Last update: October 2024

Choosing the right wedding photographer is crucial because your wedding photos will be the most important memories of your special day. If you're considering me as your wedding photographer, here are some compelling reasons:

**Professional Expertise**: Stuart McLernon is known for his professional expertise in the field of photography. Having a seasoned professional means you're more likely to have high-quality photos that capture the essence of your day. My experience enables me to handle the varying lighting conditions and fast-paced environments typical of weddings.

**Artistic Style**: Each photographer has a unique style. Reviewing my portfolio should give you a clear sense of my artistic approach. Whether it’s technique, color palette, or the emotion captured, my style should resonate with what you envision for your wedding photos.

**Attention to Detail**: Good photographers have an innate attention to detail that enables them to capture the magic in mundane moments. My ability to notice and creatively capture the small but significant details can make your wedding album truly special.

**Positive Testimonials**: Being highly recommended by past clients speaks volumes. Positive testimonials and reviews from couples who have worked with me and appreciated my work can assure you of a pleasant and professional experience.

**Personal Rapport**: It’s important that you feel comfortable and connect well with your photographer, as this can greatly affect how natural and relaxed you appear in your photos. It is important to be someone who puts you at ease and understands your vision.

**Reliability**: Having a reliable photographer who arrives on time, respects your schedule, and delivers the final photos promptly is crucial. This reliability means you can be more confident that I will smoothly fit into your wedding day.

**Custom Packages**: Depending on your budget and needs, My flexibility in offering customizable packages can be a significant advantage. Whether you need me for a few hours or a full-day shoot, the ability to tailor services to your preferences can make your experience much more satisfying.

**Pre-Wedding Shoot available**: People can be shy in front of a camera. Booking a pre-wedding shoot can be a great opportunity for you to work with me prior to the wedding day and understand how I operates. This is a great time to share posing tips and to see how you appear on the back of the camera before the big day.

Remember, the best choice in a wedding photographer is not only about the end product but also about ensuring the journey there is enjoyable and stress-free. Take a look through my website and see if I tick all your boxes...

More than just a photographer!

More than just a photographer!

We booked Stuart and Richard after trawling through countless messages from photographers after using a wedding website to find a replacement photographer short notice. Stuart stood out from all the others with his straight to the point approach- perfect for us! We booked him straight away and explained our situation of postponing our wedding due to covid and the passing of my father unexpectedly. Despite eloping we’d decided to have a wedding blessing a year later with family when the restrictions were lifted. Understandably there were aspects of our day that were super important not only to capture our love with our closest people but also sentimental moments. The attention to detail was captured in the build up to the ceremony and throughout, we love our photographs. I didn’t even see the majority of the photographs being taken, this was exactly what we wanted, to trust the right photographs were being taken without us dictating or barking orders on the day. This allowed us to enjoy our special day and not worry about anything. Stuart’s down to earth friendly personality not only put me at ease but also the bridal party, groomsman and guests. It felt like both Stuart and Richard were old friends and they captured special moments throughout the day with ease. We didn’t originally want formal photos due to absent family members but following Stuart’s experienced suggestions we decided to go ahead and we are so grateful for the gentle push, we would of regretted not doing so!

So in summary, if you want down-to-earth, quality photographers with an eye for detail then M-Print Digital Imagery are your guys! The only issue you may have is deciding which photos to have in an album as there are so many amazing photos to choose from. Thanks again Stuart and Richard!

Christmas Wedding

We chose Stuart McLernon from Stockportphoto for our Christmas wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased.
We met Stuart before the wedding at our chosen venue to discuss ideas and how the day would unfold. Stuart listened to what we liked and made some great suggestions.
Communication was always spot on and any queries were answered very quickly.
We found pricing was competitive with the current market and we liked that we could add hours rather than having to go for a full package that we didn’t want.
On the day Stuart and his assistant Adam were amazing putting even the most photophobic guest at ease. The group shots were quick and fun to do and many of the guests commented such.
The formal and group shots are stunning and the lightening is beautiful on both which is amazing given the inherent darkness of our venue. Stuart was also flexible allowing us to add a couple of impromptu group shots that we had missed off our list.
Stuart gave us a good mix of formal and informal photos capturing the tears, joy and fun of the day. We will treasure them forever. We love them!
I would highly recommend Stuart of Stockportphoto for your big day.

