Wedding photography was boring. So we began with a rebellious rock n roll spirit and an ambition to reinvent wedding photography. To create documentary and artistic imag. 15 years later, we're still evolving. We're driven by our passion and creative energy. What can we bring to your day?
Our vision and imagination, our experience in the creative industries not just as photographers but actors too, a deep understanding of what it means to be human and in love, being obsessive people watchers and our off-the-wall humour.Although we operate from home, we can also be found working in our many 'offices' around Liverpool stoked on the black stuff.

We're all about celebrating this short life of ours. Our approach is to capture the colour, the diversity, the unscripted moments and the emotions. We especially love the weird and wonderful, the imperfect and super-fun couples who aren't afraid to express their individuality, to break the rules and have the wedding they want.
Thanks for taking the time to look around - we hope you're inspired. It's not an easy task choosing a photographer (there's so damn many of us). If you got this far then it's looking like we're a good match. Don't forget that wedding dates fill up very quickly, usually 1-2 years in advance so don't lose out.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Kenny and his team enough! We had to change our wedding plans due to Covid and Kenny was always so understanding, responsive and organised - it made the whole situation stress free.
On the actual wedding day, Kenny was brilliant. He put everyone at ease and the photographs are just fabulous! He had so many ideas of where to shoot around Liverpool City Centre and he made the whole experience relaxed and natural, we couldn’t be happier with the end results.
Kenny captured our intimate wedding day perfectly!

We originally booked Kenny for our wedding in July 2021, however due to Covid we brought our wedding forward for a more intimate ceremony close to home. During the entire process from the rearrangement to the wedding day, Kenny has been positive, professional, beyond helpful and was unphased by the extra 200+ miles he had to travel due to the change in location.
Even with the uncertainty that came with Covid, Kenny handled everything as if it was just a normal situation, providing us with much needed reassurance and took a huge weight off our shoulders. We are so happy to have found Kenny and

From the first time we met Kenny we felt really reassured that we would be in good hands. Nothing was too much trouble and we really enjoyed the whole process from start to finish.
On the day of wedding Kenny was really good at directing us both when required but also captured some great natural shots that you can't recreate yourself. We also really enjoyed going out the venue for some photo's, which Kenny suggested. These are some of our favorite photo's.
We also thought that the portal Kenny allows you access to in order to review the photo's is great and easy to use.
Very happy to recommend

It was a joy having raw wedding photography working during our wedding, the service was professional from the start, with pre wedding meetings and regular updates. On the day Kenny and the team were brilliant, they were inconspicuous taking natural photos of guest and really capturing the feeling of the day, and when it came to staged photos the compositions were well photographed and exciting! I would thoroughly Recommend them if you are considering booking!

When we first met Kenny, we knew we would be in safe hands. We researched his work online and after seeing the pictures on his website we loved his style. He instantly got to grips with the atmosphere and feel of what we wanted on the day, which really put us at ease. Our pre-shoot was hilarious and really fun. He has a really relaxed approach which meant we were free to do what we wanted – to enjoy spending the day with each other and with our guests.
We were more than happy letting Kenny shoot whatever was happening on the day but he wasn’t shy of stepping in to manage groups (there were

These guys are amazing. My husband and I are pretty alternative and raw just understood that in a way that other photographers didn't. They portrayed that in our photos. Our wedding pictures absolutely blew us away and our friends and family were so impressed with them! There was a great mix of organised and natural photographs that we adored. They provided two photographers which is amazing because one stayed with my husband one with me during us getting ready.

Kenny and Helen are fantastic! Nothing was too much hassle from the first time we met. They captured some amazing natural shots throughout the day, as well as the more arty ones that Kenny has an amazing eye for. They even made the most of the snow and hail stone to get some brilliant moody shots. We would highly recommend them.

When looking for our wedding photographer we wanted someone who would photograph "us" and listen to our ideas, as we didn't want cookie cutter photos to try and capture our relationship. . Then we found Raw, they were on it from the first email, they got "us".
From getting the risky shot on our e-shoot by wobbling along tiny jetty on the River Mersey to the first dance at our wedding reception, all day every photograph was perfect.
Kenny was professional, full of ideas, exciting and fun. We just forgot he was there on the day and he put us at ease from the minute we met. He listened to our ideas

Helen and Kenny were absolutely wonderful from start to finish, not just the wedding but the entire planning process end-to-end. They fit perfectly on the day and integrated seamlessly with all of our guests. We would highly recommend them for weddings, they truly enhanced the experience and whats more the photo's and album quality has been brilliant. Wonderful couple to boot.

We were very lucky to secure Kenny & Helen for our wedding in the Algarve. We first became aware of their work at our friends’ wedding, and after seeing the wedding album we knew instantly that we just had to have them photograph our wedding. We just loved the informal and relaxed style of their photography. They are both very passionate about what they do, and they are so lovely and great fun with it. We spent time the day before the wedding with Kenny & Helen visiting the ceremony and reception locations to look at ideas for photo opportunities, and this made us feel very comfortable on the
