The art of story telling.
My vision is to capture the essence of your special day through the medium of storytelling. At the heart of my approach lies the strong belief that your wedding is not just an event; it’s the culmination of your lives so far both with and without each other. It’s the intricacies, your hopes, fears and dreams all intertwined to create a wonderful narrative like no other.
My background in art direction has enabled me to take a unique approach to documenting your wedding. Above all else I believe in the power of asking the right questions beforehand so that I can truly understand your journey as a couple. My goal is to seamlessly blend into the fabric of your day, ensuring that the flow remains uninterrupted while I’m documenting every authentic moment.
Having said that, it’s important to note that i am most certainly not a stand alone documentary photographer. I like to replicate the energy of a wedding day and read when it’s important to get in close and also know when it's crucial to step back and let the magic unfold.
While it’s common for many photographers to define themselves by a specific feel or style - a choice I respect, I personally find confining myself to one genre to be creatively restrictive and ultimately to the detriment of the couple. what i prefer to do is draw from a wealth of experience and blur the lines between genres in collaboration with you both, offering a new unparalleled perspective that adds an irreplaceable layer to the day.
My commitment to listening without preconceived notions ensures that your story takes centre stage, I look to seek out the hidden subplots, the moments between moments that display genuine connections between your family and friends. As a storyteller, I embrace the challenge of unveiling the intricate layers that define your day, crafting an experience that you can relive over and over again.
Just incase you were wondering.
I live in Colchester, essex with my wonderful wife Tara who sings songs all across the world with her band, our 15yo rescue doggo - Roo and the newest edition to our fam, lil baby Jesse! We are very fortunate to see a vast blend of countries and cultures in our jobs this is of course something that influences heavily on my creative output and artistic direction when i'm shooting weddings.
We got engaged in 2019 and married a couple of years after in the sunny South of France. I of course orchestrated all of the visuals (perfectionist) so I know a thing or two about the crazy wonderful journey you're about to embark upon and i'm always more than happy to answer any non photography related queries you may have.
My favourite place in the world is Marrakech (brownie points if you're getting married there). my go to film is Interstellar, top drink of choice is a dark and stormy. My hobbies are Photography (sad I know) and I've also played guitar for nearly twenty years and enjoy writing a good song or two.
Life for me is this beautiful blend of calm and chaos. where I get to meet interesting people along the way. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Sound good?
So that’s the ethos that I work by on a wedding day. If this sounds like something that aligns with how you both see the day panning out, shoot me an email! I usually recommend a brief video chat before anything else takes place so we have a chance to connect and of course for you both to toss any burning questions you may have my way.
