I’m a Bristol-based wedding and portrait photographer with more than 10 years of experience photographing throughout the UK and overseas.

Weddings are a mixture of so many different types of photography that I appreciate, from people and portraits to architecture and landscape. As a documentary wedding photographer, I work quietly and discreetly, which allows me to capture the real moments of a wedding day with as little manipulation as possible. I focus on creating natural, unposed photography, and I’ve been told I have a relaxing presence and have an ability to put couples at ease.

With a photojournalistic style, I pride myself on creating wedding photographs that reflect the real emotion of your day. You might not notice me, but rest assured, your day will be thoroughly documented. I don’t limit the number of photos I give to you when I’ve finished editing, either, so you know you won’t be missing any gems – you’ll get every single one of the good photos!

Short and sweet, yet it provides you with a wide variety of portrait pictures with different backgrounds and lighting. Lastly, it is important to me that I get that balance right between capturing amazing images of you without taking too long.
