No, not at all.

Most couples you see on my website are people who told me they felt awkward in photos before their wedding.

You do not need to arrive knowing what to do, where to look or how to stand. During portraits, I’ll guide you naturally so you feel comfortable and the photos still feel like you.

Nothing will feel stiff, overly posed or uncomfortable.

No. With me there, you can be assured that the photography will not take over the day.

For most of the wedding, I’ll be quietly observing and capturing what is already happening. The real moments, the atmosphere, the emotion, the laughter, the energy and the people who matter to you.

There will be moments where I need to step in, especially for family photos and portraits, but I keep those parts calm, organised and efficient.

The aim is always for you to enjoy the wedding first.

Although my approach is mainly documentary, family photos still matter hugely.

We’ll usually plan a simple list beforehand, so on the day itself we can move through them smoothly without any stress or confusion.

I’ll organise people clearly and keep the pace moving, so you get the important photos without standing around for ages.

My approach is usually to use two small parts of the day that fit naturally into your plans, rather than pulling you away for one long portrait session.

I generally like couples to have the ceremony, enjoy the confetti, see their guests, have a drink and properly get into the wedding day before we step away for portraits. That time matters. You have brought all these people together and I want you to feel part of it, not like you are being taken away from it straight after tying the knot.

Often, around 10 minutes just before the end of the drinks reception works really nicely. By that point, you have usually had chance to relax, chat to people and settle into the day. The portraits tend to feel much better because you feel calmer, happier and more present.

Then, a little later on in the early evening, it is lovely to step away again for another 10 minutes or so. Once you’ve had some food, enjoyed a drink and properly settled into the wedding day, that little break before the evening party can work really nicely. It gives us chance to create portraits with a slightly different feeling from earlier in the day, still with a bit of guidance, but without it feeling like a big interruption.

There is always an element of going with the flow too. If I notice incredible light or a lovely quiet moment where it makes sense to step away briefly, I’ll let you know. The aim is never to drag you away from the day, but to create portraits that feel relaxed, considered and completely true to how the day felt.

Most couples book full day coverage, which covers up to 10 hours of your wedding day. For most full wedding days, this works really well.

It usually starts during the morning preparations and continues until at least one hour after the first dance, to ensure the evening party atmosphere has been documented in your gallery.

This allows me to capture the full feeling of the day, from the build up and ceremony through to the speeches, evening atmosphere and party.

If you need more coverage, extra hours can be added so everything fits properly around your plans. You can see more about my collections on the pricing page.

A wedding gallery should not feel like a handful of key moments stitched together. It should feel like stepping back into the day.

Every wedding is different though, so we’ll always chat through your timings properly.

The first step is to fill in the contact form and tell me a little about your plans.

I’ll personally reply to check availability and send over my brochure, so you can get a proper feel for my approach, collections and what is included.

From there, the next step is usually a relaxed Zoom call. This gives us chance to chat properly about the wedding, what matters most to you and whether it feels like the right fit.

If you decide to go ahead, your date is secured with a booking deposit and signed contract.

Around 10 weeks before the wedding, you’ll receive a questionnaire where you can give me all the details about your plans, timings, family photos and anything else I need to know.

Then, around 3 to 4 weeks before the wedding, we’ll have another video call to catch up and run through everything properly.

It is a great chance for us to iron out any questions, talk through the flow of the day and make sure you are feeling good about the photography before the wedding arrives.

Full day wedding coverage includes a minimum of 500 carefully edited images in your online gallery.

That number can vary depending on the flow of the day, the number of guests, the timings and how much is happening. For many weddings, the final gallery may include more than 500 images.

Rather than adding unnecessary filler, my focus is on delivering a gallery that feels complete, thoughtful and full of life.

You will receive a carefully edited collection that tells the story of the day properly, without endless duplicates.

For full day coverage, you’ll receive 50 photos in a highlights gallery within around 24 hours of the wedding.

I know how special it is to have something to relive and share while everything still feels fresh, so I always prioritise getting a beautiful first preview to you quickly.

Your full online gallery is then delivered within 8 weeks.

Every image is individually edited in my style, with care taken over the colour, tone and overall feel of the gallery.

Yes. I cover weddings across the whole of the UK and beyond, including destination weddings.

I’m based in Yorkshire, but I regularly travel for weddings and love photographing days in beautiful locations further afield.

For weddings further from Yorkshire, additional travel or accommodation costs may apply depending on the location and timings involved.

If that applies to your wedding, I’ll always explain it clearly from the beginning so everything feels straightforward.

Not always, but sometimes it can really add to the coverage.

A second photographer is especially useful for larger weddings, separate morning preparations or days where lots is happening across different locations.

It can also help capture more guest reactions, more natural moments and both sides of the story at the same time.

If I think your wedding would genuinely benefit from having a second photographer, I’ll explain why. If I do not think you need one, I’ll say that too.

I bring backup equipment to every wedding, including multiple cameras, lenses, memory cards and lighting equipment.

Weddings cannot be repeated, so preparation is something I take very seriously.

Your images are also backed up carefully after the wedding, so everything is handled with proper care from the day itself through to delivery.

Yes. I’m fully covered with public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance.

I’m always happy to provide venue documentation if it is needed.

Absolutely.

Everyone is welcome here.

The most important thing is that your wedding feels like you, whoever you are and however you are choosing to celebrate.
