Who I am
I’m an enthusiastic (code for messy) cook, muddy dog walker and proud family man. If I’m not paddle boarding along the Thames, you’ll find me goofing around with my kids or dancing along to my favourite country music. I bring that same friendly energy and confidence to my work. If you want to see more of my adventures and images give me a follow on Instagram
How I work
I pride myself on my relaxed approach, friendly attitude and simplistic style. My aim is to capture a natural and honest record of your day that reflects the character of your wedding. I deliver authentic, natural photography of lovely people, on great days, having an awesome time. I’m happy to make suggestions for how we can integrate photography into your day, particularly ways to keep it light hearted and fun. But I’ll be led by you and how you want your day to be remembered. Ultimately I’m capturing your photos so I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to tailor what I shoot to suit you. But don’t just take my word for it. My couples can explain what I do and how I delivered it far more eloquently than I can so head to my testimonials page (all genuine I promise) to hear directly from them. Thanks to their kind feedback there are a few themes to my approach which re-occur so I hope these can give you a little more insight into how I work.

Let’s break this down. Here’s what you’ll get from me
Bags of enthusiasm and energy. It’s a long day and I’m good to go from breakfast bubbles to dance floor fillers.
Confidence. I’ve got experience in this, if it works for you then I’m happy to take the lead. We’ll organise a plan ahead of time and I’m more than happy to communicate with everyone on the day to make it happen.
Natural and authentic imagery. Focusing on the types of images you want, not simply what I’ve produced previously. I want to capture imagery that’s representative of who you are.
Personal approach. I’m pretty good at remembering names which helps me get those large bridal parties together and keeps the younger ones engaged too.
Conscientious and calm. I’m not going to bark orders. I’d much rather take an extra minute to arrange people rather than shout out. I’m also not going to rush anyone. It’s your day and I’m working to your schedule not the other way around.
Family friendly. I love having kids at weddings and the little ones seem to like me, maybe it’s the hat? I like to get them involved which usually includes getting them working for me taking a few snaps. Also if you have a dog then good luck because I’m going to spend most of my time with them!
Scamp. She’s my partner in crime but has zero loyalty. She’ll love you to death a soon as you walk through the door. All of my couples get vetted by her when they come round for a coffee. She’s a great judge of character and loves a belly rub.
