Photography
For everything you felt.
And everything you missed.
A photograph holds one second still long enough for you to look properly. Your dad's hand on your back. The bridesmaid who went first. Your face when you didn't know anyone was looking. Documentary at heart, editorial when it counts, and nobody barking orders across the lawn.
The whole day
Morning to the last dance.
Morning
Before anyone is dressed for it.
Ceremony
No flash, no wandering into the aisle.
The two of you
Twenty minutes, not two hours.
Your people
The ones who got you here.
The room
Before the guests walk in.
The party
When the shoes come off.
The still frame
One second you can stay in.
A wedding goes by in a blur. A photograph lets you stop inside it: your grandad's hand on the back of a chair, the guest laughing harder than anyone at the joke, the moment you both exhaled after the vows. That's what I'm looking for all day. Not the pose. The second either side of it.
When you want help with portraits, you'll get it, kindly and quickly. The rest of the time I'm watching, waiting, and keeping out of your way.
“…every glance, smile, and detail is captured so beautifully that we feel like we're seeing our day all over again through your eyes.”
From a couple's message
More days.
More weddings.
A few weddings from the archive. Different places, different people, and plenty of reasons to stay a little longer.
Where I work
A Cotswolds wedding photographer, at home anywhere.
I'm based in the Cotswolds and photograph weddings across Gloucestershire, London and further afield, including Wales. The place changes. The way I work with people doesn't.
The day, as it actually happens.
- Morning
Prep, nerves, your mum's face when she sees the dress. I'm already there, already working, already part of the furniture.
- Ceremony
No flash, no wandering into the aisle. You won't know where I am. The photographs will show you exactly where I was.
- Portraits
Twenty minutes, not two hours. You get a walk together and a breather. The pictures happen on the way.
- Speeches
The best man sweating. Your dad's third attempt at not crying. This is where weddings are won.
- Dancefloor
Your first dance, then the half hour after it, when the shoes come off and your uncle finds his moves.
What you're left with.
- The day
Preparations through to 30 minutes after your first dance. The quiet bits as well as the loud ones.
- Your gallery
Your high-resolution photographs in a personal gallery, ready to download and share with everyone who was there, and everyone who wishes they had been.
- From above
Aerial photographs of the venue and your people, if you'd like them and the weather plays along.
- Bigger days
A second photographer when the guest list or the venue calls for one, so the other room is covered too.
“Wedding meets editorial. A healthy balance between natural and posed, with a whole lot of cool sprinkled on it.”

I also make films, and I can shoot both at once.
Only want a photographer?
That suits me fine.
