Documentary Wedding Photography.
My Style.
Documentary wedding photography is like having a silent storyteller capture the heart and soul of your special day.
Instead of posing you for perfect shots, I’ll blend into the background, observing and capturing the genuine moments as they unfold. From stolen glances to laughter-filled dances, I’ll create a visual narrative that reflects the true essence of your special day, allowing you to relive every emotion and detail years from now.
I often to work with people with a creative nature & so I’m used to people who prefer to be behind the scenes rather than the centre of attention. That’s why I work in a candid, reportage style to capture real, natural images of you and your guests, the energy, fun, humour & essence of what made your day.
Your Day
No two weddings are the same & I will work with you to capture the day that reflects you & what made your day unique. It’s important for your photographs to tell the story of your day, naturally, as it unfolded & as unposed as possible.
For the majority of the day, you’ll hardly know I’m there because the best way to capture the tiny details and the real, natural moments and emotions, is to be as unobtrusive as possible. I take a candid, fly-on-the-wall approach to the day, with maybe a little time for some relaxed & natural portraits.
My aim is to document your day with as minimal interruption so that you can spend your time in the moment, enjoying your day. Of course, if you’d like some group photographs, I’m happy to organise them to ensure that they run smoothly and don’t take over the afternoon.
The most important part of what I do is enabling you to be present and enjoy your wedding day, with your family & friends.

Experience
I’ve been a photographer all of my life. From school, to university, from years working on cruise ships, to now, I’ve always loved meeting & photographing people. I’ve documented more than 200 weddings, all over the UK and Europe.
I started photography when film was the only option, before digital cameras. I still enjoy film photography and I regularly bring a 35mm camera along to weddings.
I’m a full time photographer & when I’m not documenting weddings, I have a studio where I photograph headshots for actors, writers and creative types and I document theatrical productions throughout Yorkshire & the North East. I’m also working on a couple of personal documentary projects.
I live just outside Leeds with my Wife, Daughter, Dog & Cat. I also name my cameras.
Pricing for 2024/25
So, cutting to the chase, what’s it all going to cost?
No two special days are the same, so I don’t like to work with packages that you have to try and fit your day into. For a full day including the following:
- Full coverage from preparation in the morning until after the first dance (approx 10hrs)
- Fully edited High Resolution photographs that are yours to print and share, supplied on USB
- Password protected private gallery
- All travel within the four Yorkshire counties (Travel & Accomodation may apply further afield)
For everything above, a full day, it’s £1600, or £2100 with a beautiful, hand-made wedding album.
If you’re not after full day coverage, please get in touch and I’ll give you a bespoke price for the coverage you want.
