About paul waring
Lovely to meet you, i'm Paul
I'm a cheshire-based wedding photographer with a soft spot for the outdoors, good Great coffee, red wine, vintage watches and any kind of travel.


The Story of... me
Believe it or not, I wasn't born with a camera in my hand.
In fact, my journey started on two wheels, riding BMX bikes, chasing freedom and a sense of self. Somewhere between the scuffed elbows and smashed knees, I picked up a camera to document it all. That’s when the obsession started.
What began as snapping “cool bike stuff” soon became something more meaningful: people, connection, light, stories.
I travelled the world, camera to eye, capturing stories and friendships along the way. From commercial campaigns for global brands to intimate portraits of real lives being lived, I slowly found my way to weddings.
These days, my world is slower-paced but no less full of life. If im not diving into the dessert table at a wedding, I'm usually out getting my wellies muddy... I also enjoy cycling, jumping on a plane to anywhere, and the zoo!
I firmly believe espresso should be enjoyed slowly — unless you're a parent, in which case, you know… survival mode.
I live in a small market town with my wife Elizabeth and our whirlwind of a son, Reuben.
They’re my why.
How I work
When I photograph a wedding, I want you to feel at ease, seen, and celebrated — not styled or staged. I blend in when I need to, step forward when the moment calls, and always aim to capture your day with a thoughtful, considered approach.
I’m drawn to soft natural light, dramatic shadows, and quiet moments that speak volumes. But I also love the energy of the dancefloor, the glamour of city celebrations, and the raw beauty of emotion mid-vow.

Let Me Raise A Glass (Of Red) To My Wife
Weddings and marriage are important to me, of course, but I have my own wedding story, too.
It started when I met my wife, Elizabeth. Her support for me and unquestionable love make me who I am.
Between us, we have an amazing son, Reuben, and a rescued pussy cat called Luna.
I feel COMPLETE now that I have my own FAMILY.
