Last update: October 2024

Hi! I'm Paul, thanks so much for stopping by my portfolio.

My natural photography style has been honed photographing over 150 weddings. Although I'm well versed in formal portraits and organising large groups, my speciality is natural, candid photography that documents the day.

On the day I pride myself on being part of your wedding day without getting in the way. I like to be a friendly and assured presence that's there to capture all those special moments while you get on with enjoying yourselves with your nearest and dearest.

With every booking you’ll get a beautiful collection of photos that you’ll love sharing and looking at over and over, plus you can share your favourites in your very own newspaper.

My wedding newspapers are really popular, not only am I an experienced wedding photographer but I also have my own design business creating bespoke newspapers for people's wedding days and wedding anniversaries.

More than 150 happy couples have already put their trust in me to document their wedding day, don't hesitate to get in touch for a free quote.

The best colourful and vibrant wedding photos that we wanted!

Wow, what can I say. Paul was fantastic from start to finish.

So quick to respond, very friendly, professional throughout.

Paul took the time to understand what we wanted and wow did he deliver.

We wanted lots of colour in our photos, capturing people in the moment, laughing and also the capturing the quirkiness of the day. Paul did exactly that, his photos are incredible and are really what we wanted.

Everyone on the day complimented our photographer.

And it was so nice to wake up after the wedding to a glimps of his work.

I would highly recommend booking Paul.

A great asset to the big day!!

Great photographer with a fast turn around

Paul captured everything we had hoped for and more. He listened to what we wanted and wasn’t phased when we threw in the odd request of having our sheep present in the photos! Received the preview gallery just over 24 hours later and the full gallery 2 weeks later. Great service.

Brilliant photographer

Paul took beautiful photos of our wedding. My wife and I are thrilled with them. He really captured the day with natural candid shots and was never in the way. Multiple people have said they're the best wedding photos they've ever seen.

Artistic and helpful: an amazing photographer!

Paul is a terrific event photographer. He came to our wedding and somehow managed to unobtrusively capture everything. Before he arrived, his communication was superb and we had a couple of calls to set up what we wanted and needed from him, and his requirements. The formal set up photos were lovely with great lighting and angles and he managed to get these done nice and quickly. His best work was with the more candid photographs - he caught our friends and family laughing and celebrating together with beautiful shots that we will treasure. It’s great to have more formal photos too but the candid shots were unexpected and meaningful beyond our expectations

Totally incredible

Paul was our wedding photographer in June and we were so impressed with his professionalism, friendliness and ability to blend in seamlessly amongst our guests without intrusion.

We had a video call with Paul a few months before the big day to get an understanding of what he could offer and deliver. His down to earth nature and portfolio of candid snaps were exactly what we were looking for.

On the day of out wedding Paul arrived perfectly on time and got straight to work whilst myself and the bridesmaids got ready. It was a chaotic and stressful morning as we were running late with hair and makeup, but Paul with his calming nature made me feel at ease whilst he snapped away and got some lovely shots of us all.

We wanted natural and candid photographs that told a story of our special day and that is exactly what Paul delivered on. He mingled with guests and made everyone feel comfortable infront of the camera, with many of his shots capturing the laughs and smiles of our guests. He worked non stop throughout the whole day and was happy to take photo requests inbetween his candid ones.

We are so incredibly happy with the photographs from the day and were sent them electronically as well as on a usb stick for ease of download.

The cherry on top were the beautiful newspapers that Paul created with our favourite photos that we chose from the day. A totally unique keepsake to treasure forever.

We would highly recommend Paul to anyone getting married, and we are over the moon with the photos. Thank you

Paul was amazing from start to finish!

I would highly recommend Paul to anyone as a wedding photographer. Paul's communication was always so prompt and he provided us with a great selection of photos after the wedding and we received our whole wedding shortly after the wedding. Paul was so flexible with travelling during the day and he took so many great photos both posed and natural photos. The photos were of such a high quality and I can't stop looking at them. Thank you so much again Paul!

We wholeheartedly recommend Paul!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Paul as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and delightful. Paul made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, capturing every special moment with incredible attention to detail.

On our wedding day, he was both professional and personable, managing to blend in with our guests while capturing candid moments that we will cherish forever. The photos were stunning and perfectly captured the emotion and joy of our day. We were truly blown away by the creativity and artistry in his work.

Communication was fantastic from the start, and Paul took the time to understand our vision and preferences due our into call, via email and whatsapp. The final photos exceeded our expectations and arrived promptly and beautifully edited.

We wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Paul photographed our wedding last year and the pictures are just perfect. He captured our special day so beautifully was punctual and so professional. One of the services he offers is to print a selection of your favourite pics on a newspaper and we absolutely love it, such a unique idea and a great gift too. Can’t thank Paul enough and would highly recommend him.

Fabulous wedding photographer for those all important memories!

Paul was an absolutely wonderful photographer to work with leading up to, during and after the wedding. Very friendly and professional, we found it very easy to talk to him about our expectations for the big day. Communication throughout was great and he was very transparent about prices and the services he would be providing throughout the wedding planning. We were really happy with our wedding photos where he was able to get beautifully natural shots of us and our guests. Even though it was one of the hottest days of the year, Paul came smiling and ready to make memories of our special day right to the very last minute. We would highly recommend Paul if you're looking for a wedding photographer with a good eye for seeing natural beauty and giving you photos that will always make you smile.

Lovely memories in pictures!

"Paul was fantastic on our wedding day and took some amazing photos.We asked that he just circulate during the reception and take unposed photos, he did that and we are 100% happy with the results! Newspapers are a lovely touch too, and great to give to family and friends."

Perfect photos to capture our day!

We decided to book a photographer last minute as I put off the thought of having to pose for photos… Paul was exactly what we wanted. From first point of contact to sending the photos to us, he was very professional and listened to every detail, understanding exactly what we wanted! The end product was brilliant, and we have enjoyed sharing them with our loved ones. He captured the special, natural moments that we will cherish forever! He made me feel relaxed so I was comfortable taking photos (which I usually hate! Our guests have shared our love for the photos and commented on how Paul captured such great photos that they didn’t even realise were being caught on camera. We would highly recommend Paul, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing wedding pics

Choosing you as our photographer was not a difficult choice, you were our friends photographer for their wedding and we just loved how natural your pics were and how u captured the moment in time. You did the same for our wedding and we so grateful for that. We were so lucky to have you as our photographer. We received so many compliments of our wedding pictures and everyone even mention the vast amount you took on the day. Thank you again, highly recommended.

A Great Experience

Paul was absolutely brilliant. We had a very small civil ceremony and he had a really low key presence which was perfect for such a small occasion. He was friendly and communication was excellent in the run up to the day and on the day itself. The photos came through quickly and were gorgeous, exactly what we’d hoped for. Mainly candid as we requested but with a few more formal ones that we fancied having on the day. We would absolutely recommend Paul, he was brilliant.
