Who we are
Hello! We’re Amy + Gregory 👋
We’re the couple behind Pause Creative Studios - a creative space built with love in the heart of Macclesfield.
Not only are we partners in life, but also in business (and parenting!). With a lively toddler keeping us on our toes, we felt inspired to create a space that encourages slowing down, having fun and making meaningful memories together.
Amy was born and raised in Macclesfield, and later met Gregory at university. Since then, we’ve shared a passion for creativity and dreamed of building something for the community that feels inclusive, inspiring and accessible.
Pause Creative Studios grew from that dream: a place where creativity is affordable, relaxed, and open to everyone. Whether you’re here for a self-portrait session, to shoot content, to work, or to celebrate something special, our studio is designed with flexibility, comfort and creative freedom in mind.
At Pause Creative Studios, we invite you to press pause, create and connect.
