a foundation of images for your new journey together

more than just a standard service

Photography for my couples holds a significance beyond being just another task on their wedding checklist. Amidst the hustle of details like seating arrangements, it’s crucial to recognise that photography is the lasting essence that remains once the wedding festivities conclude.

Numerous couples who chose budget-friendly photography have conveyed profound remorse. As time elapses, memories dim, and relationships undergo changes, underscoring the heightened value of photographs.

If you’re seeking just basic photography, I may not be the right fit for you, and that’s completely understandable. You deserve a service that caters to your specific preferences, including your budget.

I view our collaboration as a partnership with a shared objective of delivering the finest photos for you. My commitment is to provide you with an authentic and valuable service for your investment. I am particularly passionate about collaborating with couples who cherish life and recognize the enduring significance of meaningful photographs. Explore the photography options available below:

have any questions?


I typically start approx. 2/3 hours before the ceremony to cover morning preparation & finish either at the first dance, or up to 2 hrs after depending on your package you have chosen. For smaller wedding coverage packages it depends on your requirements.

As soon as your images are ready for you, they’ll be uploaded to a secure & private gallery. You can download all of your images from there as many times as you’d like for up to a year. You and your guests will also be able to purchase professional prints & wall art with a 30% welcome discount too. For my main packages you can expect to have lifetime access to your images at no extra cost. For smaller wedding coverage, your gallery is open for one year from delivery of your final images.

For me, your images are the reason you book me. You want a wedding photographer who will create stunning memories & preserve them. With that in mind I give all my couples who book any all day packages (First dance, The full day & story teller packages) lifetime access to their gallery to download their images anytime you want them. For any 2, 4 & 6 hour packages I offer a 6 month limit to download your wedding images, or for an additional fee of £100, you can choose to have to lifetime access to your images too.

That’s a good question! Whilst I never insist on having a second photographer, having one can most definitely enhance your wedding memories. you’ll have more images captured, more candid moments of guests, and more angles of the two of you, but above all you’ll have full coverage of your partner getting ready too, and that adds & creates an extra element to your wedding day story. you can find out why I think it’s a good idea to have a second photographer by checking out this article.  NB – for weddings over 100 guests, I normally advise booking one if capturing as much of your wedding day is important to you.

For booking and saving your date, I require a booking fee of £200. This is non-refundable, and comes off your wedding photography balance. The remainder of your balance is due one month before your wedding. All payments are only accepted via BACS/Bank transfer.

I normally suggest choosing a location that has some personal meaning to yourselves, places such as your wedding venue (with permission), country parks, Lavender fields (typically an extra cost is involved to use private land, such as lavender fields), or a seaside location. Practically anywhere really.

I’m based in Essex, and typically don’t charge for weddings in Essex, however for weddings outside the county, I charge £35 per 100 mile round trips from my home. For weddings that require an overnight stay, this is calculated on an individual basis.

Being totally honest here, I do take group/family images, however, my style is focused on your wedding day unfolding naturally. I typically advise keeping these to a minimum of 10. Once you factor in your welcome drinks reception, a confetti shot, and your group shots it can limit any available time left for couple moments if you have a shorter interval between ceremony & your wedding breakfast/meal time.

The amount of photos you receive will be factored by a couple of things. Firstly, how much coverage you book me for? Secondly, each wedding is different, some weddings have lots of guests and more wedding activities going on, and some are less busier – I typically aim to deliver a minimum of 450, though that would typically be more with a two photographer package.

I don’t offer videography myself personally, I’m much more invested in photography. I do however work in partnership with Sam Wilkinson films. Sam is an absolutely fantastic wedding videographer, and equally brilliant guy too. you can see some of Sam’s work on my dedicated wedding videography page.

Super questions! On any given wedding I have a back up for just about everything. I carry 3 camera bodies, 6 lenses, and multiple flash lights. Even down to your images, as I have dual sd card slots for redundancy. Every single image I take is backed up to 3 location’s before I’ve even left a wedding.

I’m typically in good health, and touch wood, so far I haven’t missed one single wedding due to being ill. Of course it goes without saying that the situation could arise, so at the very least a full refund will be given, not including any pre-wedding shoots that I’ve already done. With that said I work very closely with some wonderful associate shooters, who in the event of something preventing me from attending, will be ready to fill my shoes for the day. All of this will be done openly with constant communication with yourselves.
