Hello<\/p>

I came to photography sideways<\/span><\/h2>

Through a printmaking degree and four years in a darkroom that smelled permanently of fixer. That background still shapes how I work: slowly, with attention to what light is actually doing, and with a strong preference for getting it right in the frame rather than afterwards.<\/p>

I photograph around twenty weddings a year. That is deliberately fewer than I could take, because the alternative is arriving at your day tired.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n

The camera is a reason to pay closer attention than you otherwise would. That is the whole job.<\/blockquote>

How I work<\/span><\/p>

Documentary, mostly. Directed, briefly.<\/h2><\/div>

For roughly ninety per cent of a wedding day I am photographing what is already happening. I do not stage moments, I do not ask people to walk back through a doorway, and I will never interrupt a conversation for a better angle.<\/p>

The other ten per cent is portraits. For about twenty minutes I will take the two of you somewhere with good light and give you genuine direction. Most people find this part far less painful than they expect.<\/p>

What you receive<\/h2>

A private online gallery six weeks after the day, with unlimited high-resolution downloads, a built-in print shop, and a gallery link you can share with family.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
