Get In Touch


I am available for weddings throughout the UK. Please get in touch to discuss your ideas. I am currently taking bookings for a very select few remaining 2024 dates and 2025/2026.

Please fill out the form below. I will check availability and we can then organise a call if you have any questions.

I am currently taking bookings for 2025 and 2026 with very limited dates remaining for 2024.

I will always send you some sneak peaks within a few days of your wedding with the full gallery delivered within 6 weeks from the wedding.

I am based in Telford, Shropshire, however shoot weddings all over the UK. 

The booking process is straightforward. If you’re interested in booking me for your wedding day, please reach out to check my availability. Should your date be open, I’d be delighted to discuss your plans further. If we connect and you decide I’m the right photographer for you, I’ll set you up in my booking system. To secure your date, a small deposit and a signed contract are needed. Approximately 4-6 weeks before the wedding, I’ll contact you to schedule a final meeting to go over the details. The final payment will be due at this meeting.

I limit myself to 25 weddings per year to ensure that I can deliver the highest quality service to my clients. The wedding day marks the beginning of intensive work for me. After each wedding, I dedicate weeks to editing the photos and videos taken on that special day.

On average, clients typically spend £1,350 on their photography services, and the same applies to videography. However, there has been a growing trend among couples to opt for the addition of a videography package, which saves them an average of £200 for both services. A full list of packages and prices is available here.

I do not offer payment plans at present. A £250 deposit is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due one month prior to the wedding. Should you wish to make incremental payments towards your package, you are welcome to do so. A confirmation of payment will be provided for each contribution made towards your balance.

I’ve worked at numerous venues throughout the UK. However, there are times when I encounter a venue where I haven’t worked before. On such occasions, I make it a point to visit the venue beforehand to familiarize myself with the space and meet the staff. It’s beneficial to tour the venue with the couple, discuss their ideas and preferred locations, and gather inspiration for the photography.

  • The wedding day is over… You’re painstakingly waiting the photos back from your photographer… you cannot wait! What’s my process? Well I can’t speak for any other photographer but I want to make sure your photos are looking amazing! Every wedding, I upload your photos, go through them get rid of duplicates or ones where people are picking their noses, and doing all other kinds of things and edit the ones I consider the best. I then look at them and edit them. I take out anything I think shouldn’t be there, adjust the brightness and colours, clean them up and most of the time straighten them 😂 This video I a really quick version of a photo that took me about 10mins to edit… I wish my photos were as quick to edit as this video!

  • Hate the idea of stiff, uncomfortable poses? These tips will help you look and feel amazing! ✨ First of all speak with your photographer and express your concerns. Let them know if you're worried about looking stiff or uncomfortable. A good photographer will listen and adjust their approach, suggesting poses that make you feel more relaxed and natural for you. Open communication with your photographer is key to feeling at ease in front of the camera. ✨ Choose a photographer that is skilled in natural posing. Someone who specializes in natural, candid shots. Look for someone whose portfolio show people looking relaxed and happy, not stiff or overly posed. This skill is a sign that they know how to guide you into comfortable positions that don't feel forced, making you look your best. ✨ And finally, some quick tips for feeling more comfortable: Focus on your partner or a loved one during shots to forget the camera, move naturally - whether walking or laughing - and don't be afraid to ask for direction. Remember, the best photos come when you're genuinely enjoying yourself, so relax, breathe and more importantly have fun! 💫 Follow for more tips on feeling natural and confident in your photos! 😆
  • Yes… I love the bushes 😂 Yes I always end up something stuck in me somewhere! But, it’s so worth it! I love having some fun with the bride and groom during their couple portrait sessions on a wedding day. Anything to bring out their natural smiles and laughter rather than staged and awkward smile.
  • It happens every single wedding 😂 ***Top Tip fellas*** Learn how to do it before the big day! 😂 Honestly I love working with the lads in the morning of the big day. Banter is top! Great fun, good laughs and I can take the piss that none of the lads can dress themselves. I’m not joking, the amount of times I have had to pop my cameras down and sort out button holes, pocket squares and sometimes ties is routine now. I cannot remember a wedding where I haven’t had to dress someone 😂 It’s all part of the service I guess. But in all seriousness these are the great moments you can look back on and laugh about, it’s a great way to break the ice and chillax especially when I’m taking your photos and or videos. It’s always better to have authentic smiles, laughter than posing and stuff awkward stares at the camera.
  • Well my first destination wedding went down a storm! What an experience! I’ve been shooting weddings for over a decade now and have been blessed to have captured so many incredible weddings. But, to be able to take my beautiful boy on his first holiday abroad whilst working and have everyone wrapped around his fingers just made the whole experience even better. Oscar was in his element, living his best life and what can I say I’ve got the bug for destination weddings now 😂 It was hard work, the heat alone made it 10x harder than any wedding I’ve ever had to shoot before and the fact I did photography and video in my own again made me question my sanity 😂 Running all around a massive venue, new traditions, different says of working made it even more enjoyable. Thank god the bride and groom were incredible and allowed me to wear shorts, t-shirt and trainers… I seriously feel like I would have died of heat stroke if I didn’t 😂 Here are a few snaps from our last night there, how could I take all my camera gear and not get a few of us before we left. I wonder where I will be off to next 😃
