I call my style creative documentary. Yes, I know. Everyone says that. It’s the “house red” of wedding photography. So let me tell you what it’s not. It’s not dusty. It’s not stiff. It’s not your aunt arranging you into a triangle and shouting “Chin down!” It’s not beige with a pulse. What I do is art with a heartbeat. I’m a creative director. I’m an exhibiting artist. A gallery-on-the-walls, concept-in-the-bones kind of artist. I’ve been doing this for 27 years, which means I’ve seen trends rise, fall, and quietly apologise. Through all of it, I’ve stayed obsessed with one thing: making images that feel alive. Here’s how it works. Before your wedding day, I get to know you. Not just your favourite colour and your dog’s name. I want to understand your rhythm. Your humour. Who starts the dance floor chaos. Who cries at adverts. I learn the texture of you. Then on the day, I don’t just stand back and hope magic happens. I create the conditions for it. I guide. I direct. I drop you into moments that feel cinematic but still completely yours. Maybe that’s the two of you against a riot of colour on a city wall. Maybe it’s smoke grenades painting the air. Maybe it’s an unhinged dance-off that becomes family legend. Maybe it’s confetti cannons erupting like joy finally got impatient. And threaded through all of that? Truth. There are times I disappear into the background and shoot pure documentary. You laughing. Your mum squeezing your hand. That look you give each other when no one else is watching. You won’t even clock that I’ve taken the photo. That’s instinct and experience doing their quiet thing. But there will also be vision. Ideas. Concepts. Frames that feel like they belong in a gallery but still smell like your wedding day. I won’t leave you awkwardly flapping in front of a camera. I won’t let you “just be natural” without direction. I hold the space. I shape the light. I create the moment. And inside it, you get to be completely, unapologetically yourselves. Your wedding isn’t a template. It’s not a copy and paste romance. It’s yours. And I promise to deliver it back to you with authenticity, creativity, and just the right amount of fire.

No two weddings are the same. They may share a skeleton, ceremony here, speeches there, dance floor mayhem later, but the soul? Completely different every time. I usually arrive about two hours before the ceremony. That’s when the air is fizzy. The nerves are doing cartwheels. Someone is steaming a dress. Someone else is pretending they’re not emotional already. However you “get ready” as a couple, chaotic, calm, champagne-fuelled, I’m there for it. It also gives me time to properly settle in. I introduce myself to the venue team so we’re in sync. I chat with the groomsmen and bridesmaids if they’re part of the story. I say hello to the parents. I make sure the grandparents know exactly who I am and why I might be hovering nearby with a camera when they’re having a quiet, beautiful moment. I don’t just turn up and shoot. I embed. I become part of the rhythm of the day. I’ll usually stay at least 30 minutes after the first dance. Because let’s be honest, the first dance is just the opening act. What happens after? That’s when the ties come off, the shoes get abandoned, and the dance floor turns feral in the best possible way. Broadly speaking, that means around eight to nine hours of coverage. The full arc of the story. The nerves, the vows, the hugs, the champagne spray, the questionable dance moves. But here’s the important bit: there is no template. If, as we plan, we realise you want sparklers slicing through the night air, or fireworks detonating above your venue, or an extra hour to properly capture the party chaos once it hits full throttle, we talk. We adjust. We build it around you. Every major moment is covered. Every essential beat is there. But the way it’s delivered? Completely bespoke. Your wedding isn’t off the rack. It’s tailored, fitted, and finished with exactly the right amount of sparkle.

Let’s turn the heat up. My prices? They’re all on my website. Every single one. Sitting there in broad daylight. No “prices from.” No mysterious “send an enquiry to unlock the vault.” No smoke. No mirrors. No awkward email ping pong just to find out if we’re in the same universe. I believe in straight lines and steady eye contact. Transparency is how I start every relationship. Trust first. Always. I’ve got nothing to hide and no appetite for games. If we’re going to create something electric together, we start with honesty. Whichever package fits you, fits you. Not because I nudged you there, but because it genuinely matches your day, your energy, your priorities. My couples choose based on what they value. More party chaos? Done. More storytelling? Absolutely. More time? Let’s talk. This isn’t a conveyor belt. It’s a conversation. I’m not just the person making the art. I’m your service provider. Your sounding board. Your steady pair of hands when timelines wobble. I care about the experience as much as the imagery, which is exactly why the pricing is laid out clearly. Clean. Open. No surprises lurking in the fine print. And if you want to talk it through? I’m right here. I’ll tell you what I think works best for you. Not what’s most convenient for me. Not what sounds flashy. What’s right for your wedding, your personality, your way of doing things. Clear. Direct. Zero nonsense. That’s how we begin.

ASAP, my friends. And I mean that with love and a mild sense of urgency. I typically book 2 to 3 years in advance. Wedding dates? They vanish like unicorn poop in a glitter storm. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. No secret stash. No “maybe it’ll reappear.” It won’t. When a couple locks in a date with me, that’s it. I’m yours. Exclusively. I only take a set number of weddings each year, and when that number is hit, the books close. Firmly. Then I start scanning the calendar for something equally important: a beach, a city break, a long lunch somewhere sunny. I adore my couples. I adore what I create. I also adore not being a crispy, sleep deprived shell of a human. I’m not in this to squeeze every last pound out of the calendar. I’m in this to show up sharp, inspired, and fully charged for every single wedding. So if you’ve seen the work, read the words, and thought, “Yes. He’s our kind of chaos. He gets it,” then don’t sit on it. Get in touch. Let’s get the wheels turning before your date pulls a disappearing act. And if I’m not available? You’re not stranded. I know this industry inside out. I’ll point you towards someone brilliant who will look after you properly. No gatekeeping. No ego. Just making sure you land exactly where you’re meant to.
