Hertfordshire wedding photographer

Creatively documenting your story

Creative documentary wedding photography, telling your story from laughter to tears and everything in between

Choosing a wedding photographer is quite difficult isn’t it? You often don’t know where to start or what questions to ask. Do you want a Documentary or Editorial style? Or is it more about the person taking the photos? Is punchy colour important, or would you prefer a washed out look? How long do you need a photographer there, and have you considered having a photographer that offers a video option too? Most importantly, are they a fan of Mrs Brown’s Boys? If the answer is No, you’ve overcome the first hurdle.

Hello.

PORTFOLIO

Take a romp through my website and hopefully I can answer some of those questions for you, but best of all, some time with me in person or on Zoom will give you a chance to find out if we are perfect a match as your partner is to you. My job is to tell the story of your day in the most joyful way possible. I will do posey stuff when it’s required, but for most of the day I will be a barely visible giant, moving deftly from one moment to the next.

In addition to still photography, I also offer Wedding Highlight Films as a way of delivering clients both exceptional still photography, and natural videography at the same time, with the same style.

This Is Me and you can Contact Me Through Here to check my availability and book a conversation with me about how Mrs Brown’s Boys isn’t funny. At all.

Creative documentary wedding photography in Hertfordshire

I’m a wedding photographer living in Hitchin, Hertfordshire who loves to photograph the emotion in people. Weddings give me a blank canvas of opportunity for this, and my couples trust me around their very favourite people. My wife Sian helps me run my business and sometimes shoots alongside me. Having recently got married ourselves, we have experienced your side of the planning process, and with the day going so quickly, we appreciate as much as anyone, the importance of exceptional creative content, to relive those magic moments over and over again.

ABOUT ME

Natural, Unstaged Photography & Film

Nearly all of my couples approach me looking for Natural Wedding Photographs. There are several terms used by Photographers including Documentary, Reportage, Natural, Storytelling, Photo Journalistic, and they are all correct. Minimal posing is my goal, so that even your couple shots look as natural as possible. I’m not just limited to Hertfordshire coverage, I travel across the UK and abroad, shooting for couples who share my creative vision. I have family in the Isle of Wight where I grew up as well, so I can always sleep in my parents shed if needed! If you want a photographer to tell your story in the way the images in my Portfolio do, and your day is loaded with fun, happy people and plenty of coffee, come and see me in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and we can get to know each other.
