Best photographer we could have asked for!
Christian was our photographer for our wedding in July. He was amazing from the start, welcoming us into his home and studio, even showing us round his beautiful garden. He made us so comfortable and welcomed. Christian met with us weeks before the wedding to go through the details and the important bits that we wanted captured throughout the day. On the day, he was great at giving us pointers, encouraging us to enjoy the little moments, ensuring we captured all the important photos, whilst keeping things relaxed and going with the flow of the day. He always made himself available for unplanned photos and made us feel able to ask for help when needed. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to celebrate this day with us, and capture such beautiful photos. We asked for bright and candid photos, and that's exactly what we got! Thank you so much again Christian, it meant the world to us!

We could see how invested and passionate you were
We knew from the moment we met you, that you were the photographer for us! We could see how invested and passionate you were about what you do, and we got on from the very first conversation. Christian had regular contact with us from the point of booking, ensuring he knew everything he needed to about us and our vision to capture exactly what we wanted. On the day, Christian was so professional and friendly. He went above and beyond, got himself into some weird and (see pic for the rest!)

It is a pleasure to work closely with Christian
We have had the pleasure of working with this phenomenal photographer here at Newark Town Hall. With standards as high as our own, I don’t hesitate to recommend him to couples looking for their wedding day photographer to capture their special day. It is a pleasure to work closely with Christian and I wouldn’t think twice about booking him if I were a bride to be!

All of our photos were fantastic
Christian did an amazing job at our wedding, he was recommended through a friend and now we’re highly recommending him to anyone needing a photographer. All of our photos were fantastic and he goes to the next level in getting the photos you require, for us that included laying in mud on a damp day to get the right picture, nothing is to much trouble. A 5 star service from a 5 star guy ...

Throughout the day, he went the extra mile
We are so pleased that we chose Christian to be our photographer. He understood what we were looking for, and also added in great suggestions that we wouldn't have thought of. He captured the day amazingly and had a great manner with us and all of the guests. Throughout the day, he went the extra mile, even helping me with my wedding dress train so I could get into the car! Thank you so much. Clare and Tom

So many guests mentioned to us how lovely he was!
Christian was our photographer for our wedding in September and he did an absolutely amazing job! He was there from the very beginning of the day and stayed right into the evening, getting some really fun photos of the dancing, too. So many of our guests mentioned to us how lovely Christian was, and now that we've got our wedding photos back, we're absolutely thrilled with how they turned out. Thank you Christian for being a part of our special day!

He was so warm and at ease he felt like a guest!
Christian did an amazing job photographing our wedding! He blended in with family and friends at the house in the morning and captured some lovely candid moments (as well as some shots of our reclusive cat). We wanted our photos to feel green and he ran with this brief with a wonderful set of portraits in the forest next to our venue. He was so warm and at ease he almost felt like a guest! Thank you again, Mark & Ella

We’re absolutely delighted with his photos
I can’t recommend Christian highly enough. Right from the start of our communication Christian was absolutely brilliant, his attention to detail was amazing and he kept in touch regularly to make sure he knew what we all wanted. One of the most special things on the wedding day was that he made everyone feel so at ease and comfortable which made all the photographs even more relaxed which is just what we wanted. We’re absolutely delighted with his photos and he’s captured the whole day perfectly

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

To be perfectly honest, there are so many weddings that are memorable and each one is special so I wouldn't single one out against another.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Creative, dramatic, stylish, documentary, colourful

What about your business are you most proud of?

My relationship with my wedding couples

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Keep it simple. Enjoy the process.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I really enjoy meeting my couples before the wedding so that we get to know each other. Then, a few weeks before the big day we have a recap call to go over the details of the day, things like timings and any special requests. Once we've enjoyed the wedding day, I create the gallery which tells the story of the day and then send it to the happy couple. The gallery is password protected and photographs are downloaded from there!

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Tough question! I always think that we should spend a few minutes with some portraits.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas! Get brollies and then enjoy! Photographs look great inside anyway and when it gets darker, we can create the famous umbrella shot (see my website for examples)

Describe how you got into photography.

Many years ago, I saw a distant wild barn owl. I thought, 'I have to get a shot of that!' The obsession began...
