Tying the knot in the stunning countryside of Ribble Valley? Let’s talk!
I’ve covered scores of weddings over the years in and around the Ribble Valley, capturing love stories against the backdrop of Lancashire’s beautiful countryside, I’ve been fortunate to work in some truly extraordinary local venues. I’ve captured many couples’ special day in this rural location, renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and epic landscapes.
A little about me
My approach is all about storytelling in a natural and documentary style, focusing on the real emotions and unique details that make your day special. Wherever you look at Andy Wade Photography, you’ll see exactly what I’m all about.
Originally from South East London, I am now an honorary northerner after living in this neck of the woods for over 20 years. I live in Todmorden with my wife, two children and two dogs. I’m pretty chilled and love being out with my family, walking the dogs in the wilds of Lancashire, The Dales & The Lake District. I’m also a bit of a foodie and love a good crackly fire in the local establishment in the winter!
