Haunt ME

About Vicky

I’m a self-confessed horror, fantasy, and video game nut—a creature of the night with a penchant for the macabre. I love nothing more than a cosy night in with me husband, diving into ghostly games and soaking up the haunting echoes of classic movie soundtracks. And truth be told, my heart belongs to Lord of the Rings—a weakness as legendary as any medieval saga. If it’s dead, I’m all in: taxidermied beasts, grim skulls, eerie insects, or odd shells unearthed on our coastal wanderings with the dogs.

My three fluffy puppers are my true little ones—the cherished children of this Lancashire heart. There’s Luna, the wild spirit; Penny, the dreadful charmer; and Bo, the cheeky Bozo, each as unique as a character from a medieval fable.

After 12 years behind the lens and 7 of forging my own path, I’m blessed with the best job in the world. I get to conjure smiles, spark laughter, and capture the enchanting beauty in every soul. What more could a serial people-lover ask for?

FAQs

  • I’m based in Greater Manchester, but I travel all over the UK to capture love stories in all their wild, wonderful, and personality-packed glory. I’ve even had the pleasure of photographing the occasional overseas wedding—because let’s be honest, love (and a good adventure) knows no borders!

  • Wedding package prices vary for each service, coverage, and year.

    They typically start from £1400, but no package is set in stone and prices can change due to extras added.

    You can find my latest package brochures on my website.

  • I have very flexible wedding packages. For a shorter, more focused session, my half day provides up to 4 hours of coverage—perfect if there’s a particular part of your day you want captured. ie: Preparation to Ceremony, Ceremony to Speeches.

    If you’re after the full story, my full day package spans around 10 hours, covering everything from the intimate preparations to the magic of your first dance and right through to the lively party time where every laugh and cheer is immortalised.

  • Once your wedding day’s wrapped up, I dive into a proper editing marathon – usually around 6 to 12 weeks – to craft your full image collection. Each shot is given a bespoke treatment, ensuring the colours, style, and quality are spot on, like a finely woven piece of your very own tapestry. I’m not one for generic presets – where’s the charm in that? I want every image to tell your unique story, with every wedding gallery receiving its own personal edit. Think of it as creating your very own legend, as distinctive as a cherished tale from days of yore.

  • Don’t worry – I’m all about getting to know you both as a couple and as unique individuals. I love a proper chinwag about your likes, dislikes, hobbies, music taste, favourite films, and even those current obsessions that keep you buzzing, whether it’s a retro 90s vibe or the latest indie hit. Let me in on any wedding day jitters or aspects you’re not too comfortable with – that way, I can make sure you’re never pushed outside your comfort zone. My top priority is ensuring you have a cracking day and a photo session that’s as memorable as a timeless tale.

  • Item descriptionDon’t worry if your venue is a bit small or plain – we can always take a little jaunt to a nearby park or a scenic country road. I’ll hop in my trusty Bat Mobile (The Cupra) and we’ll pop out for a quiet minute of magic. And if your ceremony is in a different spot to your reception venue, no stress – we can make a charming little stop-off along the way to capture those extra special moments.

    If popping out isn’t for you, trust me, I can make the most of any environment to create you some epic photos.
