It’s not what someone does, it’s why they do it...

A wise man once said, "it’s not what someone does, it’s why they do it that really matters"... So, why am I a wedding photographer?

Errr, because I get to spend my days going to weddings and calling it “work”. Before I started this I would never have described myself as someone who “enjoyed meeting new people” or “likes being around drunk people while sober” but life is full of surprises and I genuinely love my “job”.

I have a real passion for capturing natural moments in a professional, but relaxed way. I'm honoured and humbled to be welcomed into someone’s world, during one of their most important life events. And I don't take that responsibility lightly.

Even after the longest of wedding days. I’ll still be smiling the whole way home, being surrounded by love and happiness all day is contagious!

I’m not going to lie, the free food and thank you booze helps, but, I honestly think that if it wasn't for having bills to pay (and my kids constantly needing new shoes) I'd happily shoot weddings for free.

"You've given us such special memories of our day, nothing can really repay you for that! Also, thanks for being an awesome human being, you were a joy on the day!"

Who Am I anyway?

Hi, I'm Chris Morse from Chris Morse Photography, but you can call me Chris for short. I live in Rhos On Sea, North Wales, with my wife (Tina), two kids (Ellie & Will), some tropical fish (unnamed) and two gerbils (Popcorn & Rocky).

I started my career in graphic design and product photography and happily did that for 10 years. Despite, my brother-in-law somehow talking me into photographing his wedding, and me then going on to photograph two other weddings - I never once considered wedding photography as an option.

However, when Tina fell pregnant with Ellie, my job at the time meant that I had to be away for weeks at a time, multiple times a year. And, with a baby on the way, I didn't want to miss a thing. So that was it, in 2014 I started my career as a wedding photographer, since then I’ve photographed almost 200 weddings and 40 surprise proposals. Now of course, I'm like "why didn't I do this from the beginning?!"

What do I do when I'm not at weddings?

When I’m up to date with editing, I’ll probably be hanging out with the family. We enjoy what we call “cobweb walks”, basically getting out in the fresh air to blow the cobwebs away, stargazing, fossil hunting or taking the kids on city breaks to escape the endless natural beauty of North Wales.

Other hobbies include: Attempting to grow stuff down the allotment, I’ve recently had a lot of success with asparagus, stinging nettles and bindweed. Watching TV, things like Severance, The Bear and Slow Horses, Colin From Accounts, Inside No. 9 and Search Party. The US Office and Schitt's Creek are basically on repeat in our house…

"Well, what can we say? Thank you so much for everything - you are so incredibly talented & an all round good guy! Everyone loved you!"
