“I believe the most powerful wedding photographs are the ones that feel real, elevated by thoughtful composition, light, and timing. My role is to document your day honestly, while creating images you’d expect to see in print.”
Hi, I’m Paul of Amaris Lux Photography, a wedding photographer based in Cheshire & Manchester with over a decade of experience capturing weddings in a way that feels timeless, heartfelt, and true to each couple. My approach blends unobtrusive documentary storytelling with gentle editorial guidance, always focused on people, light, and the quiet, in-between moments that matter most.
My passion for photography is deeply influenced by travel and storytelling. I married my wife, Tamara, in South Africa’s Kruger National Park — an experience shaped by raw landscapes, remarkable people, and a powerful sense of atmosphere and light. Alongside a lifelong love of cinema, this has influenced the way I see the world and frame stories through imagery that feels immersive
and emotive.
When I photograph a wedding, my focus is simple: to tell the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, calmly, thoughtfully, and with artistic elegance. Above all, I want you to feel comfortable and fully present, trusting that your wedding is being captured with care, balance, and intention, creating a lasting legacy of how it truly felt.
From the very beginning, Paul was thoughtful, responsive and quietly in control. We felt completely at ease - and the photographs exceeded every expectation.
ROBERT & CATHERINE - CAPESTHORNE HALL
I photograph your wedding as it unfolds,
attentively and without intrusion.
The laughter, the glances, the quiet pauses,
this is where the story lives.
When the moment allows,
I offer gentle direction for portraits
that feel natural and considered.
Never stiff. Never overdone.
The result is a complete visual narrative:
honest, refined, and timeless.
Your wedding isn’t a styled shoot - it’s a living story.
My approach blends documentary honesty
with an editorial finish.
Real moments as they unfold,
paired with composed portraits
and details that feel at home in print.
Nothing forced. Thoughtful guidance when needed.
Space for your day to happen..
For couples who see their wedding as both a celebration and a legacy.
You want your wedding to feel authentic,
not staged.
You love editorial imagery but don’t want
your day interrupted.
You care about emotion, atmosphere,
and aesthetic equally.
You want photographs that feel timeless,
not trend-led.
Before the wedding, I’m available -
calls, advice, timing guidance.
On the day, I’m calm, present, and quietly in control.
Afterwards, I edit with care,
ensuring the story feels consistent and true.
No shortcuts. Just photographs that feel real.
I’ve been photographing weddings and events
professionally for over fifteen years.
That experience shows itself quietly
in how I move through a room, how I anticipate moments, and how I adapt when timelines shift or the weather refuses to cooperate.
You won’t need to manage me.
I’m already thinking ahead.
You get to be present. I’ll take care of the story.
“Paul is an outstanding photographer, patient,
thoughtful, and a joy to have with us on the day.
Every moment felt special.”

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Paul at Amarís Lux Wedding Photography. Our wedding at Peckforton Castle felt like a real fairytale, and Paul captured every part
of it beautifully.
The weather threw absolutely everything at us, freezing cold, wind, rain, even hail, but Paul took it all in his stride and somehow turned it into something magical. He knew exactly how to use the castle, finding incredible spots inside and out, and made us feel completely relaxed the whole time.
What really stood out was Paul’s creativity and attention to detail. From bright, romantic shots to darker, moodier images with stunning lighting, every photograph feels thoughtful and timeless rather than staged. Nothing felt rushed, forced, or awkward, just natural, fun, and genuinely us.
Thank you, Paul, for braving the cold with us and for telling our wedding story so perfectly through your images.
We’ll treasure them forever."
