About Chris Allum Photography

I'm a wedding and events photographer who captures real, natural moments across weddings, Christenings, First Holy Communions, birthday parties, and family celebrations. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera while I document genuine emotions and memorable moments as they happen. Clients choose me because I bring a calm, friendly presence and deliver timeless photographs that reflect the atmosphere and story of their special day.

Our Story

With over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings, Christenings, First Holy Communions, parties, and all kinds of special events. I love capturing real moments and genuine emotions, and every event brings its own unique story. It’s a privilege to be part of these important occasions and create natural, timeless photographs that people can look back on for years to come.

Our Team

Hi, I’m Chris, a wedding and events photographer with over 12 years of experience. I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, and over the years that passion has grown into a career capturing weddings, Christenings, First Holy Communions, parties, and other special celebrations. My approach is relaxed and natural, focusing on real moments and genuine emotions, so you can enjoy your day while I document it exactly as it happened.

Experience

I started photographing family weddings and quickly fell in love with capturing real moments. Now, with 12+ years of experience, I specialize in natural light and creative off-camera flash photography to tell each couple’s unique story. My goal is simple: keep things relaxed, fun, and capture your day exactly as it feels.

Typical Clients

I work with couples who want their wedding day captured in a natural, relaxed way without anything feeling forced or awkward. I photograph weddings and related celebrations of all sizes, from intimate ceremonies to full-day events. Couples love working with me because I’m laid-back, easy to be around, and focused on capturing real moments, real emotions, and all the little things that make their day theirs.

Chris captured our wedding day perfectly!

We couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough for wedding photography. From start to finish, he was professional, relaxed and incredibly easy to have around, which was exactly what we wanted for our day. The quality of the photos is exceptional. Chris captured all the shots we hoped for, while also getting so many natural, candid moments that genuinely captured the atmosphere of the day. We wanted our photos to feel like us — relaxed, comfortable and fun — and Chris managed to capture that perfectly. We especially loved the photos of ourselves and our guests. Every image feels authentic and really reflects who we are and how the day felt. He captured so many special moments that we might otherwise have missed.

Perfect!

Chris was fantastic – friendly, professional and a pleasure to have with us on our wedding day. He captured a wonderful mix of formal and candid photographs and was incredibly patient, while also being so unobtrusive that we often barely noticed he was there. He was also extremely accommodating: when we decided on the day that we wanted him to stay into the evening, he happily stayed for an additional two hours. We now have a beautiful collection of photographs that really captures the atmosphere of the whole day, including so many lovely moments we would otherwise have missed. We couldn’t be happier with the photographs or the service Chris provided and would highly recommend him.

One of a kind photographer!

It didn’t take long to choose Chris as our photographer, he was exactly what we were looking for! Chris is not only a genuinely lovely person, he is also the definition of a candid photographer. Our wedding album is beautiful, and all of our guests commented on how good he was on the day, to be specific “you wouldn’t even know he was there!” Which sounds strange, but it’s exactly the vibe we were going for, and all the pictures turned out so naturally. Everything was so easy to organise and he was always on the end of the phone. Would recommend him to anyone and everyone. 10/10 would book again, and probably will for some family photos!

Chris was right on time, friendly, proffesional

Chris communicated very well with regard to what would happen and when before the wedding, he took pictures in the house that were all natural before we left, even one of the dog. I would recommend him highly to any other couple. Photos are fabulous so chufffed!
