boujee documentary. relaxed editorial. good vibes always.
wedding photographer -Manchester & Cheshire based, UK & Europe covered
Your wedding is photographed with an editorial eye and a calm documentary approach, bringing together natural, fashion inspired imagery with the genuine moments and connections that make the day yours.
I’ll quietly document your wedding as it unfolds, stepping in with a little gentle direction when it helps. The result is a collection of photographs that feels refined and artistic, but still completely honest to you.
"We booked Paul after being drawn to his style and his incredible use of light and shadow. We also really wanted a photographer who would make us feel relaxed, and Paul was absolutely the right choice"
hannah & sam
Blending digital and 35mm film photography for images that feel soft, true to life and full of character. A refined, modern approach with a natural, filmic quality, created to feel as good in twenty years as it does today.
A FRESH, REFINED APPROACH THAT DOESN’T TAKE ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY
Why I've Been Trusted To Photograph Over 350 Weddings.
1/ TIMELESS PHOTOGRAPHY, WITHOUT LOSING THE FEELING OF THE DAY
Your photographs should still feel like your wedding, years from now. Full of the people, atmosphere and little imperfections that made it yours. Refined and beautifully considered, without losing any of the feeling along the way.
2/ A CONSIDERED EYE FOR PEOPLE, LIGHT AND ATMOSPHERE
The good light, the fleeting glances, the people you love and everything happening around you are quietly noticed, bringing it all together in photographs that feel natural, effortless and distinctly yours.
3/ NEVER OVER DIRECTED
You won’t spend your wedding being constantly repositioned or taken away from your guests. When a little guidance will make a photograph better, it’ll be simple and relaxed, giving you enough direction to feel comfortable without anything becoming staged.
Experienced. refined. sought after. renowned... humble?
Full Galleries available on request, no hidden bits
It’s easy to build a portfolio from a photographer’s very best images. But your wedding won’t be delivered as a portfolio.
You’ll receive a full story, including the big moments, the in-between ones, and plenty you probably didn’t even know were happening.
That’s why you’re always welcome to see complete galleries from real weddings, exactly as they were delivered. You can see the consistency from preparations through to the party, and get a much better idea of what your own photographs could feel like.
A gallery isn’t just the highlights. It’s the whole story.
"I would give a million stars if I could. A piece of advice- you must book Paul!
I could go on and on about how bloody brilliant he is! Please book him- just do it!"

have passport, not afraid to use it
he same relaxed, considered approach, for celebrations a little further from home.
A destination wedding is about more than choosing a beautiful place.
It’s the people who’ve travelled to be there, the atmosphere you create together and the extra time you get to spend with them.
Your photography should fit naturally around all of that, giving you the freedom to enjoy it while everything is quietly documented.
the only person not in your photos
That'll be myself. Paul. So probably worth knowing a little about me.
Feeling comfortable matters. You won’t need to perform for the camera or wonder what you’re supposed to be doing. You’ll have someone calm, experienced and easygoing alongside you, who’ll get to know what matters to you and your people before the day arrives. A little guidance when you need it, plenty of space when you don’t, and the freedom to get on with actually enjoying your wedding.
I’m happiest travelling somewhere new, discovering new food, hunting down the best coffee in town and spending time with my wife and family. I appreciate good design, good music and people who don’t take themselves too seriously. Which, thinking about it, probably explains quite a lot about the weddings I enjoy photographing too.
