Photography is more than just capturing images—it’s about telling real stories. Whether it’s a wedding, a business brand, or a breathtaking destination, I focus on creating authentic, timeless imagery that feels as real as the moment itself.
  
My approach to wedding photography is all about natural, unscripted moments—the fleeting glances, the deep belly laughs, the quiet in-betweens. People book me for my natural, relaxed, documentary style of photography, I also love getting creative with light, composition, and location to craft something truly unique. If you have a bold idea, I’m always up for the challenge!

Fun Facts about me

When I'm not taking photos, I’m leading my local church youth group. Young people are not the future - they are the now, and it's great to help them navigate the challenges life brings. 

I've been married to Abbie since 2017 — she's my favourite. I definitely punched above my weight when I asked her out, and I’m incredibly grateful to have her as my teammate in life (and at weddings!) I’m also involved in youth work through our local church and I am passionate about investing in the communities we’re part of. After a long and hopeful journey, we welcomed our little miracle, Ezra, in 2023. He is the joy of our day and has made all our adventures even more fun.

We’ve travelled all sorts of places but Lyme Regis still has a big spot in my heart. It's been a second home for my family and me for years. 

I am afraid of cotton wool. I cant explain….

My favourite sweets are apple cables. Hint hint 😉

Travel is a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally (though honestly, they feel like the same thing). I thrive on exploring new places, discovering different cultures, and capturing beauty wherever I go. No destination is too far—whether it’s an intimate UK countryside wedding or a stunning celebration halfway across the world. In fact, I recently had the privilege of photographing Aline & Thomas’s beautiful Scottish wedding—take a look.
