My Approach

I’m very much a hands-off kind of wedding photographer. You won’t find me shouting across a room, bossing your guests around or making you perform a series of increasingly awkward poses (I usually outsource that job to the loudest bridesmaid).

I much prefer to blend into the background, like a well-dressed ninja. I’ll let things happen naturally, keep an eye out for the little moments, and give you a bit of direction when it’s useful. The aim is to make photographs that feel like you, rather than a photoshoot that happens to have a wedding going on around it.

I’m often told by guests how unobtrusive I am, and that I have a calming presence. A guest once told me I had “a great aura”. I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I’ll take it.

Life Outside Weddings

I’m originally from Taunton, where most of my family still live, and I have a completely useless Biology degree from the University of Birmingham. It hasn’t proved particularly helpful in my photography career so far, although I’m excellent at the Science and Nature category in a pub quiz.

I love being outdoors, preferably somewhere with more sheep than people. I’ve spent a fair bit of time bikepacking, including 1,000+ mile adventures along the Baja Divide in Mexico, Tour Aotearoa in New Zealand and the Altravesur in Spain. These days, you’ll usually find me cycling around Bristol or escaping to the countryside in my campervan, where I spend a surprising amount of time sleeping in rural car parks.

I’m a huge music fan. Between collecting vinyl, the eternal battle to get Glastonbury tickets (I’ve made it eight times so far) and noodling around on vintage synthesizers, there’s usually something playing. I also spend far too much time in Ableton, making electronic music that may or may not ever see the light of day.

I’m also a five-star-rated cat sitter in my local area. I don’t really do it for the money. I just like hanging out with cats, and apparently people are happy to pay me for it.

Anyway, that’s me.

Hopefully, that gives you a bit of an idea of the sort of person you’ll be spending your wedding day with. I’m there to keep things relaxed, make you feel comfortable, and quietly get on with taking photographs while you enjoy yourselves.

And if your cat needs a sitter, you know where I am.
