A few things about me
01
First camera
I picked up my first camera at about ten, after years of poring over our family photo albums.
02
Best job in the world
17+ years and 500+ weddings in, and I still feel that way.
03
Married in the Lakes
A tiny Tuesday-morning wedding with Sam at The Samling, then an afternoon sailing Windermere.
04
Dad of two
William and Arthur love announcing to the world when daddy’s on the phone.
05
Night owl
Most of my editing happens once the boys are in bed.
06
Camera shy too
Not a natural in front of the camera myself, so I know exactly how that feels.
In a nutshell
I’m a husband, a dad of two, a night-owl editor, and the photographer who’s still on the dancefloor long after the first dance.
How it all began
The very first time I held a camera I was about ten. I’d spent years flicking through our family albums – simple, often shockingly bad photos of us walking in Yorkshire and my dad building his farm. But they were full of real moments, and that’s what stuck with me.
Seventeen years and over 500 weddings later, that’s still what I chase. A wedding is a time capsule of two families becoming one, and it’s rare you’ll ever have all those people together again. I want you to keep coming back to your photos – on anniversaries, as your family grows, and to remember the fun you had.
There’s an old business rule that you should never treat clients as friends. I break it every time. I take the time to get to know you before the day, because you are the key to photos that feel like you.

Photographer and groom
When Sam and I married, I went through the whole process of choosing a photographer myself. We’re both a bit awkward in front of a camera, so we kept the day relaxed and did our portraits the next day – hiking up to Blea Tarn in wedding clothes and wellies, in pouring rain. Worth every drop.
It taught me what really matters to a couple on the day. So if you’d like, I’ll happily share tips on timings and priorities, based on what you’ve told me matters most to you.
