About

Hi, I’m Tim — an award-winning Hertford wedding photographer blending fine art beauty with natural, relaxed storytelling. I specialise in capturing real emotion, connection, and the unique atmosphere of each couple’s day. My approach is easygoing, unobtrusive, and tailored to you — whether you’re planning a countryside celebration or a destination wedding. From quiet moments to epic dance floor scenes, I create timeless, honest images that reflect your story. Based in Hertford and available across the UK and beyond. Let’s make something beautiful together.

Authentic Connections, Timeless Memories

Your wedding is all about you, your love, and your journey. I focus on building genuine connections so that you and your guests feel completely comfortable. This allows me to capture every smile, every embrace, and all the little moments in between—beautifully and naturally.

Tailored to Your Needs

No two weddings are the same, which is why I offer flexible packages to fit your plans and budget. Whether you're having an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I’ll document your day with care and attention to detail. There are no cut-offs or hidden extras—just honest, full coverage so you can relax and enjoy your day.

If you love the nostalgic, classic feel of traditional film, I also offer a film photography package. Some moments deserve that dreamy, timeless quality that only film can provide.

Your Happiness, My Priority

Here’s what my clients have to say about working with me:

"Incredible attention to detail." Clients appreciate how I capture not only the key moments but also the hidden gems of the day that might otherwise go unnoticed.

"Made us feel completely relaxed." Whether you’re camera-shy or love being in front of the lens, my professional and friendly approach ensures you feel at ease, resulting in genuine and heartfelt images.

"Captured everything we asked for and more." From candid laughter to tender exchanges, I prioritise reflecting your vision while exceeding expectations.

"Professional and adaptable." I’m not just a photographer—I help with your day’s schedule, adapt seamlessly to changes, and ensure every moment is beautifully documented.

"The photos are spectacular!" My clients cherish the high-quality images I deliver quickly, often getting to reminisce while still on their honeymoon.

"Our guests loved him!" My approachable and unobtrusive style lets me blend seamlessly into your wedding, putting everyone at ease while capturing the joy of the day.

Tim really made the experience easy!

From our first call with Tim we instantly felt comfortable with him and knew he was going to be the photographer for us. Tim and Emily made the whole day and experience so relaxing and a lot of fun. My wife and I aren’t people who are very comfortable posing for photos but having two photographers make us feel completely relaxed really made all the difference. Tim got the photos over to us so quickly which honestly blew us away. It meant we could enjoy looking through them and reminiscing about the day all over again whilst we were on our honeymoon which was such a treat.
The photos themselves are exactly what we asked for and we really appreciated the attention to detail. They managed to capture the best moments of the day along with a whole lot more.
Some many people at our wedding complimented on how nice both Tim and Emily were which really makes a difference. You didn’t want photographers to be pushy because they were on a limited time frame. We couldn’t recommend Tim enough!!!!

Wedding June 2025

Hiring Tim was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From our first meeting to the final gallery delivery, they were professional and kind. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured every special moment effortlessly, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive.

The photos are absolutely stunning — full of emotion, beautifully composed. They also did a fantastic job capturing our friends and family in such a natural, candid way.

Tim was a joy to work with — punctual, organized, and truly passionate. We’re so grateful for the memories they’ve preserved for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding photographer.

Amazing day

I highly recommend Tim as a photographer for your wedding. He is amazing and so is Catherine.
Tim really helped when we were running late to make sure I got pictures of my dad seeing me for the first time in my dress.

The pictures came back quick and were all amazing.

Attentive and creative photographer! Beautifully captured moments

We hired Tim for our wedding on the 15th August 2024 and we couldn't be happier with the photos!

Tim was very responsive and attentive from start to finish. He made sure to capture all the details of the wedding and the most precious moments.

We'd 100% recommend Tim! Thank you again :)

Incredible photographer!

We cannot recommend Tim enough as a wedding photographer. He captured our day with the most beautiful photos, his attention to detail is incredible and he captured all the things we couldn't take in on the day! Tim is so much more than a photographer- he helped organise our schedule, ensure we had all our group photos taken, was very adaptable on the day when timings changed and we thoroughly enjoyed working with. Tim is a huge part of what made our day so special and we can't thank him enough!

Fantastic Wedding Photographer

Tim photographed our wedding on the 16th May 2024. Both my husband and I felt very comfortable with Tim and this shows in the sneak peek previews we have received so far! A fantastic photographer that all our guests have complimented too. Thank you for being a part of our day, will be recommending to anyone who asks! Anna and Andy Brown :)

Captures great memories so beautifully!

Tim photographed our wedding in July 2023. We wanted a natural feel to our photos.... Capturing the fun and laughter of the day without it feeling like someone is constantly watching you.
Tim made regular contact with us leading up to the day and provided us with guidance on what to expect.
I feel the photos speak for themselves as they are truly spectacular!
Thank you Tim for capturing our special day so beautifully.

A creative, attentive, professional. He completely made our day.

To have Tim as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions myself and husband have made!
His creative eye captured everything we could have wished for in our wedding photos and paid special attention to small details which have really stood out for us!
Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Very professional and made our day!
We chose his Top Tier package, having the engagement shoot prior to the wedding was an amazing idea as well as having the second photographer.

Wonderful experience


These are beautiful photos; we are really happy with them. Tim was so professional on the day and very unobtrusive. He made everyone feel very relaxed, which was great for someone who is not a fan of posing for photos. I would highly recommend Tim as your wedding photographer.
