Once in a lifetime photography
Documentary wedding photography and creative night portraits for couples wanting natural moments and something magical.
Based in Worcestershire, I blend unobtrusive storytelling with artistic vision to create wedding collections that capture genuine emotions and dramatic evening portraits.
With over 100 weddings photographed, I've developed a signature style combining natural documentary coverage with creative expertise.
Throughout your day, I work discreetly to capture authentic moments as they unfold. As evening approaches, I create stunning portraits using expert lighting techniques, smoke effects, and creative elements that become showpieces of your collection.
My approach ensures your wedding story is beautifully preserved - from morning preparations to spectacular night-time celebrations. Every collection includes candid documentary coverage and creative artistic portraits, perfectly blending natural moments and evening magic.
As a multiple Wedisson Award winner and recipient of the prestigious Flashmaster Gold Award, I bring technical expertise and creative vision to every wedding.
A recommended supplier at Worcestershire's premier venues, I help couples create authentic and extraordinary lasting memories.
Your wedding story deserves to be told through natural moments and creative artistry. Let's create something magical together.

101st Collection
This was a wedding at a beautiful Catholic Church in Stourbridge, West Midlands, UK.
The bride had expressed a wish to go back into the church after the ceremony for some lovely photos. The priest had already turned off all the lights, so I adjusted the ambient settings to expose for the window, then added three flashes, including the magenta-coloured gel, to light the altar.
Copthorne Hotel in Dudley, Bride and groom on the bridge lit with an off-camera flash and underexposed in camera to add the drama to the sky.

It was at the great Netley Hall, Shropshire for Ellie and Russell’ s wedding where I saw this opportunity for a night shot. Such a grand building, single off camera flash behind the couple, a black and white conversion and added a slight colour grading.

Just after wedding breakfast at Mill Barns, we set up for this photo, I feel it is important not to keep the bride and groom away from there guests for long. A simple off camera flash with blue glue behind the bride and groom. A little practice for first dance and there we have it!!!
