About Northern Sky Events Weddings & Elopemants
I’m a Manchester-based photographer specialising in weddings, events and natural, candid storytelling. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, helping people feel comfortable while I capture genuine moments, real emotions and all the details that make an occasion unique. I’ve photographed everything from city-centre weddings and proposals to christenings, commercial meetings and family celebrations, and I’m happy to travel anywhere within a 50-mile radius of Manchester. All images are delivered in a clean, easy-to-share online gallery, and I’m fully insured. If you’re looking for someone friendly, experienced and easy to work with, I’d be delighted to help with your event.
Our Story
I’m a photographer based in the North West with a love for capturing real moments as they naturally unfold. After many years taking pictures for pleasure, I began photographing weddings, proposals and family events professionally, and people appreciated my calm approach and attention to detail. I work quietly in the background, looking for genuine expressions and the small interactions that often become the most meaningful images.
I use a Leica SL with high-quality Leica lenses, which gives a clean, natural look and excellent colour straight out of the camera. My aim is always to deliver a set of photos that feel authentic, beautifully edited and personal to each client.
Our Team
I’m Steve Swain, the sole photographer behind Northern Sky Photography.
I’m based in the North-West and specialise in weddings, events, portraits, and candid documentary-style photography. I handle every part of the process myself — from planning and shooting to editing and delivering the final images — so clients always know exactly who they’re working with.
I bring a friendly, unobtrusive approach and years of experience capturing natural, meaningful moments. My aim is always to provide a relaxed experience and photographs that people genuinely love.
Experience
I’ve spent years photographing weddings, events, portraits, proposals, and family gatherings across the North-West. My approach is friendly, calm, and unobtrusive, focusing on genuine moments rather than staged setups. I’ve built a strong reputation through consistent client feedback and positive reviews on platforms such as Bark and Bidvine.
Typical Clients
My typical clients are couples planning weddings, families organising special celebrations, and individuals or businesses who want relaxed, natural and beautifully edited photography. I regularly cover weddings, civil ceremonies, proposals, christenings, milestone birthdays, corporate meetings and small commercial shoots across Greater Manchester and the North West.
Credentials
I’m not part of any formal bodies or associations — instead, my work is supported by client recommendations, repeat bookings, and a portfolio that reflects real experience rather than certificates.
