About

I'm probably the most awkward person in front of a camera that you'll ever meet, which makes me a great wedding photographer.

Because I know exactly how it feels to freeze up the moment a lens points your way, I've spent 15 years making sure none of my couples ever feel like that. No awkward posing. No "hold that, just one more". No forty-minute cufflink arrangement sessions. Just me, blending in with your family & friends, acting like a professional guest who happens to be pretty handy with a camera.

My style is documentary. That means I'm there for the real stuff: the snorted laughs during speeches, the chaotic dance floor pile-ons, the quiet "holy crap, we're actually married" glances between the two of you. The moments that trigger a memory, not just a record of what your shoes looked like.

I'm based in Derby and photograph weddings across Derbyshire and beyond, but wherever your day takes you, the approach stays the same: I'm there to document the best party you've ever thrown, without it ever feeling like a photoshoot.

If the thought of a cheesy couples session makes you want to hide under the nearest table, we're going to get along just fine.
