"For us it was important to get photos that were natural and unforced." - Sammy and Jay
With over 7 years of experience shooting weddings, I'm passionate about capturing the real moments and emotions that make your day unique. As well as documenting your big day as it happens I love to spend some time doing couples portraits and some group shots but rather than the traditional approach of standing in lines and looking anxious, you can expect lots of laughs, cheering, fun in your photos!

The most amazing photographer we’ve ever met
We had the amazing pleasure of meeting Paul at a friends wedding. His incredibly relaxed and gentle manner put everybody at ease and yet His photographs are both technically exceptionally clever and artistically stunning. We Asked him to photograph our Handfasting ceremony And the photographs are absolutely precious. My brother was so impressed that he booked Paul on the night for his own wedding. Genuinely, Couldn’t have asked for a More amazing experience.

Bearded Man needed for every wedding!
Paul photographed our wedding at The start of August and he did a brilliant job. Right from booking he was really responsive and his website is easy to navigate/understand. I had done a lot of research in to local photographers and Paul's work stood out to me, loved his style. On the day of our wedding he arrived early and was a calming and (sometimes!) unseen presence around us. My partner is very photophobic but Paul was great at setting up shots and making us feel relaxed, nothing was too forced or unnatural. He was also very patient with our overtired toddler who was slightly harder work then usual! Our photos arrived just shy of 2 months later and they were beautifully presented with a Bearded Man USB stick in a muslin bag. We don't even remember seeing him for some of the shots and he captured everything beautifully. My only regret would be not booking him for longer!

La Dolce Vita! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
Knowing Paul and the work he has done over the years, I was delighted that he had availability to shoot our big day. Not only that but that he'd also agree to be dragged out to Italy for a few days to do it! Paul was across everything in the run-up to the weekend with check-ins as often as we needed them and was always keenly interested in our requests and what we wanted out of his work. Throughout the weekend he was totally present and there whenever we needed him. Keeping us calm when plans went awry with the weather or having a good laugh and striking up great rapport with ourselves and our guests. The subsequent turnaround and delivery was first rate and we could not believe just how soon after we would be able to relive our day through his amazing photography. The results were fantastic and exactly what we wanted, so many wonderful photos and memories from the across two days that Paul was shooting. Thanks again Paul!

Best day ever!
Paul is a truly talented photographer. He captured my wedding day perfectly and it was honestly like having a member of the family doing it, he made us all feel so comfortable, lots of humour thrown in to get those great natural looks. So quirky and unique, absolutely amazing! Could not have wished for anything more. Highly highlyyy recommended. 5+ stars 🌟 thank you so much Paul for giving me and my husband amazing photos we can treasure forever. Never stop snapping!! 😁

Superb Photographer - Best in the Business
We recently had the pleasure of Paul being our photographer at our wedding this year and my goodness, where do I start!?! From the first moment we made contact with Paul, he was super friendly and knowledgeable and really listened to what we would like from our photos. With so many other things to think about on our wedding day, Paul made this part so easy. He gave great ideas and advice and was fantastic with our 8 year old wild child son (particularly on the day!). All of our guests on the day equally commented on how much Paul just blended in with everyone and nobody felt under pressure to strike an awkward pose nor did anyone feel that tons of times were taken up by "formal" photos. The end result was that we had a fantastic wedding with the best photos we could ever have imagined from our special day, all delivered with some super cute treats and Bearded Man merchandise! I cannot recommend Paul highly enough! If you want the best photographer out there Paul is your guy! Thanks so much for everything Paul. Lots of Love form The Southall's x

Brilliant, understated, lovely - perfectly captured our day
Paul is the best - he shot a friend's wedding, and we saw him capture their day in a very understated, real way that we just loved. So when we got engaged, securing him was one of our first jobs we ticked off the wedmin list ! And so happy we did - he was a lovely addition to our day, capturing moments that we didn't even know we wanted and making sure we (efficiently!) got the must-have shots. We got some pictures on the evening of the day itself, incredible. Cannot recommend Paul enough. Thank you Paul!

The best day ever!
What can we say - Paul was absolutely brilliant from start to finish on our wedding day. He put us both at ease from the get go, he listened to what we wanted to capture and remember from our big day and he did it perfectly. Everyone has complemented the photos and the quality of them!! We received initial previews straight away and we didn’t have to wait long until we received our full set of photos. We couldn’t recommend him enough

Paul is AMAZING!!!
Paul is a cool guy and so lovely to work with! We’re not the biggest posers and Paul made us feel so at ease and comfortable. We were looking for a photographer who could be playful, fun and natural and Pauls style was exactly this! Totally trusted him to do his thing and we are now so in love with our photos, they are everything we dreamed of and more! You were absolutely AMAZING, Thank you!!! Katie & Ikra
