HI FRIENDS.I'm so glad you're here.

A UK and Destination Wedding Photographer based in Manchester Cheshire covering the North West


Hello! It’s so lovely to meet you. My name is Chu Chu and I’m the lead wedding photographer behind Take Two Wedding Photography. 

Based in Manchester but capturing happy couples worldwide, I work to document every important detail on your special day. With years of experience and hundreds of weddings captured, we are experts in creating stunning visual stories of your day. By utilising an editorial, documentary style wedding photography, we create images that are natural, classic and effortless, whilst also capturing the joy of the day organically.

We’re here to ensure you remember your special day exactly as it was – without ‘say cheese’, superman poses, or hours of waiting. Just you and your loved ones being your authentic selves.

Our lens doesn’t just see, it feels – crafting frames that resonate with real emotions and stories. Your once-in-a-lifetime day deserves nothing less. We can’t wait to photograph your big day!

A LITTLE ABOUT Wedding Photography …DOCUMENTARY STYLE, PHOTOJOURNALISM, STORYTELLING: ART.

  • Every documentary wedding photographer is different, but my goal is always to get as many wall-worthy wedding photos as possible – without posing for hours on end.

    Documentary wedding photography means capturing the real, unscripted details and unique personalities that make up your love story, as well as snapping those hallmark moments as they happen.

    The result is creative and candid shots that serve as priceless keepsakes for generations to come.

  • I like to capture your wedding as it unfolds organically around me. No awkward smiles, no saying cheese, and certainly no groomsmen holding a bride across their arms!

    I'll give gentle direction when needed to help you feel confident in front of the camera, but will also blend into the background – for wedding photography that doesn’t require your full attention all day.

    Finally, I’ll use my expert eye to fine-tune those love-filled moments into effortless frames you’ll treasure forever.

  • Working with creative, carefree couples, I document your unique style and love story through a fine art lens.

    This means you can expect soul-stirring images that play on natural light, beautiful backgrounds, and astonishing compositions of colour and texture – without endless hours of faffing and waiting around.

    To do this, I get to know you and your venue before the big day, for an in-depth idea of the images you want to achieve.

    Then, on the day itself, you can relax and be present while I capture every element to a studio-quality standard.

From Past Couples

  • Anna & Andrew

    “Chu Chu is extremely talented in making the photoshoot itself a comfortable, fun and memorable experience. My agoraphobic husband with general anxiety was all relaxed and happy the whole time, cracking jokes. Chu Chu really made us feel special. I get complimented a lot on how real the pictures look, our emotions are coming through beautifully. She also takes into consideration how would you like your photos to be coloured, gives you really good location ideas, and asks great and useful questions. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and exceed all my expectations, we love them and cherish them a lot. Thank you again, we really are grateful for all the humanity and professionalism.”

    I cannot recommend Taketwo highly enough. Captured our wedding day perfectly and went above and beyond. We spoke prior to the event about the style of photographs we wanted and our photos turned out exactly how we asked. Chu Chu was extremely patient and friendly and a pleasure to be around. We love that we have a mixture of posed and paparazzi style photos that we will treasure forever. Thank you!
