ABOUT me
I live by the beach in Kent with my wife Lyndsey, another London wedding photographer, and Ozzy, the French bulldog. The former loves plants, candles and mid century furniture, the latter loves sleeping and eating carrots & broccoli. And me? I can usually be found cycling,playing guitar and drinking coffee. I shot my first wedding in 2011, so I am pretty experienced with all types of weddings.
My Approach
With 15 years experience, I have got unobtrusive down to a fine art. I won’t be up in your face all day… that is not documentary wedding photography.
Being unobtrusive is very important to me. Most people get in touch with me because they do not like having their photos taken. I believe the best photos taken of ourselves are the ones where people are not conscious of the camera. My aim for your wedding day is to be present and blend in: to be a guest with a camera and provide you with beautiful photographs of yourselves, your friends and your family all enjoying the day naturally without the need for direction. I will document your wedding day… not direct it.
FAQ’s
How do we book you?
A completed booking form together with a retainer of £500.00. Once I have received these two things the date is secured.
Do we need to meet?
Much of my work is available to view online, so a video or voice call is a great way for us to have a chat about your wedding and my approach.
How many images will I receive?
I aim to provide in excess of 500 images for a full days coverage.
How many of my photos will be black & white and how many colour?
I normally try to deliver a 70:30 ratio in favour of colour… You may notice that I show a lot of black & white photos on my site. This is a personal preference as I love the timeless look and feel of old black & white film photography.
Do you use flash?
Only when I need to. I use flash to improve the quality of light rather than quantity, but I am mostly a natural light photographer.
Do you take family group photographs?
Yes… at every wedding… These are very important pictures. On my booking form I will ask you to list the family group shots you would like taken. I suggest up to six for the documentary style you are booking me for to prevail.
How long will it take to receive my photos?
I aim to have them ready to view online by the time you return from your honeymoon.
Will you take the portraits of just the two of us?
Of course. I will normally ask you at some point during the day when you are ready, this will usually only take 10 – 20 minutes of your day. I like to wait until the light is right or when you are both relaxed. My aim is to make it natural and not to look too staged.
Do you have insurance?
Being a professional wedding photographer, I have full Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance.
How far will you travel?
As far as you want me to travel… there will be addtional fees for outside of England, please enquire for more info.
Do you provide photo books or albums?
I do not have packages…. I offer books, prints and albums as extras. If you would like one, then this can be arranged, I will not try to sell you something you dont want.
Get in touch to ask any questions you have, or if you would like to have a chat about your plans.
