I’m John — a Liverpool-based documentary wedding photographer, shooting weddings across the North West.

Sub Rosa is a really unique space for a wedding. Tucked away in the Baltic Triangle with a much more intimate, informal feel than traditional venues. It’s perfect for couples who want something a bit more personal and less structured, with the focus on the people and the atmosphere rather than formality.

Weddings at Sub Rosa often feel more like a gathering than a traditional wedding day, with ceremonies taking place at nearby venues like Liverpool Town Hall. That creates a really natural flow, where things move at their own pace and there’s plenty of time for relaxed moments with friends and family.

My approach

What a wedding feels like at Sub Rosa

There’s a really easy, social energy to weddings at Sub Rosa. Things to be less formal and more about spending time with the people you care about. The space itself has loads of character, and because everything is close together, nothing ever feels rushed or over-structured.

I approach days here in a very natural, documentary way, blending into what’s happening and capturing it as it unfolds. That means focusing on real moments rather than staging things.

  • Patient, and friendly, and blended in like he was one of the guests.

  • Emotions came and went like a flash but he captured them perfectly.

  • Looking though the photos brought back all the emotions of the day.
