My work is primarily documentary-led, capturing weddings naturally as they unfold, with relaxed, lightly guided portraits when needed to create a balanced story of the day.
Most of the day is unposed. I only step in when needed for group photos or couple portraits, and I keep direction simple so nothing feels forced or staged.
Many weddings include a second photographer, usually my wife Susan. This allows us to cover both the key moments and the wider story of your day at the same time.
Very little. I don’t interrupt moments or stage scenes. Direction is only used when necessary to make sure key photographs are captured efficiently and naturally.
Yes. I’m based in Hull and regularly photograph weddings across Yorkshire and throughout the UK.
Your full gallery is typically delivered within 2–4 weeks, carefully edited and individually processed to maintain consistency and quality.
Yes. Pre-wedding sessions are available and are useful for couples who want to feel more comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day.
This depends on the length and flow of the day, but a full wedding typically results in a complete, curated gallery that tells the full story without unnecessary duplication.
Yes. Hand-finished luxury albums are available with most collections and are designed to preserve your story as a physical, long-lasting keepsake.
I work best with couples who value natural, real moments over heavily staged photography and want their wedding documented in a calm, unobtrusive way.
