Hi, thanks for visiting! As a Documentary Wedding Photographer, I believe you, your family, and your guests should fully enjoy your wedding day without interruptions or staged moments. My approach is to capture the day naturally, documenting real emotions and authentic moments as they unfold—no posing, no directing.

Of course, if you’d like any formal couple, family, or group portraits, I’m happy to take them!

If you're looking for timeless, authentic wedding photos that truly capture the essence of your day...

Get in touch today!

While I’m based in the Midlands, I photograph weddings across the UK and Europe. In recent years, London has become my most frequent destination—I've been shooting weddings there almost every week! So much so that I could almost call myself a London wedding photographer.

About me & my documentary approach to wedding photography

I am a professional documentary wedding photographer based in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, capturing weddings across the UK and internationally. I specialize in natural wedding photography—authentic, unscripted, and free from posing or direction.

With over 30 years of international experience, I have perfected the art of capturing genuine, candid moments exactly as they unfold.

I believe your wedding day should be about you, your emotions, and your loved ones—not the photographer. My approach is unobtrusive, ensuring that the real story of your day unfolds naturally. I will never ask you to pose, smile, jump, or “act”—because true documentary wedding photography (also known as wedding photojournalism or reportage photography) is about capturing real moments, real emotions, and real memories.

Let’s tell your story exactly as it happens.
