Wedding Photography Excellence Awards Collection 56.

I’m a Manchester, northern UK based wedding photographer, shooting weddings alongside my other (better) half Pete Farrell, as Pixies in the Cellar. It seems over ten years have whizzed by and we’ve captured plenty of real wedding moments. Personally, I love the people, that’s what makes a wedding shine, being able to immortalise those real moments is quite an honour really. Photographically I look for simplicity, geometry and genuine emotion which all tickle my fancy. Over the past few years pressing the shutter at the correct time has paid off with multiple awards from ISPWP (Top UK photographer 2018), Fearless photographers, This is Reportage and MyWed. Looking forward to capturing more unique moments, timeless memories and quirky unexpected angles - wedding photography is such an amazing opportunity to express and explore that arty streak.

Paulo Santos, a very chilled out wedding photographer based in the UK. I like to keep thing quite simple. I’m creative and nosey, and I’m drawn to quirks and subtle detail. I like variety and I love to travel. Shooting weddings allows many of my needs to be met. Awards and accolades include Junebug Top 50 Wedding Photographs in the World 2014, Wedding Photography Select Excellence Awards, ISPWP International Awards, North East England Wedding Photographer of the Year 2013 & 2014, Junebug writer and contributor.

Pete (along side his wife, Sara - as Pixies in the Cellar) has been shooting weddings since 2008 throughout the UK and Europe. In this time Pete has become renown for his artistic photography, extracting everything possible from natural light alongside his own lighting methods. An obsession to deliver the best possible images and the desire to work for it are characteristics that define his work ethos. His creative and observational approach has been recognised over the years through numerous WPS Excellence awards, ISPWP awards, Fearless Photographers awards and MyWed awards.
