Looking for Newcastle wedding photographers then look no further.
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?
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
We aren’t posting on Instagram every day despite having shot over 550 weddings. This modern culture has sabotaged the wedding industry, making photographers spend 90% of their time looking for new clients and 10% on your wedding. You can tell because they refuse to show you full galleries. We go the other way, we spend 90% on your wedding and 10% on Instagram. We care about your whole wedding. Shots of your gran, your distant friendships, your connections, your whole story.
Documentary vs Editorial
When you are looking for a wedding photographer, nowadays you seem to have a choice of either an editorial photographer or a documentary photographer. An editorial photographer follows you with a flash all day. Pictures look cool, magazine ready, quite posey, but it can be exhausting on the day. A documentary photographer captures your friends and family and is more authentic. We do 10% editorial and 90% documentary. This way your day is given room to breathe, you can be yourselves and the awesome shots are precise rather than haphazard.
Photo vs Video
Some people want video some don’t. Many photographers are adding on video that looks like a video. We have shot over 150 cinematic films all over the country. If you are going to get it done, get something that inspires, rather than something anyone could do.
Vibes matter
Mostly, we love being part of your day. The right photographer doesn’t just capture moments—they fit seamlessly into them. When you look at our images, it’s not forced fun. It’s people enjoying the best day of their lives, completely at ease.
“Paul felt like one of the guests, just as he promised. He fit perfectly into our day and captured it all with such 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.”
- Justine and Paul”
