Capturing the day, not controlling it!
My approach to weddings as a Derbyshire wedding photographer is rooted in storytelling, documenting your day as it naturally unfolds, with as little interference as I can possibly get away with. When you look through your photos, I want you to remember each moment and how you felt, not the photographer who kept asking you to move three inches to the left for better light or insisted on 17 different ways to hold a bouquet!
Roughly 90% of what I capture is completely candid. Real moments, raw emotion, and the genuine atmosphere of your wedding day. Aside from a short round of family formals (only if you want them!) and a relaxed, gently guided couple’s portrait session that can take as little as 10 minutes (again—if you want to), my goal is to keep you present with your people.
This is your wedding day, not a photoshoot, and I’m here to capture it truthfully, beautifully, and unobtrusively.
Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
A wedding I shot in Cyprus. It was so hot that when I wasn't taking a photo I had to shield my gear from the sun with my body! Phew!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, candid, reportage, documentary, unobtrusive.
What about your business are you most proud of?
The flexibility. Planning a wedding can be a stressful time and I believe that it's not just my job to document your day but also to make life as simple as possible. That's why I am completely flexible with your day - No two days are the same
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Start planning early! Don't sweat the small stuff.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One couple had their guests write their favourite song on the RSVP. When it got to the wedding, all of their guests favourite songs featured in the playlist for the evening.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
From the initial enquiry we organise a zoom call (other platforms are available!) to make sure that we are the right fit for one another and you can ask any questions you might have.
From here, if you decide to book I'll give you a contract to sign and ask for the deposit within 28 days to secure the booking. Then relax! Many couples book me a year or two in advance so if you have any questions that pop up in this time, please just send me a message.
A few weeks before the wedding I'll drop you an email with a link to my pre-wedding questionnaire just to make sure no details have changed and for a few bits of extra info I'll need to make sure your day is as seamless as can be.
And then the best day of your life!
After the wedding day, you'll receive a sneak peek of roughly 100 photos within 48 hours with the rest of the photos within the next 4-6 weeks. You'll then be sent a link to your private, password protected online gallery and they're yours to love, share, remember and enjoy!
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
Honestly, there isn't one. Every wedding day is different, so there isn't a standard one fits all shot!
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
My style of photography is candid, so most of my couples just enjoy the day and I hope that my natural photo's capture those moments that can be so quick to miss!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
A Sun dance! (But don't worry, I always carry a spare umbrella and all my gear is weather-sealed)
Describe how you got into photography.
I have always loved taking photographs of people, drawn in by the expressions, emotions and individualism of each subject. So what better day to document than the happiest day of your life. The thing that makes weddings in particular so enthralling to me is that you can learn the ins and outs of a wedding but no two couples are the same. No two loves are the same. And so no two days are the same.
