we are David + Jane AKA
the STANBURY’S
Best Cheshire Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers
When looking for Best Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers for your wedding day its easy to get lost and what actually makes a photographer & filmmaker the best? Is it awards, is it recommendations & experience? We feel its a mixture of all of these.
As experienced wedding photographers & filmmakers we have been blessed to work at some of the best Cheshire Wedding Venues and many of the best Lake District Wedding Venues that are all local to us but we also can be found photographing weddings from Scotlands Best Wedding Venues to Londons Best Wedding Venues and further afield.
Anyway let us introduce ourselves….
Hi, We Are The STANBURY’S
Huge Congratulations…
On your engagement and thanks for dropping in. We are David & Jane and we are also married, hence The Stanbury’s.. well thats who we are.
Where do you start, well they say opposites attract and we are living proof of this….
Jane is a massive Elvis fan and David loves indie music, Jane loves Harley Davidson motorbikes and David loves Lambrettas, Jane before photography was a time served mechanic and David….. well lets say he wasnt.
We first met at school and have 3 children who have been well & truly photographed, after photography our other love is traveling; especially to experience different cultures & cuisines around the world but love nothing more than a chippy tea.
Our photography business started over 30 years ago out of our love for photography & the perfect image, but over the years our need to be creative, to tell stories with our cameras grew so much that the business turned into what it is today….. our life!
WE LOVE A GOOD WEDDING!
We have been so privileged to have been doing what we love for over 30 years and blessed to have photographed over 1700 weddings to date and have many wonderful memories, in fact the best bit of our amazing job is the laughter we hear & the friends we make. We have been blessed to have witnessed couples say ‘I do’ in some of the most stunning locations, from ceremonies in boutique city hotels to on the side of a mountain in the French alps, a stunning Villa on the Amalfi Coast in Italy and on a beautiful beach in Sri Lanka.
Its also an honour to have collected many awards & qualifications, most importantly being one of a small group of photographers holding a triple Fellowship qualification & at the National Photography Awards receiving the honour of UK Wedding Photographer of the Year & UK Best Wedding Album of the Year.
We are people people, we love people, we love to chat, socialise and make new friends everywhere we go, what makes us most proud are the many comments from couples and their family & friends of how friendly and helpful we were on their wedding day; but at the end of the day what really makes us tick is telling the story, with our cameras, of when two peoples lives change forever that makes the hairs on the back of our neck stand up and puts a smile on our faces.
