserved in time, drawing inspiration from romantic novels already written, photojournalism and some of the most inspiring editorial masters of our industry.
Whilst it is an enormous responsibility to photograph your wedding day, I also consider it to be a privilege, and one that I am immensely proud of. I hope that my imagery is reflective of the wonder and dedication I have for my work. When the day its self has passed and you hold my images in your hands, I want you to be able to relive those significant moments that will transcend time. So, thank you for taking the time to get to know me, I hope we meet one day soon. Laura xX

Captivating | Considered | Cinematic
A relationship rooted in trust. When you find a photographer who is as invested in your vision as much as your very self, well I think the search is over. And, what will result is a gallery full of images crafted for the modern couple looking to preserve the emotion , energy and detail in a day that has been carefully curated during months and months of planning.
I want this journey to begin by building a relationship with the two of you. I want to understand who and what is important to you, the relationship that exists between you both when you are unapologetically and authentically yourself. The simplicity in the touch of a hand which speaks so loudly, the scrunch of a nose that only ever happens when they make you laugh that way, a kiss that tells you you are home, I want to see it all from behind the lens.
I want to be your 3rd wheel, LAURA X
Each year I work with just 25 couples and every wedding I photograph in so many ways is entirely different to the one before. The people, the moments, the emotion, each one individual. Your story should belong to the two of you and you alone. For me, that is where the magic lies, on the pages that are authentically yours.
My priority has always been to preserve a true depiction of the memories you experienced and will hold forever in your mind. I embrace colour, and through my editing style will endeavour to maintain the cast in the sky, the hue in the fields and blooms all around you and the tones of your carefully curate styling elements in an artful way.

I want to tell the whole story, and so for that reason my photography package covers anything around 10 to 12 hours photography. Once we have a clear idea of your timeline, I will plan in my morning arrival which, ordinarily would be somewhere around 3 hours prior to your ceremony time. I will then be with you throughout the entire day until a little after your first dance.
We can of course discuss customising a package which suits your coverage needs whether that be reduced or extended hours to have me with you later into the evening celebrations for example.

If you would like to receive a copy of my existing brochure, please enquire through my website.
I would love to arrange a discovery call to allow us to get to know one another and how I might fit into the vision you share for your day.
I am of course available during the working day but do let me know if your preference would be to arrange an evening call.
-
Should you decide you will like for me to be a part of your supplier team, we will arrange a pre-planning call around 4-6 weeks ahead of the wedding date to allow us to discuss your timeline for the day and priorities for family portraits.
-
A collection of preview images will be available to view within 72 hours of your wedding day.
You will be able to download high resolution files of these images should you wish to start printing and sharing them right away.
-
Your final gallery will showcase all of your Individually edited images with copy right permissions given. This gallery will hold a minimum of 600 images and from here you will again be able to download high resolution files of all of your images.
Your completed gallery will be presented to you on a glass USB held in a handmade linen book box.

It is always my objective to remain discreet and unobtrusive on your wedding day, allowing me to capture organic and unguarded moments of significance. I will however add that it is likely I’ll offer a little direction to help craft those editorial images you so desperately want. A little prompt to enhance your existing beauty, your own authenticity.
I understand the hours, days, even months that you have put into curating your wedding day. The stems you have chosen that will fill the room with a scent that will transport you right back to that day, the handwritten speech with the anxiously frayed corners that its owner has nervously recited 100 times and the considered gifts that one day may become your family heirlooms. To me these images tell the detail of your story.
