Documentary wedding photography

I photograph the day you actually had.

Not a re-enactment of it at golden hour. I stay out of the way, I do not run a shot list, and the only time I will move you is if there is a wheelie bin in shot.

How I work

Two hours of your day, not eight

That is roughly how long most couples spend being photographed at a documentary wedding, and almost all of it is the group shots you asked for.

The rest of the time I am somewhere behind you. You will forget I am there, which is the entire trick and the reason the pictures look like people rather than models.

I do family formals because your mum wants them and she is right to. Twenty minutes, a list agreed beforehand, and then everyone goes back to the bar.

Collections

Three options, all with the files

Every collection includes every edited photograph at full resolution, with a licence to print them yourself. There is no album you have to buy to see your own wedding.

Illustrative figures on a demonstration site. Including the full-resolution files as standard is unusual in this trade and it is the single thing couples say made them enquire — which is exactly why it belongs on the pricing page rather than in the small print.

About

Twelve years, about forty weddings a year

I came to this from press photography, which is why the pictures look the way they do. I am interested in the bit just after the speech lands, or the moment somebody's dad realises he is about to cry.

I will meet you before you book, on a video call or in a pub, and there is no obligation at the end of it. You should not hand your wedding to somebody you have not spoken to.

Every photograph here would be a real one from a real wedding, used with the couple's written permission.
