Hello! We’re the Evanses – Pete and Leanie – and we’re husband and wife wedding photographers. We live on the edge of the Peak District, but we photograph weddings all over the UK (and internationally!). Read on to find out a bit more about us and how we work…
Our approach
Our couples love our relaxed, fun and professional approach that produces authentic yet stylish and romantic wedding photography. We believe in a balance between natural, candid photos and gently guided couples portraits (no stiff posing here!) that gives you a beautiful visual story of your wedding day.
We understand you want your wedding day to be perfect - so do we! And we also appreciate that you'll probably have lots of questions about your wedding photography and how we work. We aim to answer as many of your questions as possible and offer guidance in the run up to your big day. When you're planning a wedding, there's so many decisions to make and things to think about, and we aim to make your wedding photography as easy as possible.
Your choice of wedding photographer is a major decision as you plan your day, because when the day is over, the cake cut and the dress packed away, it’s your wedding photos that will provide the most enduring memories - so it’s perhaps the most important decision of all! So, whether you choose us or another photographer, make sure you’re comfortable with your choice and that the style of the photographer fits with your own vision. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and share your own ideas. Most importantly, it shouldn’t be stressful - it should be fun!
If you’d like to ‘meet’ us before you make a booking, join us for a Zoom chat - we'd love to talk to you about your wedding!
our Philosophy
Everything starts with love.
Including photography. Why do we do what we do? LOVE. Seeing joy in other people. Watching raw emotion - and capturing it forever. Because we absolutely believe that WHAT we do MATTERS.
Photographs last a lifetime, and they should, they’re your memories. You’ll take them with you into your old age, then you’ll pass them on to your children, and your grandchildren, or other members of your family. That means creating photographs that will last for your lifetime and beyond, and creating wedding albums that become heirlooms.
