tear to your eye.

My Style

My preferred approach to photography is very natural and 'hands off'. Whether you want to call it documentary, reportage, photojournalism or storytelling wedding photography. That means that most of the day I shoot candid, natural images as they happen in a discreet, unobtrusive way. I will not pose you or ask you to smile - just capture beautiful images as they happen, naturally.

I do of course take any family group shots you would like and also shoot some relaxed couple portrait shots. I can do these quickly and efficiently without taking you away from your wedding day for too long. When I photograph a wedding, all day coverage means just that, from dawn to midnight if required. It is your day, the story doesn’t finish at the first dance, and I believe your photo story shouldn’t either.

The images I shoot are then carefully edited and crafted to create a beautiful story of the day, in pictures. I capture emotions and memories as I see them and I won’t interfere or orchestrate your wedding day. My job is to blend into the day, being an almost invisible part of it, while still being in the right place to catch those beautiful moments that you will treasure forever.

KIND WORDS.......

“John is an absolutely amazing wedding photographer! He went way above and beyond to capture our big day, including staying till midnight!

He’s so easy going yet hard-working - somehow managing to snap the smallest moments that meant so much, yet we hardly noticed he was there... And the end result is just beyond fabulous!

Very highly recommended, he has a great personality too and was a pleasure to have at our wedding. Thank you John!!”

Your Wedding

Getting married is one of the most incredible things you will do in your life. Putting how you feel on your day into words is difficult, but it can be achieved with pictures. Which is where I come in; capturing the emotion, the journey, your story. Wedding photography really is an investment for life, and future generations. I feel it is so important to capture the day perfectly, and preserve forever.

You write the script. My focus is then upon documenting your story beautifully, through observation, not orchestration, with attention paid to every detail.

I believe a wedding should be photographed sympathetically and subtly. A quiet observer, blending into the background, telling the story, from start to finish.

And when I say the finish, that means capturing every element of your day, right till the end, if you wish.
