Weddings + Elopements
Calm wedding photography for incredible couples!
Together we'll tell the full story of your wedding day from the nerves and excitement of getting ready right through to the peak of your evening celebrations
Not sure what to expect?
That’s ok, that’s what I’m here for.
Together we’ll put together a plan for your day. Almost all of the photographs that I’ll capture will be candid and you’re barely even notice I’m there. I’ll blend in to the background and I’ll be focussing on capturing memories of all the incredible and spontaneous moments that will occur naturally throughout your wedding day.
If you’d like them then we'll take the super important family group photos, these are always great to have but we’ll try to make the process of coralling big groups of your friends and family as quick and as painless as possible. After all we want to get you to back to the celebrations as quickly as possible.
After your ceremony, I'll steal you away for 20 minutes or so to give the two of you a bit of time together, your first as a married couple. These are my favourite photographs and the only direction I'll give to you is to pretend I'm not there, to relax and enjoy this incredible moment of calm together.
In the evening, you’ll not be calling it a day after your first dance and so neither will I!
Unlike most photographers I wont pack up and head out after your first dance, instead I like to take more photos of the dancing/party than the morning ‘getting ready’ and so I’ll be sticking around for a good while.
Getting involved on the dance floor, and capturing happy faces, sweaty brows and arms in the air having the best night ever!
Your adventure awaits…
For couples who want incredible photos but hate having their photo taken!

A wedding album you might not want, but have to pay for because it’s in my big package.
Ok, I realise that’s a bit of a twatty way to illustrate my point, but you get the idea?
Your wedding wont be the same as someone else’s and what you want wont be the same either.
Some people want a wedding album waiting for them after their wedding, others want to create their own, some couples want lots of photos of their hair and make up prep, others don’t, some coupoles need more than 8 hours photographed, others don’t.
So quite rightly, no two packages are the same.
Instead let’s create the perfect package for you together.
Looking for a quick price and not fussed about making a connection with your photographer? I'm probably not your guy.
But if you're searching for a photographer who wants to really get to know you both, who's invested in your story, eager to hear about your first date, your adventures together, and what you love about each other, then I'm probably your guy.
FAQs
-
Yes, I love to travel.
I include all travel costs in my quotes. So that there are no extra costs for you to worry about.
I also love a destination wedding, so get in touch with your plans, often I'll try to bookend a little city break/holiday on to your foreign holiday plans to help keep any travel costs down for you. It's a win win for both of us.
-
In the first few days after your wedding day I send over a couple of sneak peek photos.
After that, I choose the best photographs to tell the full story of your wedding day, edit those in my unique style and have your full gallery over to you in 8-10 weeks.
Sometimes these timings can be slightly different based on time of year but I’ll highlight this on your quote before you book.
If you need your photographs sooner than this, then we can talk about making this possible.
-
Absolutely not, I won't be packing up after your first dance. I've been to enough weddings to know that that's when some of the best moments happen. I won't stay until midnight taking photos of that one uni friend, with his tie round his head, hugging your uncle and telling him that 'he's actually a decent bloke for an accountant' but I'll stay until the peak of the party to capture that wonderful chaos that always happens
-
Every wedding I photograph is completely unique.
Each wedding involves different timings, different amounts of travel, different important moments captured and different approaches to the day itself as well as different approaches to shooting and to the editing after the wedding too.
By finding out in advance your plans and ideas I can put together one simple quote for you, instead of a tonne of packages to choose from and lots of different add on options too.
-
Unlike some photographers, I don’t demand a meal at your wedding day. I know how expensive wedding food is and am happy to either go off to find my own food or to bring my own with me.
It’s worth saying that a lot of venues do offer either free or discounted supplier meals and a hot meal during what is usually a very long day is always appreciated .
Also, if a meal is provided at the venue it means that I’m on site should anything exciting and unexpected happen during. I can quickly throw on my cameras, and capture the spontaneous moments at a moments notice.
-
Normally I like to use the meal time to sit out of the way and start backing up your photographs.
I like to have a look through the photos that we’ve captured together and start to put together some sneak peak photographs for you too.
However, I also love getting involved in your wedding day and am more than happy to sit at a guests table and chat the breeze too.
(Be warned…I will try to find out your secrets and embarrassing stories from your grandparents or from your oldest friends)
-
I do, it’s not something that I think is necessary but I can certainly add one on for you.
It can be a really fun way for us to get to know each other better and for the two of you to practice being in front of the camera too.
If you’re up for it, we’ll pick somewhere special to you both. Go on a wee adventure, and capture really natural and relaxed photos of the two of you together.
