About

Relaxed & Natural Documentary Wedding Photographer based in Thatcham, Berkshire - capturing weddings across the UK and abroad.

Laid-back and Discreet Storytelling:

I want your wedding photos to tangibly bring you back to your wedding day, and all of its incredible memories and emotions with it. Photographs are so precious and I think it is such an honour to have the opportunity to experience and capture other people's weddings.

Before your wedding, I will make myself available to you, walking through your timeline, collaborating with your wedding coordinator, venue/s and other vendors to make it a seamless experience!

I will lead and guide you and your other half during the day with cues and directions to make sure you are totally focused on each other and looking your best, without awkward or cringey posing! This way your photos will exert real emotion, which always end up being my most favoured shots. I will come prepared with a list of group photos to work through the formal photographs efficiently, whilst getting awesome photos of your loved ones!

I take the utmost care to my photography before, during and after weddings. You can count on me to make sure you get the most beautiful photos! I pay great attention to details and this also goes for my editing. I will edit naturally, and will also get rid of any blemishes on the main photos when appropriate.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

Where do I start on how great Joshua was during our wedding. We found him on Instagram and I instantly fell in love with the style of his photos. He was prompt with getting back to me and we booked a zoom call to just go over details. Leading up to it we had a couple more calls just to make sure everything was perfect and details of how the day would go. He also gave us loads of help and recommended doing parts of the wedding a certain way to help it go smoothly. We had him for the whole day from start to finish, he captured our special day perfectly. Getting candid shots of everyone special to us. I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out and the way we got them digitally and USB was great to share with family and friends. Everything was perfect!

Amazing photos which we cherish

Josh's service was truly exceptional. Josh really put us at ease on our engagement shoot and made us feel comfortable in front of camera. He gave us confidence and took the pressure off. Josh's planning for the day was very thorough and he allowed any questions we had to be fired his way.
On the day, Josh was incredible and captured plenty of special moments which we cherish. Josh blended in really well which gave the photos a natural feel whilst putting others at ease.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with our photos and we had no doubt that our wedding photos were in the best hands. Josh is an amazing guy. We can't thank him enough! - David and Jessica

Joshua captured our day in April perfectly and we’re so grateful. Upon having to re-arrange our wedding celebration due to COVID, Joshua’s flexibility and relaxed manner (both in the lead up and on the day) helped to put us both at ease greatly. Ahead of the day Joshua liased with the wedding venue and scouted out good spots for the photos. Both Joshua and Kuno were brilliant at capturing natural shots and gave us a glimpse of the photos throughout the day to check that we were happy with them.
The memory stick arrived on a lovely, personalised wooden both which was a really nice touch.
We would highly recommend Joshua!
Thanks Joshua (& Kuno!)

Super professional

Joshua photographed our engagement shoot last year and wedding day a few months ago and we were incredibly happy throughout. He was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile for what we wanted - including hiking around the Peak District for our engagement photos! In the run-up to the wedding he sent us lots of information including his timeline of the day and had a video call with us to go over the details, so we felt very reassured that everything important to us would be captured. On the day the main thing that we (and a lot of our guests) noticed, was how invisible Joshua was! I've often seen other wedding photographers get in the way or be a distraction during the wedding day, but Joshua's ability to capture every moment so subtly meant we really enjoyed and could focus on the day. The photos are beautiful - we got a lot more than we were expecting, all a really lovely relaxed and natural style. His communication with us beforehand meant he really knew what parts of the day were most important to us so these were all captured.
We were really happy with Joshua and would highly recommend him.

Excellent service couldn’t fault it.

We hired joshua to photograph our wedding and he was the height of professionalism. He captured our special day perfectly with candid photos and set of pre thought out ones. He was excellent of communicating is thoughts of how to best capturing the day through what seemed like a wealth of previous experience. Even after the day the level of after care and options provided to us for how we’d like to have our photos displayed was amazing with so many options provided. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants well designed and beautifully captured photos.

Amazing photographer !

Josh is very professional and responsive, he was able to travel to France for our wedding. His style of photography totally convinced us and he was able to make us feel comfortable from the engagement shoot to the big day. He was able to capture all the details of our wedding. He was available to answer our questions and was able to find a fellow photographer to assist him. We would like to thank him very much and would totally recommend him. (Plus, the delivery was quick and we love the personalized USB!)
