Hi, I'm Kellianne, a creative photographer working in Manchester & the North West. I capture love stories, family connections and growing brands through relaxed, emotive imagery. My approach is organic, inclusive and fun, creating timeless photographs that feel as authentic as the moments themselves.
Being a professional photographer is a dream come true. Every day I have the privilege of capturing stories, milestones and the moments that matter most. Whether it's a wedding, a family celebration or a business showcasing its brand, I feel incredibly grateful to be trusted with preserving those memories.
My photography style is natural, relaxed and storytelling-led, focusing on genuine moments and real emotion to create timeless images that feel true to you.
Based in Stockport, I provide professional photography services across Manchester, Cheshire and the surrounding areas, working with couples, families and businesses to tell their unique stories.
Your wedding day is about so much more than photographs—it's about the memories and emotions you'll want to relive for years to come. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, capturing everything from the big moments to the quiet glances in between with natural, authentic storytelling.
Whether you're welcoming a new baby, updating family photographs or celebrating a special milestone, my portrait sessions are relaxed, enjoyable and centred around genuine connection. The result is a collection of natural images you'll treasure for years to come.
I work with businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations across Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire to create authentic headshots, personal branding photography, team portraits and business content that reflects the personality and professionalism behind your brand.
Take a look through my portfolio to explore the different photography services I offer. If my natural, storytelling style feels like the right fit, I'd love to hear about your plans.
When I moved to Manchester in 2004 I decided that I wanted to take a new career in photography. I went to college and studied photography while assisting many photographers in Manchester and gaining experience within the photography industry. I realised quickly that I had found my passion. I could express myself in a way that I had never been able to before, by creating images that meant something, maybe by touching people’s hearts or envoking emotions. It made me realise I had found a career that I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Over the years that path has grown into a mix of weddings, family portraits and commercial work.
I started off working in a make over studio in Manchester, learning the ropes of a photography studio, working with clients and honing my photography skills. This led to me opening my own photography studio in the centre of Manchester. Here I took on lots of photography clients, mainly fashion and portrait clients as well as commercial companies. Having my own studio was wonderful, I loved being in the city centre of Manchester and working in the hustle and bustle. Then when I had children I decided that having my own studio wasn’t the right decision for me. Now when I need to photograph in a studio I rent studios in Manchester or surrounding areas as and when I need them. It gives me the freedom to be flexible without having the pressure of having rent and bills of my own studio. If you're planning a city shoot, you might also like these Manchester location ideas.
As I shoot weddings mainly it is not necessary to have my own studio anymore. I travel around the country photographing weddings and fashion shoots and often photograph headshots or corporate photography at the business’s location or office. Being a photographer in Manchester is a fantastic job, I think that loving what you do means working is a pleasure. I run a fashion studio in the city centre of Manchester which I love, I enjoy the responsibility of running a team of people. My people managing skills are tested on a daily basis and I love working with model agencies and helping discover new talent in the area.
As a photographer I spend as much time behind my computer editing photographs as I do behind the camera. I find that people skills are very important in this industry. Finding clients that I have a connection with is just as important as my clients liking my style of photography. Every client that I work with I end up having a special bond with. Being a photographer, especially at someone’s wedding is so personal and I will do everything I can to make sure that all my clients get exactly what they want and enjoy spending time with me.
Now that I live out of the city centre of Manchester I enjoy all aspects of life. I can enjoy being a photographer in the countryside which is right on my doorstep and then I can travel 45 minutes into the city centre and spend time in the place where I learned my photography skills and where I know so many fantastic places to shoot. I would say most of my corporate clients are based in the centre of Manchester, companies that need photography on a regular basis so I spend a lot of my time travelling into the city centre. But there is nothing I love more than coming home and driving out into the countryside. As I get older being out in the countryside is what soothes my soul.
I feel so lucky to have a career doing a job that I love. Every day is so different in the photography world, no two photo shoots are the same. Each client has different needs and requirements and making sure that I complete every project to the best of my ability means that I am always striving to improve my photography skills and equipment to ensure I can give my clients the best service possible. Even though I have been a photographer for almost 20 years I still find it important to attend photography workshops or organise creative test shoots. When you have been doing one job for so long it is so important to have time to be creative and learn new techniques. I find that over the years my photography styles has completely changed.
The photographs I took when I was starting out in Manchester as a photographer are completely different to my work now. One of the wonderful things about being a photographer is that you can continuously evolve and better yourself. I strive to always be the best I can be for my clients. I will always love the job that I do, helping people have amazing memories or helping them be the best versions of themselves. I hope that I will be able to be a photographer in Manchester for many years to come.
