My Approach
I’m a Documentary Wedding Photographer
I’ll be taking natural photos of you, your wedding guests, and all the little details without interfering or barking orders around at people.
I’m more than happy to do some family shots as well as a few chilled-out portraits of you guys of course, these are very quick and relaxed.
To put it in the most simple way my goal at your wedding is to be there all day, photograph from start to finish, and give you a collection of honest and real photographs of what actually happens on your special day.

This means you get to spend your day with your friends and family, without having to pose for hours on end for photos.
Here’s how I photograph a wedding…
Letting you have those moments…
I’m like a fly on the wall at your wedding, my job is to be there to document it, and not create moments.
So I’ll let things happen as they happen which means you can focus on enjoying the day.
Wedding days go by in a flash and the last thing I want to do is take you away from your friends and family.
The biggest compliment I get at a wedding is at the end of the night and the couple says ‘We hardly noticed you all day’.
Working quickly, but thoughtfully…
Of course, I’ll still do group and couples portraits, but I like to do these in a quick and relaxed way.
For group shots, I recommend about 6, which should take 10 minutes.
The best time to do couples portraits is just as your guests are making their way in for dinner, that way we can grab some shots while you wait for them all to be seated.
Working this way means you don’t have to be away from your guests for hours on end.
Details help tell the story…
Wedding days are not only made up of lovely people but also the thoughtful details that go into making your day special.
I’ll photograph all the details of the day, these help tell your story and I know how much time and effort goes into making a wedding look stunning.
There’s also a good chance that on the day you won’t get a spare moment to take in the details and table settings, but you will have them in the photos to look back on.
Telling the story how it actually happens…
I’m most happy when photographing moments as they happen, even if they aren’t ‘perfect’ wedding photos.
So, if that means getting dance floor photos like this, if it’s fun and tells your story then they will be in your gallery.
