Last update: March 2026

Carrie Spear is a wedding photographer covering Chester, Liverpool, and the whole of the North West.

Carrie appreciates that choosing a wedding photographer can be a daunting task, which is why you need to be sure you love their style and ask them plenty of questions! Carrie's style is relaxed and modern, preferring to steer clear of stuffy portraits and instead letting the action take the lead. She snaps the fun, emotion and activity of the day as it happens, with as little interference as possible. Whilst still helping you to look your best for the all-important bridal couple portraits.

Lets keep things chilled, relaxed & fun but still get your gorgeous portraits.

Multiple packages are available, but Carrie appreciates that all couples and wedding days are unique, so she is flexible in her approach and always happy to fit with your needs. A second photographer is also available to cover both parties' preparations. Carrie & her husband Mike have been photographing weddings together since 2013.

If you like what you hear - and see! - get in touch with Carrie and discuss your big day.

Incredible pictures

We picked Carrie as our wedding photographer after someone we knew had let us down, this was the best thing that could have happened. Not only was Carrie a friendly and bubbly photographer that made you relax her style of candid photography captured some incredible pictures.
It wasn't just my wife and I that were impressed but also all of the guests were with the way she took the pictures and how comfortable they felt. We have just received our photos this morning that have truly exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to share them with our friends and family who we are sure will be even more impressed with Carrie now.
We have used professional photographers many times before now but from now on Carrie will be the only photographer that we use and I am recommending her to everyone I know.
Thanks again!

I’ve already recommended you to others

Thank you for the pictures they really exceeded my expectations.  We both said after the day, that we were so happy that we asked you to be our photographer and that our previous photographer had done us a favour by letting us down.

I had chosen you by just looking on your website and people said we’d made a mistake by not choosing someone that was recommended but everyone was so impressed with you on the day and I’m sure they will be even more once they see the pictures.

I’ve already recommended you to others and will continue to do so.

I want to say a massive thank you.

Organising the wedding from London meant that myself and Ed did not meet Carrie until the actual wedding day. However we did have a chat on skype which was so brilliant because we realised how friendly and organised you are. You asked lots of questions and explained a lot about how the pictures would be taken throughout the day.

Carrie you were so great at our wedding, so fun and energetic and you took the most amazing pictures. 
I can't wait to get buying frames to display the lovely photos. I also love how some of the pictures are in black and white.

Thank you again Carrie for being our photographer
