Tim Elwood Full Description
We offer a first class relaxed photography service to our clients. Packages are available covering just a couple of hours right through to the whole day. Initial face to face meeting with a short shoot just so you can see what you think of me - after all your photographer spends a lot of time with you on your big day so you need to know you what I'm like. On the day I will shoot using a number of photographic styles ranging from the photojournalistic (fly on the wall - telling the story) to the formal (posing family groups and so on) One important aspect is that I will spend quite a bit of time shooting your guests. Many couples value this after the big day - because they actually notice how much effort friends and relations made to be there with them. I try to work quickly and efficiently with the couple on the day, so as not to keep them away from their guests for too long. Having said that ask me about my secret sign! which you can deploy and I will rescue you out of any situation!!

Excellent photos and great to work with!
Tim Elwood flew to the US to photograph our wedding and did a wonderful job! He offers an engagement shoot that everyone who has seen the photos has comments on how wonderful they are. He was great to work with, lots of fun, intentional in listening to requests but also finding good shots and backgrounds but also inconspicuous during the ceremony and other moments. We love our photos and can't wait to put them up in our house!

The best of photographers!
We recently booked Tim for our wedding in October. Tim was fabulous from the start, offering excellent packages bespoking to our needs. We had a Skype chat a few weeks before our big day, going over what was important to us. Tim is very approachable and easy to talk to. On the day Tim was absolutely fabulous. Everything we hoped for. He was excellent with our guests and took some amazing creative photos of our special day. It didn't take long to receive our chosen photography package as well as which Tim was ever so kind to send us a mini handbag album as a gift. We would recommend Tim to capture your special day to everyone. He has an excellent eye for detail and will treasure every shot. Thank you so much Tim for being fantastic!

Made to feel so comfortable
Tim was amazing ! And I’m in love with all of my photos. Before our wedding I told Tim that my partner had really bad social anxiety and was really nervous about having photos taken of him and on the day to say Tim handled it amazing is an understatement. From making us laugh to having really special moments telling him our love story. He really made us feel special and you can really see that in our photos. Thank you so much Tim for helping to make our day special and for giving us some beautiful photos so that we will never forget that day !

Simply the best
Tim is a very patient accommodating photographer. Spent 10 hours taking numerous photographs without being intrusive. Best of all we could purchase the USB containing all the photographs which meant family and friends could select their choice of photographs. We were very pleased with the service provided and would not hesitate to recommend. PS also reasonable price

Best wedding photographer!
We used Tim's photography services for our wedding in July this year. Tim was very friendly, punctual, and reliable. Tim gave us lots of ideas and directions for our wedding pictures in a fun way. And all the pictures turned out great! We are happy and lucky to have Tim as our wedding Best Regards from Steve and Ghita

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My own! - 33 years ago this year

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, Different, Sociable, Inclusive, Black and White

What about your business are you most proud of?

Creativity - giving people what they didn't know they could have

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

OK this is not business related but spend some time thinking about what life will be like AFTER the wedding day - you have the chance to make a new start as a married couple so how are you going to make it count

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

anything that is unique about the two of you - don't worry about being someone else

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Initial meeting to discuss their hopes and plans, second conversation before to finalise times, places and so on. On the day I will arrive early

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

Ones with family members - not wishing to sound morbid but life is short and the occasions when whole families get together are few and far between so the ones with everyone in become treasured memories. However I enjoy doing pictures of the couple on their own!!! no bridesmaids, groomsmen or other people in the way!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Bride in the shower as she gets ready - Ask me for the story!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

You have a decision to make - shoot it or not - pictures in the rain can look passionate and fantastic but mess the dress up big time! I'd rather just go for it often the lighting is more even because of the clouds so the overall effect can be better!

Describe how you got into photography.

Aged 6 given a 120 roll film twin lens kodak camera Never looked back (apart from taking pictures)
