MANCHESTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, NOW CALLING MANNY HOME 🤍

Born in Bournemouth, raised in Spain and now living in Manchester, I absolutely love photographing weddings across this city and beyond. From stylish city venues to relaxed countryside celebrations, there’s nothing better than capturing love stories in the place I now call home.

I travel across Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, the North West and throughout the UK for couples who want natural, candid wedding photography with a light and airy, true-to-tone feel. My approach is calm and fun with gentle direction when needed, so no awkward posing, just real laughter, genuine connection and timeless images that feel like you.

HIYA, I'M CARMEN 

TESTIMONIALS

Carmen is not only an absolutely lovely lady but highly talented and professional. She went above and beyond and on the day itself took on a coordinator role alongside her photography. Our day was even more perfect than we dreamt it would be, im holding Carmen and her lovely duo of trainees responsible entirely. She travelled to meet us prior to our wedding day, then again to photograph our wedding in Christchurch at Parley Manor, Dorset. From the moment she arrived she took charge, she organised the rings and all the small details being in the correct place with the correct people. She is the absolute best person to have with you on your wedding day and will make you feel completely at ease as if you have one if your best friends taking photos and sharing your day. She has the most positive upbeat personality and we had so many giggles. Professionally her photos (and we've only seen the sneak peeks as I'm writing this) are all absolutely beautiful, exactly what we wanted - candid, natural and captured every detail and emotion. We can not thank you enough Carmen. You were outstanding!! If you're reading this and looking for a fantastic wedding photographer - this is her!!

WHAT PAST CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

"Carmen was honestly amazing from start to finish, she was constantly in contact and listened to all our wish for our day. We didn't want a fuss nothing to posy with a very chilled playful vibe and wow did she deliver. We was both very nervous to be in front of the camera but Carmen put us both completely at ease from the very beginning. We couldn't be happier with how out photograph's turned out it was exactly what we wanted and more. I couldn't not recommend Carmen enough and will now not use anyone else. Her work is outstanding and her personality is beuatiful. We can not thank her enough."

We honestly can’t put into words how thankful we are."

WHAT PAST CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

"We had the pleasure of having Carmen as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked her right through to receiving our final photos, her communication was amazing, it was clear, warm, and always reassuring.
On the day itself, she brought exactly the relaxed, easygoing vibe we were hoping for. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured everything so naturally, and blended in seamlessly with our guests. The photos are stunning and feel so genuine, a perfect reflection of the day. We can’t recommend Carmen enough!"

Carmen is one of the nicest people weve worked with, genuinely lovely person! She made the day even more fun and enjoyable, we barely noticed the cameras. We were kept up to date and informed the whole way through and it has been a joy planning with her and on the day. The photos came out beautiful!

OUR STYLE

What it's like working with me

My aim is to quietly blend into your day and let it unfold naturally, stepping in with gentle direction only when it’s actually needed. Your wedding isn’t a styled shoot, it’s real life, real emotion and real people and I want your photos to

reflect that without me taking over or staging every second.
It’s your story, your people, your moments. I just get the honour of capturing it all and handing it back to you in a gallery full of laughter, soft romance, happy tears and those slightly chaotic little bits that make the day completely yours.

PORTFOLIO

Peek into real days: muddy hems, teary dads, wind in veils, belly-laughs. I shoot candid-first with a gentle nudge when it helps across Manchester, the North West & beyond. If you can hear the laughter while you scroll, we’re a match.

We are so excited to be considered for your special day!

THANK YOU.
