About Thomas Demol - Wedding Photographer in Manchester

MOI?

Like a good wine, I’m complex, lively and French!

I was born and bred in France, close to Calais. Growing up, I planned to get a job in education and was studying to become a Physics and Chemistry teacher when I decided to take a break to learn another language. I thought it could be useful and where better to learn than in the country itself?

WHY MANCHESTER?

An opportunity came up in Manchester and I’m still here! I was trapped (in a good way) by a British woman who is now my wife. We live in Stockport and are parents to petit Louis.

I’m a lucky guy who found a home away from home in England’s amazing North West. Not only that but I turned one of my passions into a business and career.

WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?

To earn some cash during my studies I also worked as a photojournalist for a local newspaper. I covered big, important stories like the Annual Sausage Festival in my home town. That’s THE event of the year. They really love sausages in Aire sur la Lys.

Since then I have been improving my photography skills (and equipment!) and growing my passion with a focus on wedding photography. I have an informal style and I’m a people person so I thrive at weddings when I’m surrounded by happiness and fun. Yes, I’ll blend into the background to take unobtrusive, documentary-style shots, but I’ll also mingle, chat and joke with everyone. Think of me as another guest, just one with a big camera! Putting people at ease is one of my priorities as a wedding photographer as well as providing a professional service alongside authentic, fun and relaxed wedding photographs.

"Thomas did a brilliant job photographing our wedding. He takes really natural-looking shots, and we had a great selection to pick from after our special day. He did a great job of capturing the atmosphere and reflecting the personality of our families and guests. He was also extremely friendly and professional, and lovely to work with. We can't recommend him enough."
Drew and Jonny
"Thomas worked incredibly hard to be in the right place at the right time, often without you noticing. Our package included some time during the evening reception, Thomas jumped straight in, got jostled around a bit, but ended up with some of the best photos from the dance floor."
Ayah and James
"Thomas’ photographs captured our day brilliantly - he didn’t miss a single special moment. His fly-on-the-wall style of photography meant that our wedding album has a great mix of both formal and casual shots that we will treasure for many years to come."
Dominique and Mark
"Amazing quality, capturing the best moments of the day. Thomas listens to what you want and makes sure you get the pictures you ask for. Great at capturing pictures of people having fun and enjoying the day, which you might miss as the day flies by so quickly, and they’re lovely to look back on. Would 100% recommend, thank you!"
