ABOUT ME
For the last 10 years I've been working in London predominantly in portraiture and fashion. This has allowed me to have a different vision when it comes to wedding photography, I love nothing more than to create a story through your images instead of everything being posed.
Capturing all the smaller details that make your wedding unique to you so that you can look back in years to come and paint a picture to anyone who wasn't there.
Enjoy your day, forget I'm there and you can be confident that it is all being taken care of!
FAQs
How would you best describe your style?
In essence, I don't dictate or direct but instead observe to discreetly cover events as they happen. I photograph your day as it naturally unfolds, capturing real moments and creating a timeless record of your day.

Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes, I always have at least three cameras and multiple lenses, it’s exceptionally rare that a technical issue occurs but in the event that it does, I’m covered!
Should I add a second photographer?
Second photographers are ideal for weddings where there are more than 100 guests to ensure more consistent coverage of wedding guests is achieved. Although it is not necessary it does allow for further coverage especially when multiple locations are involved. An additional photographer can easily be added to any of the options listed on the packages above. The second photographer will be sourced from one of my extensive list of photographer colleagues to ensure everything is captured to the highest level throughout the day.
How many images will we receive and do we get usage rights?
Image numbers largely depend on how much coverage you opt for in your package and whether you add a second photographer. During a typical full 10 hour wedding day (bridal preparations through to the evening), and with just me as the photographer, you will receive roughly 400 images. You are assigned full and unrestricted personal usage rights to print and share/distribute yourselves.
Do you do posed couple portraits and if so, when?
Typically I’ll spend 5 to 10 minutes with couples during the first 15 minutes of their drinks reception. My portraits are simply a bi-product of a nice walk in a pretty environment. I don’t pose couples. Instead, I want these portraits to blend seamlessly with the natural coverage. You can see examples of the sort of couple portraits I look to create in my portfolio. During the summer months, I may also take couples for a little walk later in the day during the golden hour. The best part of the day where the golden light skims across the celebrations before dipping below the horizon.
Do you offer Engagement Shoots (aka Pre Wedding Shoots)?
Yes, I do. Roughly half my couples every year decide to add an Engagement Shoot to their wedding photography package. Rest assured these shoots are very relaxed and adhere to my documentary approach. The aim of the Engagement Shoot is to allow us to get used to working together prior to the day but to also help couples overcome any fears they have of being in front of the camera.
Look through my Engagement Shoot mini-folio to see the sort of images I look to create during these 45 to 60-minute location sessions.
