I'm a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER with a passion for ARTISTIC DOCUMENTARY photography.
Based in Cheshire, I specialise in capturing chic, countryside weddings with a fresh, refined, and contemporary approach.
Think natural, unscripted moments, relaxed portraits, and a sprinkle of editorial flair for good measure.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring the countryside with my wife and our two-year-old son - or probably eyeing up the dessert table at your wedding!

How did it all start? Well, with bikes...
I was the nerdy kid, always a little shy. When I started to ride BMX bikes in my early teens, the world became a place that I could explore.
The adults said that I ‘came out of my shell’.
Bikes led me to photography, I became obsessed with documenting travels and adventures with my bike.
Documenting ‘cool bike stuff’ became my life. The cool stuff eventually evolved from people on bikes exclusively, to people doing anything that fascinated me.
CAMERA to my eye, I explored the world and met some of my FAVOURITE PEOPLE in it
I travelled to many, many different countries, and my work was focussed on people having a good time. My best friends were other photographers and some remain by my side today.
When my feet landed on the ground, I moved to London and photography continued to be a dream job. My work was commercial at first and I landed some great jobs, but my work would eventually centre around weddings.
In my early 30’s, I moved to the small market town that I now call home. My heart is in the countryside.
Let Me Raise A Glass (Of Red) To My Wife
Weddings and marriage are important to me, of course, but I have my own wedding story, too.
It started when I met my wife, Elizabeth. Her support for me and unquestionable love make me who I am.
Between us, we have an amazing son, Reuben, and a rescued pussy cat called Luna.
I feel COMPLETE now that I have my own FAMILY.
