About Me
This is me, being thrown in the air. Yeah that was fun! Herefordshire is my home county, but my work has taken me far and wide in the world.
Latest feedback – Simply amazing! We are so chuffed with our wedding photos! Not only a fantastic photographer but great to have around on the big day! Very calming and knowledgeable about how the day runs! I felt in very safe hands! Highly recommend!!
Hi,
I’m a Herefordshire-based wedding photographer who lives for the real, unfiltered moments — the chaos, the connection, the absolute joy. I’m not here to pose you like mannequins or chase some Pinterest-perfect version of your day. I’m here to capture your wedding — the way it actually felt.
Think less stiff portraits, more raw energy. The messy laughs. The tear-streaked speeches. The big hugs, stolen glances, and dance floor carnage. The stuff that actually matters.
The real stuff. The belly laughs, the happy tears, the ridiculous dance moves and the quiet little moments you didn’t even realise were happening. That’s what I love to capture — the raw, unpolished magic of a wedding day, exactly as it unfolds.
My style is documentary meets editorial — candid, cinematic, and full of life. If you’re planning a day that’s more about fun than formality, more about people than perfection, and you want photos that tell the real story — then we’re probably a great fit.
Let’s ditch the awkward and make something unforgettable.

My style means that you get to enjoy your day.
OBSERVING
LISTENING
REACTING
Candid photography is the main element of my work. No cheese, no forced shots, just relaxed and natural and this includes your portrait sessions too. I spend the day watching, listening and capturing the natural moments.
I do take some group photos, but I would rather provide you with pictures that are natural and show the story of your day.
Who am I outside of photography?
A person that loves a night out, keeps himself fit and healthy and someone that loves meeting new people!
I have two dogs, Hugo, a Labradoodle and Honey, a dog of some sort. Walking these two is one of my favourite things to do. Sometimes I think about the amount of beautiful sunrises and sunsets that I would have missed if it wasn’t for these two, then again, I also think about the amount of times I wouldn’t have got wet.
To relax I do the usual, listen to music, watch films or sleep, sometimes all three at the same time too (talented I know)
I play guitar, electric and acoustic. I used to play in a band, not a famous one unfortunately, unless you class playing in pubs and small festivals as famous?
My approach to your wedding day
I will provide you with images that are not stuffy and boring but a true reflection of your day. Your gallery will show you the great times you remember as well as the little moments you don’t. I look and listen throughout your day, searching for the things that make a wedding great. My style won’t dictate your day or over pose you but it will keep it real and allow you to enjoy the moment. Your photographs will stir emotions so that you not only see how you looked but you will also see how you were feeling too.
FAQ’s
- Do you supply albums? – Albums are available to add to your package and are highly recommended.
- Have you ever shot a wedding at our venue before? – I kind of get why you ask but honestly, it isn’t a must. My photography is about your day and every wedding is different. I cover weddings all over the UK and beyond having never visited the venues before, the pics are still awesome!
- How long before we see our pictures? – Your final gallery can take up to 8 weeks max, but you will get a sneak peek within a couple of days of your wedding too.
- Can we meet you before booking? Yes you can, either in person at my office or via FaceTime / WhatsApp etc.
- How many pictures do we receive? In all honesty, it depends on your wedding but a minimum from a full day would be 550. If you have lots going on at your wedding, you can expect a lot more pictures.
- How do we book you? – To secure your date requires a signed contract and booking fee. Once both are complete, you will receive email confirmation of your booking. Your remaining balance will be due 6 weeks before your wedding date.
