reasons to choose me as your clitheroe register office photographer
I show up quietly, I read the room and I shoot in a way that lets the day breathe.
The moments you’ll want to remember. The glance across the room before the registrar starts, the way your hands look when you sign the register, the exhale when it’s over and it’s real, those happen on their own. My job is just to be ready for them.
I’ve photographed weddings at The Clock Tower and at venues across the Ribble Valley. I know where the light falls, I know the walk to the castle, and I know how to make portraits feel like you.

Hey, I’m Toni. I love old photographs, the kind with crumpled edges that your grandparents would dig out on a rainy day. I love that they would always know the full story hidden within every single one. I have an obsession with polaroids and real film, giving me that feeling where one memory could live a life of it’s own.
