Having photographed a lot of weddings over the last 15 years, you’ll usually find me in the thick of the action and one step ahead as events unfold.

For most of the day, we work candidly—it’s your wedding, not my photo shoot! However, we’ll take the lead and position you and your guests when it comes to group photographs and more formal portraits.

When we take you both away for some couple portraits, we keep everything light-hearted and fun. We also appreciate that this is often the first part of the day when you’ve had time together away from your guests, and you’ll probably be keen to exchange notes!

It’s those natural interactions that we want to capture. Much of the time, you won’t even realise you’re being photographed or filmed. We’ll position you when necessary and offer gentle guidance to make the most of the composition and available light.

I’ve learnt how to light almost any situation, and there is rarely a backdrop I can’t make the most of using remote flash systems and professional video lighting. In fact, the more challenging the weather and light become, the more creative I tend to get.

With a little luck, we’ll also have a beautiful sunset in the evening and can take you back outside for a few more of those signature WOW photographs.

I’m based on the Nottinghamshire–Derbyshire border, close to Junction 26 of the M1. I cover weddings throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, travelling as far south as Northampton.

I may offer adjusted pricing for particularly local weddings—every little helps with the price of fuel!

We also cover weddings much farther afield. Depending on the distance and travel time involved, this may require an overnight stay close to the venue before your wedding. This reduces the risk of unexpected travel delays because I don’t want to miss a minute of your day.

During peak wedding season, your completed photographs and films will normally be delivered within six to eight weeks. However, because every wedding is individually edited and our combined photography and videography packages involve considerably more post-production, please allow up to 12 weeks during especially busy periods.

Outside peak season, delivery may be considerably quicker.

Popular weekend dates are often booked 12–18 months in advance, so I recommend getting in touch as soon as you have confirmed your date and venue.

Every wedding is different in terms of its size, number of guests, locations and schedule, but I normally deliver a minimum of approximately 400 fully edited photographs.

Larger or especially eventful weddings can result in considerably more. I’ve delivered more than 1,000 photographs from weddings featuring additional entertainment such as singing waiters, fire performers and other live performances.