Brilliant photos

Thanks again to Stuart and Rick for being so wonderful and taking some brilliant photos to help us document our wedding day. Before the wedding, Stuart was super professional and always responsive to any queries, even visiting the venue with us beforehand and making a plan for the day. We always felt like we were in safe hands, and on the day Stuart and Rick were calm, professional and helpful, making sure we got the best shots while still ensuring we and our guests enjoyed ourselves. Even though it was a little bit windy and rainy, you wouldn’t be able to tell it from the photos - they’re lovely and we’re so happy with how they look.

August wedding

Excellent service from the start to end of our special day!
We had great communication with Stuart prior to our wedding where he met us at the venue to look at photo opportunities and then on the day both photographers went above and beyond. We all felt extremely comfortable and they captured every moment perfectly. They took a selection of formal photos and a lot of candid photos. When receiving these we were amazed at how many photos were taken! They captured everyone!
We would highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional photographer!
Thank you!

Brilliant and professional service!

Stuart and Adam have been brilliant and professional throughout! We were nervous at first, particularly me as I get scared being the centre of attention, but Stuart and Adam made us feel at ease. The photos taken were fantastic with a mixture of natural and formal shots with everyone capturing the highlights of the day. We cannot stop looking at the photos, they look amazing! Also, wedding planning hasn't been easy for us with most things organized last minute due to lockdown and our busy working life, however Stuart was very accommodating with our requests and late booking. Highly recommended and thank you so much!

Wedding photography

I had a great experience with Stuart and his associates Rick and Adam for our wedding photos! He was amazing from the start, approachable, prompt in replying to our quote and enquiries and extremely accommodating given the fact we moved our date 5 times because of the covid pandemic. We had great fun during our planning meetings and on the day itself. He helped both my husband and I feel relaxed on our day and they captured some amazing photos of a very memorable day! I look forward to booking with him again for our anniversary reception next year!

Cannot recommended enough!

We hired Stuart and Rick as our wedding photographers and honestly couldn't recommend them enough. After meeting with Stuart, myself and my husband agreed that we had definitely chosen the perfect photographer for our special day. During the meeting we discussed everything at length and Stuart explained how the pictures would be structured and coached us for particular poses to get the best pictures. Every part of the whole process was so easy, Stuart was easy to contact, answered all my daft questions and gave me such confidence that put my mind at ease for the big day. So many guests commented on how charismatic Stuart was and how comfortable they felt whilst him and Rick were moving around taking pictures and during the formal photos. We received the pictures within the time frame quoted and are absolutely over the moon with them. It's so nice to look back on them, as you're so wrapped up in what's going on that you don't even get a chance to take it all in yourself! The mix of both formal and candid photos captured the day exactly as we hoped and we couldn't be more pleased with the way they turned out.

Wedding photos

We hired Stuart as our wedding photographer and him and Rick were absolutely fantastic. All our guests were at ease around them, everyone really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere they created. We cannot recommend them enough, Stuart was fantastic leading up to the wedding, being easy to contact, holding a pre wedding meeting where we were able to talk through what we wanted and he talked us through the structure and poses to get the best photos as well as offering his advice and easing any worries we had. Our photos were sent through before the 4 week suggestion that Stuart gave us. Our photos are incredible and we have enjoyed spend time going through them, reliving our wedding day. Absolutely excellent job! We can't thank Stuart & Rick enough, we are beyond grateful for the outstanding job they did in capturing our special day.

The photos we recieved were breath taking and everyone loved them! you captured all our special moment and more. We can't thank you both enough for your hard work and kindness. Would highly recommend this comedic pair for your special day 🥰❤️
