Looking for Newcastle wedding photographers then look no further.
Style & dedication
At Paul Liddement Wedding Stories, we go above and beyond the norm providing the best possible content and experience on the day. We limit ourselves to 30 weddings per year due to our hand edit work behind the scenes.
What Sets Us Apart
Only stand out photographers get featured on ITV, BBC Radio, Daily Mail, Huffington Post, and The Knot like we have.
We are multi-award-winning through Looks Like Film and Fearless, with features in Tatler and Vogue and many more.
We have shot over 550 weddings across the UK and abroad and met people from all walks of life.
We’ve been chosen by families of celebrities including Andy Serkis, James Middleton, Jade Thirlwall, Sadiq Khan, and Steve Harmison.
Trusted and recommended by many of the suppliers we’ve collaborated with — all through genuine word of mouth, never paid placements.
A background in film and teaching brings calm direction, quick organisation, and an instinct for storytelling.

Who We Are
[RARE] Whether you are a little bit loud or a little bit proud, we read the room. We don’t come in shy, we don’t come in dominating. We adapt to your vibe and be as personable as possible and this is why people book us!
We understand the people like one of the guests do, so we know where moments will happen before they do.
We capture the day as it naturally unfolds, so no awkward posing, no interruptions, just honest emotion and joy with a sprinkle uniquely creative compositions and editorial portraits.
[RARE] We understand light and are advanced with low light which is what drives the distinctive cinematic feel to our work. Even the Flash Masters will admit, flash is a tedium of trial and error, we use continuous light so you get your epic shots in 2 attempts without the take 17 approach.
This shot was achieved in under a minute vs half an hour of retakes with flash, why would you want to spend more than a minute in the cold?
Hand editing
Every image is edited by hand using refined colour techniques for true-to-life skin tones. We have some of the most advanced editing techniques in the business and avoid turning faces grey or orange like umpa lumpas.
The 3 edits at the top are the 3 most popular AI edits that hundreds of photographers use. The one below is my hand edited cinematic work which takes 10x longer to perfect.
Distinctive Approach
We mix naturally with your guests, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and lively.
[RARE] I have met over 100 photographers who all think i’m mad for using 2 cameras during confetti, but why take a chance?
Reasons We May Not Be the Right Fit
Wedding Stories
Despite having shot over 550 weddings we aren’t posting hero shots on instagram daily, although we do love a bit of glam! Solely focusing on instagram though does dilute your story. For us, precious moments should never be omitted from your day in favour of an algorithm. We believe in focusing on those moments between moments, your guests, your distant relationships, your connections, shots of your gran. We treasure your whole story.
Exquisite
There’s a perception that photographers priced at 3–4K are automatically “better.” You should absolutely invest in quality, but at Paul Liddement Wedding Stories, we go above and beyond in the final product we deliver. Few photographers capture your day with the balance of documentary honesty and editorial craft that we do. From designer lighting to cinematic films, we have honed our craft to ensure your story feels authentic, emotional, timeless and effortlessly you.
Film > video
Our cinematic films are an emotional part of your story rather than a generic add-on. We create films that are personal, emotional and that inspire. Whether it’s a cinematic reel or a full film, it should feel natural, comfortable and something you are genuinely excited to revisit.
Vibes matter
Mostly, we love being part of your day, blending in, reading the room and not taking over. In our work you will find personality, real calm and people truly at ease.
What makes this a great image is its ‘Editorial’ with an off the cuff, Vogue look. However what makes it advanced? It wasn’t posed. I understood the couple, knew they might kiss after the grooms speech, it was perfectly timed!. 🤘
“Paul paid so much attention to our personalities and how we had styled the venue. He fitted in so well, that several of our guests asked how we knew him. As soon as Paul left, my husband and I both felt like we had said goodbye to a friend.”
