Ahhh I’m so happy to finally share this – one of my weddings has been featured on the amazing English Wedding Blog and honestly, it’s such a lovely one to see published.
This was such a fun day to photograph at Bolton Town Hall and the Albert Halls – full of good energy, intimate emotional moments, lots of laughter and just a really relaxed atmosphere from start to finish.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Priti for our registry wedding. From the moment we met her she was a joy to work with. On the day, she captured every emotion so beautifully, including moments we didn’t even realise were happening. She transformed Bolton town centre into something magical and made us feel completely at ease with her calm guidance. We’ve had so many compliments on the photos she took and will treasure them forever.” Jasmine & Will
One Of Those Weddings That Just Felt Easy
You know when a wedding just has a really good vibe from the minute you arrive? This was one of those.
No stress, no awkwardness, no over-the-top formalities – just two people having the best day with their closest humans around them. Honestly, those are always my favourite weddings to photograph because people are properly present and enjoying themselves. I am so very excited to be photographing Jasmine & Will’s indian fusion wedding next month & can’t wait to share!
Bolton Town Hall is such an underrated wedding venue too. The architecture is incredible, the light inside is beautiful and there are loads of little spots around the building that work perfectly for relaxed portraits without disappearing for hours.
And the Albert Halls has so much character – it feels grand without feeling stuffy, which I love.
Why Features Like This Mean So Much
Getting featured on wedding blogs is always lovely, but especially when it’s a wedding that genuinely feels like “me” and the kind of work I love creating.
My approach has always been really documentary-led. I’m not into turning weddings into all-day photoshoots or making couples spend hours posing awkwardly. I’d much rather capture the real stuff – the hugs, chaos, drinks flying around the dance floor, proud parents trying not to cry, all of it.
The moments you’ll actually care about years later.
I think that’s why I loved this wedding so much. It wasn’t trying to be perfect. It was just fun, emotional and completely them.
