Observation meets Artistry
Wedding Photography for Photography Lovers
A Passion for Art from an Early Age
From very early on my passion for art was clear. As a child I spent hours painting and drawing, using whatever I could find to bring my ideas to life. This creative spirit found a new medium when photography entered my world through my Dad, an avid amateur photographer. Through his photography books and magazines, I was captivated by the technical side of photography — understanding how light, shutter speeds, apertures, and lenses work together to create powerful images.
When I first started photographing weddings, I focused heavily on artistic portraits of the bride and groom, creating dramatic, visually stunning images. However, I quickly realized that while these portraits were striking, they didn’t fully capture the natural flow and emotion of the day.










The Evolution of my Style
Wedding photography needs to do more than just look beautiful — it should tell the true story of the day. Over the years, I evolved my style to blend my artistic roots with a documentary approach.
Now, with two decades of wedding photography experience, I immerse myself in the ebb and flow of each wedding, observing and capturing moments as they happen naturally.
My style fuses creative but natural portraiture with authentic, candid documentation, resulting in a collection of images that not only look beautiful but also hold deep meaning and emotion.
Each wedding I photograph is a blend of artistic vision and emotional storytelling, producing a timeless set of images that truly reflect the essence of your day.

Frequently (and occasionally) asked questions.

Where are you based?
I live in the town of Thornbury, slightly north of Bristol, but I shoot weddings all over the UK. Having said that, I do love to document a wedding at one of the many wonderful venues I have on my (relative) doorstep, including Thornbury Castle (a virtual stone’s thrown away) Old Down Manor, St Tewdrics House (just over the bridge in Wales) and Eastington Park (a short jaunt up the M5).
Are you insured?
Oh yes! Public liability and professional indemnity insurance are a given.
Do you do group shots?
Absolutely. Documentary wedding photography doesn’t have to mean we skip these entirely, and many of the most important guests will want, and indeed, expect them. I’m happy to shoot a handful of group shots and will ask for a list beforehand (and possibly the help of someone who can round people up) so we can get through them speedily.
How many images will we receive?
It depends on the length of the coverage, the guest count and occasionally the weather, but I usually produce between 300-500 photos, all individually finished and perfected and presented in your own private online gallery in both colour and black and white.
How do we book you?
Once you’ve been in touch to confirm my availability, a non-refundable deposit of £300 secures the date for you. This is deducted from your final balance.
Alternatively, if you’d like some time to think about it you can reserve your date for 14 days without paying anything with my Risk-Free Booking Policy.
How long will our photos take?
Images are ready 6-8 weeks after your wedding, although I will always try to have them ready sooner than this if it’s possible. If speed is important to you I have a “priority processing” package upgrade option available. Just ask me about this.
How long have you been a wedding photographer for?
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2003, so I have many thousands of hours of shooting experience under my belt. In that time I’ve seen most of what the world of weddings has to offer, from a typical English ceremony with no guests all the way through to a Pakistani extravaganza with hundreds of guests.

Do you shoot couple portraits?
Sure thing. I usually like to spend 10-15 minutes with you, the newlyweds, shortly into your drinks reception. No posing is required though. My aim is to simply capture some very natural shots of you having a walk in the picturesque environment of your wedding venue, so that the images blend seamlessly with the coverage of the rest of your day.
Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes. Although technical issues are incredibly rare (in fact it’s never happened to me) I always have at least three cameras and a selection of lenses with me, just to make sure.
Will we own the copyright?
Not exactly. Copyright always remains the property of the photographer, but you will get an unlimited license to print and share your images. You just won’t be able to modify or sell the photos as if you created them.
Does it make a difference if you haven't worked at our venue before?
Not at all. If I’ve not shot at your wedding before I’ll arrive early on the day of your wedding to familiarise myself, or if convenient I’ll drop by some other time before your big day. Either way, it won’t be even slightly detrimental to the quality of the coverage I provide.
Do we need to feed you on the day?
I would really appreciate it if you could. It’s usually a long day, and having a good meal means a lot. That said, I don’t have any special requests, so if it’s not possible, I completely understand. I can always bring a sandwich!
Do you backup the photos?
Of course, in fact I’m quite scrupulous about it. All my cameras record the images to two memory cards, so I’ll leave your wedding with two copies of every image. Back at home those images are then backed up to a hard drive which in turn backs them up to “the cloud”. In addition, I keep one set of your memory cards filed away in a fireproof box (so I use new memory cards for every wedding I shoot). Of course, the finished photos are also uploaded to your own online gallery (basically pretty cloud storage) from where you can also download and back them up for your own peace of mind.
