Wedding Photography Services
When it comes to your wedding day, I take a candid, documentary-style approach. This means your day unfolds naturally, while I quietly capture every fleeting moment – the laughter, the tears, and everything in between.
I offer a range of packages to suit your needs, whether you’re after ceremony-only coverage or full-day storytelling. Each image is professionally edited and delivered in a variety of formats, including:
- Online galleries
- Luxury physical albums
- High-quality prints
- And more
When the weather (and venue) allows, I also love to use my drone to capture stunning aerial shots of you and your location—adding a unique and dramatic perspective to your wedding album.
Why Book With Me?
Let’s be honest—everyone wants beautiful wedding photos. But feeling relaxed in front of the camera with a total stranger? That’s not always easy.
That’s why many of my packages include a FREE Pre-Wedding Shoot. I get it—lots of couples feel awkward being photographed (I do too—my own wedding photos were a challenge!). But this shoot is all about breaking the ice, having a laugh, and helping you feel totally at ease.
By the time your big day arrives, we’ll have already met again for your wedding walk-through. You’ll feel completely comfortable, and I’ll know exactly what makes you tick. I won’t be a stranger with a camera—I’ll be someone you trust to tell your story.
Your wedding is never “just another job” to me. I bring genuine passion, experience, and a sense of fun to every celebration. Whether it’s helping calm the pre-ceremony jitters, pinning on a boutonnière, or joining in with the banter, I’m there to make the day stress-free and unforgettable.
But don’t just take my word for it—check out my reviews and hear directly from couples who’ve been there.
Let’s capture the real, the raw, and the ridiculously fun moments of your day.
Drop me a message—I’d love to hear all about your plans!

Great photographer
We honestly couldn't recommend karl enough. From the moment we first spoke, he was so friendly, professional and easy to work with, which made such a difference during what can be a very stressful time.
On our wedding day he made us feel completely comfortable and captured so many beautiful, natural moments without anything ever feeling forced or awkward.
Thankyou for being such a important part of our special day. We would 100% recommend karl to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Would highly recommend
Having Karl capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He was friendly, professional and captured every special moment naturally, from the excitement of getting ready to the laughter, tears and celebrations.
He was very knowledgeable and guided us throughout the day
Cant wait to see the final results

Amazing !!!
We were so happy we chose Karl to capture our wedding he was friendly, responsive, approachable, and easy to talk to. We had a video call to start with which was very helpful going through everything we wanted and didn’t want we also had a complementary pre wedding photo shoot where Karl went through different poses which helped when it came to big day Karl also took the time to go through what photos we wanted and with who which was a lot and he captured every single one of them I was so excited when we finally got to see our photos they are amazing and couldn’t be happier with them thank you so much would highly recommend choosing Karl

June 2026 Wedding
Karl was great. I contacted him and from the first time I spoke to him he was professional & friendly. We had an online meeting with him before the wedding and then on the day it was very organised. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Our wedding 08.08.26
Karl was absolutely amazing. There was nothing he wouldn’t and couldn’t do. He interacted with the children as-well as adults. He made us feel at ease and comfortable whilst taking photos. He worked amazingly with our videographer too. He was amazing with all our guests. If I could rate higher I would!
Thank you Karl for making our day so special and capturing it all.
Very much recommended for anyone thinking about booking Karl

Karl was absolutely amazing at our wedding on the 18.07.2026.
His communication was fantastic throughout and he was such a pleasure. He made us feel at ease and our day was made truly spectacular. He has an amazing nature and personality and he captured everything we could have possibly wanted.
We had a pre-wedding photoshoot with Karl and the pictures were perfect.
Highly recommend his service

Definitely Recommend!
Karl was lovely from the get go. We had a video call consultation to book him for our wedding. Told him my vision and created a package that was great value for money and monthly payments which definitely helped! We arranged a pre wedding shoot so we could feel comfortable and get used to poses. On the day Karl was supe professional but also casual, clear instructions for guests, made adaptions for wheelchair adaptation so my mum could still be apart of the day 🥰 can't thank Karl enough!!

Review from our wedding day
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer they were amazing from start to finish professional friendly and so easy to work with On the day Karl made us feel completely at ease which really shows in the photos
What really stood out was their attention to detail he captured so many little moments we didn’t even notice at the time the candid smiles small interactions and special touches that made our day unique Looking through the photos feels like reliving the whole day again
The final images were beautiful and delivered quickly we’re so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly and would highly recommend them to anyone

Mr & Mrs Pettigrew
Karl was very helpful through the whole process. On the day he rung both of us first thing in the morning and made sure we had both eaten and drank, gave helpful advice for the day, put any stress and worries to the side.
When he got here he was cheerful, he encouraged others to get the energy flowing.
The whole process from start to finish has been easy and he has kept in constant contact and if you had any questions he was always really fast and efficient with his replies.
We cannot thank him enough for how he conducted himself on the day. Made a stressful (but happy) day more enjoyable and easy.
