Experience
What is your photography style?
Documentary and natural. I work quietly in the background, capturing your day as it unfolds without interrupting or directing. I'm interested in real moments — the glances, the laughter, the tears people don't notice they're having. After nearly 250 weddings I still find the whole thing genuinely moving.
How many weddings do you shoot per year?
I keep my numbers deliberately limited - usually around 15-20 weddings a year. This means every wedding gets my full attention and energy, and I'm never burnt out or going through the motions.
When will we receive our photos?
Typically within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day. You'll receive a private online gallery with full resolution images and unlimited printing rights — yours to keep forever.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. I'm based in London but shoot across the UK and internationally. Some of my favourite weddings have been in France, Italy and further afield. Travel costs are discussed at enquiry stage.
How would you describe yourself as a photographer to work with?
Calm, unobtrusive and genuinely invested in your day. Most of my couples tell me afterwards they barely noticed I was there — which is exactly how I like it. I aim to feel like a friend with a camera rather than a vendor doing a job.
