The Vibe: More Human, Less 'Wedding-y'
Let’s be honest: most wedding photography can feel a bit... repetitive. It’s often a conveyor belt of forced smiles and photographers who treat your guests like props.
I’m not that guy. As a documentary wedding photographer based in Lincolnshire, my approach is built for people who want a premium creative experience but refuse to spend their day being told where to stand. I don't just "shoot weddings"; I document a high-stakes, unrepeatable human experience.
Whether you’re getting married in Lincoln, a chic warehouse in London, or a barn in Yorkshire, I’m there to capture the nerves, the roar of the laughter, and the "what the hell just happened" glances.
The "No-Perform" Policy
I have a physical allergy to "pretend" moments. I don't work from rigid shot lists, and I won't ask you to fake-laugh while staring into each other's souls. My job is to be completely immersed in the day—part guest, part observer—so that when the real magic happens, I’m already there, finger on the trigger. This is candid wedding photography in its purest, most professional form.
How I work
Okay, I am a super chill guy. I want to be the person you don’t need to stress about in the run up and on your wedding day. It’s really not rocket science. You book me, I show up and be a lovely guy to be around and also photograph the heck out of your wedding day!
First things first: You need to contact me! We’ll have a quick chat either in person or on a call so you can see I’m a normal human being and I can hear all about your plans. If we click, we’re on and we get you booked in and make our plans.
I usually show up a three hours before the ceremony. I spend time getting to know everyone, this really helps relax your friends when they see I’m just a nice guy to be around! There’s no "pretend to put your shoes on" here. I’m just there to capture the anticipation, the nerves, and the inevitable glass of bubbly. It’s the perfect time for your inner circle to get used to me being around so they can forget the camera exists.
I’m a master of being invisible. During the vows, I’m a ghost. After the "I do," I’m right there for the confetti and the immediate, unbridled joy. This is where my photojournalistic style shines—capturing the atmosphere without interrupting it.
I’m not a fan of stealing you away for hours. You have a party to get back to. We’ll slip away for about 15 minutes just a walk, some fresh air, and a moment for you two to actually speak to each other. I’ll keep it creative, keep it quick, and get you back to your drinks before anyone notices you’re gone.
Family photos are important - grandma needs one for the mantelpiece but they shouldn't feel like a chore. We keep the list tight (around 9 groups is the sweet spot) and get them done with professional wit and speed. No fuss, no drama.
I don’t bolt for the door as soon as the cake is cut. I live for the dancefloor. I like to get right into the thick of it to capture the glorious, sweaty reality of a party in full swing. If people are losing their minds to 90s/00s indie/rock, I’m there for it!
