Weddings

Weddings and civil partnerships are arguably the most testing discipline for any photographer. Other jobs might allow for reshoots but weddings need to be right; first time, every time. The modern wedding is all types of photography rolled into one: fashion, glamour, reportage, group-portrait, product and architectural shoot. The couple want the best, but they don’t want it to interfere with their day. It needs to be minimum fuss, maximum style. What that needs is diplomacy, tact, humour, patience… and skill.

I am an expert wedding photographer with a reputation for an engaging manner and a distinct vision. Offering traditional and reportage styles. I have a simple rule of thumb: produce the best photographs possible, but not at the expense of the couple’s enjoyment of their day. Relaxed, fun, and absolutely in keeping with what these occasions are about: romance, style, laughter, family and friends.

Same sex weddings

Small weddings. Large weddings. Destination weddings. Same sex weddings. Modern weddings. Unusual weddings. I do them all, and there is almost nothing I have not seen. I often think I should write “Confessions of a Wedding Photographer”, but I will save that for retirement, not that I ever see myself putting my cameras down. The point is that while all weddings are fundamentally the same, each is unique and individual. I treat every couple as special and approach each wedding as though it is the most important event I have ever covered.

I am happy to meet with prospective couples to discuss their needs and show samples of work. Generally all things are possible, whether the event is just up the road or on a different continent. Interested couples should get in touch to establish availability. A brochure will be sent out detailing the various schemes on offer. From simple unobtrusive registry office events with the minimum fuss, to the all encompassing Cullinan. Whether you are planning the wedding of the season, or a quick “I Do”, I provide you with the only thing other than the relationship itself that can last: the memories in vivid colour and sensual black and white.

Destination weddings

I offer four distinct packages, along with The Bespoke – the chance to tailor an approach to wedding photography that is just right for the two of you. The outlines of these packages are listed below. If you like my work, and one of these schemes appeals to you, the only thing left is to check whether I am available. Press that button and find out!

I provide wedding photography in Bexley, Bromley, South East London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, but also work further afield. I routinely covers weddings throughout the UK and overseas. Wherever you plan to tie the knot, I have the expertise and experience to deliver fabulous images you will treasure for ever, and can offer invaluable advice on how to make all your ideas come together perfectly. If you still need convincing, check out my testimonials. To look at some of my work go to the wedding portfolio.

Whatever package you go for you can rest assured that I always deliver, and I never destroy or delete my work. So if – God forbid – in the years to come you were to loose all your photos and albums, you could always come back to me knowing that I have them safe, sound, and backed up.
