Wedding Photographer Captures Real Moments and Natural Portraits

I live in Cheddington in Buckinghamshire together with my wife, Katie, our two little rascals, Oliver and Lucy, and our cat, Mylo. I started wedding photography ten years ago, and so far, I’ve been lucky enough to photograph over 150 weddings across the UK. My photography career hasn’t just been about weddings though. I have been involved in sports photography with highlights including photographing muddy OCR races and the GB Basketball team in the Copper Box Arena in the Olympic Park in London. I also have been involved in gig photography with my highlight photographing my favourite band, Biffy Clyro, live on several occasions. My wedding photography is a product of the skills I developed, capturing sports and gigs. I look to capture all the action, fun, laughter and love of your big day so you can look back and treasure every single moment. My favourite parts of the wedding day are capturing the first few minutes after the ceremony when everyone congratulates the bride and groom. I love a good hug photo!
