My Approach
Could this be you?
You love those natural, candid moments at a wedding
You don’t want your wedding day dictated by a bossy photographer
You might not even really like your picture being taken….
Relax… you’ve come to the right place…
Every wedding day is unique… but it’s so much more than a procession of staged images. I’ve developed a style that I call natural & candid storytelling wedding day photography, and it goes down really well with my couples.
Some posed images are of course important, as are all the traditional and formal elements of the day, but they alone won’t convey the true story of your wedding day. Natural, candid, relaxed moments however, will form an honest record… forever. The emotion and laughter, the atmosphere and surroundings; they are the unique memories that you just can’t contrive, and I’ll capture them all for you. I will leave you a lasting record for your family history. Long after the wedding day, you’ll be able to stop, rewind time and re-live the story of your day.
I want to give my couples the best attention and service, and for this reason I only take-on a set number of weddings each year. Some key dates always get booked quickly, so to avoid disappointment please get in touch as soon as possible.
FAQs
We’re really awkward having our picture taken, will this be a problem?
Not the way that I work. Most of what I do is natural and candid, and for the posed elements I’ll make you feel comfortable and confident.
What sort of wedding photographer are you? Are you loud and bossy like the guy who shot my friends wedding?!
No! I’m calm and unobtrusive. Please see some of the comments on my “praise” page, previous clients always often comment on my calm nature.
Are you going to look smart at our wedding?!
Yes of course, I’m suited so that I can blend in with the guests.
Can we meet you to discuss our plans?
I’d love that to happen.
Have you shot weddings at our venue before?
Maybe? It really isn’t a critical factor though. I’ve shot hundreds of weddings now, and with the variety in weddings (venues/people/weather etc) you have to think on your feet.
Every wedding is unique and I try and show that; I don’t want your wedding to look exactly like the last five covered at your venue.
Do you have insurance?
Absolutely. public Liability and Professional Indemnity.
What will we do if you’re ill on the day?
Relax and carry-on regardless. I have lots of experienced friends in the business who I would contact first before turning to the bigger pool of emergency cover photographers that exist online.
Can we print the digital files that you give us?
Yes, you can. Your receive all of the proof images in watermark-free, high-res digital format ready for you to print/share as desired.

Albums
What’s the best way of guaranteeing that you’ll be able to look back at your wedding photographs in decades to come? Technology changes so quickly doesn’t it. The only proven way of preserving your day, is by having a professionally produced wedding album… and it will become a tangible heirloom that you can safely pass on to future generations.
Yes, after the wedding day you’ll have all of your digital files and there are many ways that you can make your own albums online… but will you get around to it? Wouldn’t it be better to have your album professionally designed and supplied by me? My albums are produced here in the UK and are of a quality that can’t be replicated by consumer driven online suppliers. These professionally produced albums are supplied with lifetime guarantees, and come with an unrivalled number of print and cover design options.
Please see the examples below, all of which are available to view.
