My ethos is simple really - get stuck in, work hard and have fun.

I’ve shot over 185 weddings in the last 10 years so I think it’s fair to say I know what to expect, and how to capture your day in the best possible way.

I’ve pinned button holes, made tea, produced emergency scissors, grooved to bridal-prep playlists, carried veils, transported wedding dresses, provided tissues and just generally got involved with whatever needs doing.

MY STYLE IS BOLD, FUN AND RELAXED WITH A DOSE OF EMOTIONAL DOCUMENTARY THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE.

How I work

  • The Morning - We work out how best to use the hours that you’ve booked, whether we have the whole day from start to finish or skip the prep and focus on the party. When I’m there in the morning, I’m much less interested in the dress hung up and much more interested in the little squeezes of nerves between you and your getting-ready-gang. And I always make sure I get some shots of the venue and all your hard work you’ve put into decorating it.

  • Ceremony Time – I choose the best spot at the front and stay there, shooting on two cameras to get different angles and make sure I am absolutely not a distraction to anyone. I’ll move about after to make sure I get that wonderful just married down the aisle shot though!

  • Drinks & Nibbles – Mostly in the reception I am sleuthing about capturing spontaneous moments, big hugs and lots of smiles. During this time we’ll do some quick family photos and we’ll sneak off to do some couple photos in a pretty spot I scoped out earlier.

  • Speeches – I mostly focus on the speakers and also reaction shots of your guests laughing / crying / cringing. After the meal I’ll usually have a hunt and find another lovely spot for you to come for a breather together and I can get some candid couple shots of you revelling in how it’s all gone so far. 

  • The Dancing – whether you’re doing a choreographed routine or an awkward shuffle I make sure I get the first dance, and then of course the bit straight after where people flood the dance floor in couples. After this I make sure I am snapping away at all the embarrassing dad dancing and providing much blackmail material for the future for you.

What I do

  • make you feel comfortable around me so you can be yourselves

  • get the killer shots, like being showered in confetti grinning like idiots

  • look for quiet, thoughtful and reflective moments amongst the chaos of the day

  • seek the little moments like hand squeezes and emotional looks

  • Give it my all with a big smile on my face

What I don’t do

  • rigid ‘trendy’ couple poses you see on Pinterest

  • 3 hour long family formal sessions

  • make a bossy nuisance of myself throughout the day

  • spend ages photographing dresses / shoes / invites /

  • massive amounts of photoshop and garish editing

I’m proud to photograph everyone & anyone.
