My preference is to capture my couples with natural and elegant photography, not overly staged, nor overly edited. In essence to mirror your real memories as if time truly stood still. Equally I’m still a strong believer in capturing a series of more formal / posed couple and family/group photographs to take pride of place in your wedding album or be placed, framed or mounted on the wall.
I like to think of my style as ‘adaptable and dynamic’, adjusting myself and my photography to your requirements. Whether discreetly capturing your stunning images in stealth mode, or taking charge mode to manage a lively group.

ManaGEMENT & on the Day
Every couple is different, some like me to take charge of planning their wedding photography style, managing the various images captured on the day as I choose and are quite relaxed in the editing process, whereas some couples are the complete opposite with very clear views, styles, and scenes they wish for me to capture. I’m more than happy to be either-or and can dance somewhere in the middle if needed.
On the Big Day, most couples like a happy medium, from discreetly moving about largely unseen, with only a little gentle steering of the family/group for main photographs, to full ‘crowd management’ mode, moving people around effectively without making anyone feel bossed about or herded. I’m quite relaxed in either mode and occasionally I’ll have to take charge to make sure you get the photographs you requested using my experience.
How I Affect My Style
My wedding photography style really comes from two main sources, my character and creativity, then the years of experience I have amassed, so to give more of an indication to my style I’ll briefly talk about both.
How best to describe myself? I’m friendly, bubbly and light hearted, oh and very easy going, which my couples often mention is calming and reassuring with a quiet confidence, prompting a relaxed approach to planning, changing things and/or adapting at short notice, in the moment. I.e. I’m quite happy to adapt as you need or as the day pans out. I also have fun or a good giggle with my couples in the process and their family, whilst we get on capturing your photographs, after all its your wedding day and it should be fun and romantic.
Experience is easy to describe. I’m working on 6-12+ weddings per month at venues across the Midlands and the UK, which means I get to see it all, and I deal with all sorts of strange and wonderful circumstances, from alcohol induced chaos (it happens), to missing people, to schedules that have gone astray, to power cuts, or dealing with energetic and challenging crowds, even cake topples and dance floor stories. I’ve captured photography in bright sunshine and then in the blink of eye heavy rain, and to capturing couples or family members that are shy, to lively guests full of beans. You name it I’ve seen it or experienced it, which is a good thing, as I’m used to it, taking it in my stride, in my usual happy go with the flow smiley way.
Book & Secure Your Date
I am a popular wedding photographer, so I do have multiple bookings in any given month, often in the same week or on the same weekend, so it’s important I get your day secured early. You can do this by selecting your package and paying a non-refundable deposit of 25%. Most couples book early in their planning stage to secure my services, approximately 6-18months before their Big Day. Albeit not uncommon to last minute bookings depending on what is still available and even couples securing my services 2 years in advance.
Consultation Session
Come and enjoy a consultation session with me to discuss your requirements and the logistics of your Big Day, this can be in person at my home studio or via video link if more convenient. These relaxed sessions will give us the chance to get to know each other better and learn what you are looking for and any products you want to consider.
We’ll also discuss your budget, how many guests are attending, venue specifics (if you know the venue), your preferred wedding photography style, the plan for the day and much more. As a popular wedding photographer, I have worked with most of the Professional Planners in the area and I’m happy to liaise with them for you.
My Wedding Photography Packages
I try to keep my pricing simple, with packages designed to cater for varying requirements. On the day, it is not uncommon to be requested to stay on for additional time on my hourly rate, which I will always try to accommodate as best as I can.
