About

HELLO I'M CHRIS!

I AM A RELAXED CREATIVE DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN THE EAST MIDLANDS BUT MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRAVEL WHEREVER YOU PLAN ON SAYING “I DO”!

I specialise in photographing people who don’t like being photographed!

Do you love each other and want your wedding to be all about having a great time rather than a prolonged photo session? That’s precisely where I come in!

Many people worry about not being a natural in front of the camera. You don’t have to be! As long as you are being yourselves with each other – whether you’re having fun, being silly, or expressing your love through playful banter. Whatever your dynamic, just be yourselves, and I’ll naturally capture those moments. This approach ensures that your photos truly reflect your unique personalities.

My main aim is to help you feel at ease and fully enjoy your wedding day! I’ll discreetly capture the moments as they unfold, reflecting your day as it happened and not as a staged photo shoot!

When you look back on your photos, you’ll be transported to your incredible wedding day, recalling all the love, laughter, and perhaps even a few happy tears. These memories will warm your hearts for the rest of your lives together.

More than a wedding photographer

Chris was amazing. Both my husband and I aren’t good with not great in front of the camera but with Chris we felt very comfortable and relaxed. The way that he took the photos most of which I wasn’t aware he was taking was great. As he catches a few moments that I will treasure in years to come. One of those is a picture of me giving my grandfather a hug which I love. Would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer.

We had Chris for our wedding in October and he isn’t just a photographer he is an entertainer too! He had us laughing and made us feel not awkward at all resulting in beautiful natural happy photos, thank you so much Chris!

Incredible- would absolutely recommend

Chris was absolutely fantastic at our wedding in August. He listened to exactly what we wanted, captured so many amazing candid photos of us and our guests (and as someone who hates having their photo taken, they must be good!) and mingled in with our guests perfectly. He even went above and beyond and gave some of us a lift from the pub to the venue! I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking around for a photographer who doesn't make you feel weird or awkward.

One Word - Wow!

We booked Chris for our wedding on 16/08/2025. One word - Wow!

From booking Chris has been amazing, we also booked a Pre Wedding shoot with Chris which I would highly recommend.
This was a great, relaxed experience where we could properly get to know Chris and get used to being in front of the camera.

On the day of the wedding, Chris was perfection!
Between helping Bridesmaids steam their dresses, helping the MOB dress the bride, dealing with toddler tantrums and even spending some time with the dog as it all started getting busy. Nothing was too much for Chris on the wedding day.

Even guests were saying how fabulous Chris was!

Our preview photos were sent so quickly to us too which just added to the amazing experience

10/10 recommend Chris, and I will be recommending him to anyone I know that is getting married!

The bridesmaid you never knew you needed!

I cannot but in to words how amazing Chris is! Over the years Chris has photographed my brothers and then my sister’s wedding so when it was my turn there was no one else I would have had. From start to finish Chris was amazing and just such a beautiful person. My bridesmaids struggled to button me and my dress and Chris swooped in and got me in it in no time!

I am absolutely mesmerised by my wedding album, the photographs are warm, vibrant and so natural. The magical moments that Chris caught really take you back to a day that seems such a blur as a bride when it’s all over. Being in front of a camera is my worst nightmare but Chris made me so comfortable I forgot about the camera all day.


Just Amazing!

My wedding

Chris has the the expertise to make any day you have to be captured in the most creative an special way. My wedding was no exception from when he arrived at my best man's home to capture us getting ready to have a bag full of items like pins and safety pins.
This shows experience of what could happen and what is required to make your special day go smoothly. He blended in seamlessly with the guests capturing the unforgettable moments and making them timeless. My guests all mentioned him and we're having conversations with him throughout the day. If you you want your special day captured in a unique way with the creativity which brings the best out of your wedding or party with his eye for enhancing colour and capturing the setting that you are in. Then may I suggest you choose Chris to be your photographer of choice. A friend of mine contacted Chris to take a photo for a book that has recently been published and also made sure he was credited for the photo he took for a grass roots football team. Thank you Chris for making the day special with your experience and expertise.

Civil Wedding Day Photography

We had the pleasure of working with Chris on the day our civil ceremony.

We loved the photos he took, they looked amazing, so much so they were displayed on the big screens at our reception party.

He was able to capture some great moments and showed professionalism throughout while adding a touch of humour which made the shoot enjoyable.

Would highly recommend Chris.

Thanks

What a pro!

We hired Chris as our wedding photographer on a friend’s recommendation and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. It was incredibly easy to talk to him about our half-baked ideas, which he skilfully turned them into beautiful photos of our special day. He not only ensured we all looked our best for the posed shots but also captured the joy of the day in natural shots using imaginative techniques that I won’t spoil here! On top of all this, Chris was invaluable to have around, helping with wardrobe malfunctions and slipping us breath mints and snacks throughout the day. What a pro! Thank you so much, Chris

A true master of his craft

Chris captured our wedding day perfectly! His talent for capturing the most special moments of our day was truly exceptional. Not only were his photos stunning, but he also made us feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. Chris has a wonderful eye for detail and a knack for finding the perfect shot.
Additionally, his attention to detail extended beyond the camera. He was incredibly helpful in assisting the groomsmen with their ties and buttonholes, ensuring that everyone looked their best. His calm and reassuring demeanor put everyone at ease and helped to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer.

Amazing job

After first meeting Chris at a wedding fair we both agreed instantly that he was the photographer that we wanted for our special day. We just clicked with him, With neither of us pose in front of the camera type of people, Chris really makes you feel at ease and will say something funny to take your mind of the camera which really helped and we cant thank him enough for the job that Chris did.

Chris did an absolutely amazing job - he really did go above and beyond for the whole day. He's incredibly friendly, professional and easy to work with - and the 775 photos that he provided were all absolutely perfect.

Beautiful Photo's

Chris was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only does he make you feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, he captures the most amazing photo's by being in the background capturing the 'in the moment' shots. We have truly beautiful pictures that capture the fun, love and laughter throughout our day, that we get to look back on and treasure forever. Amazing photo's and memories for an absolutely amazing and special day for us. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone, if you want someone who will make you feel at ease, relaxed and capture true life memories in the moment, then Chris is your man! He goes above and beyond, and we are forever grateful.

Way more than just an amazing wedding photographer!!!!

We hired Chris to take photos of our special day in August 2022 at a countryside venue in Derbyshire. Right from the word go Chris provided excellent communication and was always happy to offer useful suggestions to help us plan our day. We decided to have the package including two photographers for the day which meant we have amazing professional photographs of both wedding parties getting ready in the morning before the wedding.

We had a number of meeting with Chris during the planning process where he talked us through how the day would run, he was happy to accommodate all specific photo requests as well as coming up with some of his own creative ideas on the day. We made special requests to disappear from the wedding reception during sunset to get some golden hour photographs which we definitely recommend! Chris is very good at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera which results in amazing and natural looking photos and he was really helpful on the day with timekeeping and making sure we were all where we needed to be at the right time.q

We received our wedding photos sooner than expected shortly after our Honeymoon, one thing that we really liked about the online photo gallery is that all of the photographs from both photographers were time stamped, so all of the gallery appeared in chronological order; we could see what each party was doing at the time. Looking through our gallery was like reliving the day all over again! The photos are easy to download and store on an external hard drive and we are hoping to have an album made with Chris in future.

If you choose to go with Chris as your wedding photographer you can relax in the knowledge that on your wedding day all of the photography will be taken care of and you can just relax and enjoy your day!

THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS AND LUKE
