Here's something you should probably know about me: I'm terrible in front of a camera. Genuinely uncomfortable. Which, as it turns out, makes me pretty good at this job.
After 15 years of photographing weddings, I've got one rule: you should never feel like you're being photographed. No stiff poses, no "chin down, eyes here", no one herding you into formation for twenty minutes while your drink goes warm. Just someone quietly getting on with it in the background, camera in hand, watching for the good stuff.
That good stuff? It's the burst of laughter during the vows that nobody saw coming. The moment you clock each other across a crowded room. The complete chaos of the dance floor at 10pm. The in-between moments that actually tell the story of your day, not just what it looked like.
I'm based in Derby and cover weddings across Derbyshire and the wider Midlands, though I'll go wherever the day takes me. The approach doesn't change: document everything honestly, stay out of the way, and make sure you forget I'm even there.
If you'd rather spend your wedding day actually enjoying it than performing for a camera, I think we'll get on well.

Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding of recent years was one which I traveled over to Normandy in France for. I spent the weekend there in a beautiful French village. It was so lovely hanging out with the couple and their guests for a while before and after the wedding.

Natural, relaxed, fun, genuine, timeless
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm proud of the number of happy memories that me and my camera have captured for people over the years. The great thing about weddings is that there is so much going on as well as the wedding ceremony. Parents playing with their young kids, cousins who haven't seen each other for years, old school friends meeting up again...the list goes on.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
I'm biased, but booking a wedding photographer who you feel can capture your day in a way that suits you is such an important thing. Your wedding photos will be something that you treasure for the rest of your life.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
There isn't really one photo that's more important than the others. At least not to me anyway. What's important is that your photos capture what it was like to be present on your wedding day, so that when you look at them in years to come, they take you right back to the moment.
